Ms Duck:
No, i was an engineering/ applied math major for three years before ending up in accounting.

and i am way out of date on this stuff.. if a meteorologist wants to chip in and tell me im wrong, please feel free.

ahh a numeromancer  ;)

yep. i drove one of my DM's nuts years ago when i played a mage that cast spells in calculus.

 ;D

lmao... i really gotta find some people to bring me into the old school rpg loop. i like it but i don't know anyone nerdy enough they actually play ::)

Ms Duck:
I cant sleep

so dont take this too seriously, im juts thinking aloud.. too much coffee does this too me.

whats the worst case Mab could be?

if 10^18-10^20 joules is a conservative estimate, whats an outer limit?

well.. lets assume that mabs was not doing it on purpose. ergo, it was a side effect from her pressence on earth... which was on demon reach

thats about 250 km from chicago, more or less, according to descriptions from Jim. throw in another 100 km to hit Joliet ( Murphy's place) and we can assume a cylinder with a height of 8.5 km and a rough radius of 350 km.

or 3,271,183,350,550,372 cubic meters

at 1.205kg per cubic meter, at average temp we get..

about 3,941,775,937,413,198,260 grams

now it take 1 joule to cool 1 gram of air (with considerable fudging for humidty, etc..)

so 21 c to 0 ..

82,777,294,685,677,163,460 joules. to accomplish this for one second. in may.

hmm thats not too bad..close to original figure.

ok, how much power does she lose in one second based on surface contact?

(asuming no convection, because there was no reports of tornados tossing the sears tower into the lake.)

(also assuming instant transfer, as im not getting into special relativity and times cones here.)

gives us via fourier's heat equation a transfer of  0.006804  calorie/centimeter^2-second

hmm now the surface area of that cylinder was (in cm):

  934,623,814,442,963 cm^2 (asuming contact surfaces only)

so along with the inital cost, she was burning 6,359,180,433,469 joules per second just to keep it cold.

thats another 4,944,898,705,066,212,572 just in the few days we saw in GS.


total cost of the cooling alone:


132,226,281,736,339,289,182 joules

or 2,098,829 small atomic bombs.

dont worry, im sure we can take her. all it will take is one iron bullet, right? um, peeps? who wants to shoot first?

 ;D
