Discover the simplicity of converting energy from tons of explosives to megawatt-hours with our intuitive t to MWh tool, designed to satisfy your curiosity and calculation needs.
A 'ton' in the context of explosives refers to the energy released by one ton (1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds) of TNT (trinitrotoluene) upon detonation. This unit is commonly used to quantify the energy of explosions and is a measure of the potential energy released as heat and work. The term 'ton' here is not a unit of mass but a unit of energy.
Definition of Megawatt-hourA megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one megawatt (1 MW) of power expended for one hour (1 h). It is used to measure electricity production or consumption over time in the electric power industry. One MWh is equal to 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) or 3.6 gigajoules, and it represents a considerable amount of energy for industrial or large-scale energy use.
| Ton Explosives (t) | Megawatt-hour (MWh) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 t | 0.00042 MWh |
| 0.5 t | 0.0021 MWh |
| 1 t | 0.0042 MWh |
| 5 t | 0.021 MWh |
| 10 t | 0.042 MWh |
| 50 t | 0.21 MWh |
| 100 t | 0.42 MWh |
| 500 t | 2.1 MWh |
| 1000 t | 4.2 MWh |
| 5000 t | 21 MWh |
1 t = 0.0042 MWh
100 t = 0.42 MWh
Example 1:
Convert 2 t of explosives to MWh:
2 t = 2 × 0.0042 MWh = 0.0084 MWh
Example 2:
Convert 250 t of explosives to MWh:
250 t = 250 × 0.0042 MWh = 1.05 MWh
The concept of converting tons of explosives into megawatt-hours is rooted in comparing the energy release of explosive materials, like TNT, with the energy consumption or production in electrical terms. This conversion helps in understanding the magnitude of energy in familiar electrical units.

Example 1: To convert 3 tons of explosives to MWh:
3 t = 3 × 0.0042 MWh = 0.0126 MWh
Example 2: To convert 6 tons of explosives to MWh:
6 t = 6 × 0.0042 MWh = 0.0252 MWh
