Nuke It! (http://www.carloslabs.com/projects/200712B/GroundZero.html)

Take Google Maps application.

Combine with a list of nuclear weapons and the fallout zone.

This creates the Nuke It application. :hmg:

That's a potentially disturbing application, yet quite interesting.

BTW... OH Crap!! one Tsar bomb would obliterate my whole state gah! (Colima)

And one asteroid would destroy whole North America... interesting

Not really. The thing is rather simple and amateur, no offence Murat, and has little validity for I know not of its source. The good thing about it is that you can set it to test an explosion anywhere, which its only advantage, unlike most other calculators. First of all, thermal damage is just a fraction of the worries. The blast wave and the blast flash are equally important dangers. Wind factor and height of the initial implosion has an unrivalled effect on the explosion, as does humidity/precipitation to a slightly smaller degree. FAS (Federation of American Scientists) website has quite a bit of very accurate/valid material on nuclear weapons, a must read for all "enthusiasts":

Here (http://www.fas.org/nuke/intro/nuke/index.html)are some of the effects well explained on the FAS website. Here (http://www.fas.org/programs/ssp/nukes/calcsmain.html) are various calculators.

I know what you mean, but being able to set a bomb off anywhere...it's just great...

Eh? What did I say wrong? I was only joking. Or were you reffering to someone else? What I said was in the same context as your first post in this thread.

Right. I didn't notice someone posted in between, probably should have quoted to make it clear.

Ahh, if only nuclear weapons were as simple solutions as they seem!!! Somalia would be a splendid target as well. Commercial ships cannot be armed, armed intervention in Somalia already failed in the 1990's, order will not come to the country, and no nearby powerful countries exist who would regulate the piracy. Not like the Indonesian/Malaysian piracy of 1990's, the other notable piracy explosion in modern history (but not as notable as the infamous Bay of the Pirates :laugh4::laugh4::sweatdrop:).

It's a cool application, but if you want to talk even semi-seriously about which countries you would like to give the Fallout treatment, take it to the Backroom. Closed.
