Thanks for the correction. Got a bad relation in my head. Maybe it is the ratio of explosive mass, to the amount that actually "goes missing". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent#Examples .... 2kg equates to 42.96 Mt, or 1 Mt = 21.48 gm (if Wikipedia is to be believed.) And the other's point about the OP meaning chip manufacturing vs. the chips from machining a block of material is well taken. The equivalent "hand grenade" explosion of converting a dust mote to energy, somehow avoiding destroying the chip circuitry and its various photo processes, will still be unworkable. David A. Smith

Smith Are matter anti-matter annihilations being observed in uni labs on a regular basis? Common sense is the rule of the day. A puff of wind provides all the action reaction energy we need to move a dust particle through sea level atmosphere. Why burn more than needed?

Unfortunately that Wikipedia value of 17.975e16 J/kg is wrong. In SI units, a joule = newton*meter = (kg*m/s^2)*m = kg*m^2/s^2 = kg*(m/s)^2 E = MC^2 ~= 1.0 kg *(3e8 m/s)^2 = 9e16 J Eric |
