They also claim to measure every blast near residential areas when in fact that is not true.

We have contacted Dr’s Rigby and Clarke but unfortunately your question lies beyond their field of expertise. Apologies they could not be of assistance and thank you for your very interesting question.

Though they are rare, there are explosions that occur within some vented lead acid cells, that initially appear to have an unknown cause. But I think that we may have discovered part of the cause of the explosions.

During normal float charging these generate hydrogen and oxygen gasses, which are combustible, and if I understand correctly the volume of gas expands to a greater volume than when it is just the hydrogen and oxygen gasses.

Is there a formula that can be used to calculate the volume of the exploded gas. For example, if I have a one cubic centimeter of hydrogen oxygen gas, and it explodes, how large a volume of space will it displace? I am not even sure if I am asking this correctly but would appreciate any help possible.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for getting in touch with me via the futurum comments.

How close you need the monitoring to be done depend on how large the blast was. For volcanic eruptions, and large explosions like Beirut worldwide data can be used.
I’ve attached an open-access paper on the topic and have reached out to some of my colleagues about where the best seismic data can be found. Please see below.

Hope this helps.

Question. There was an explosion near Moscow March 2. I believe drone hit compressor station. I’m trying to find , and can’t, seismic activity for that area. Kolomna, Russia..Site of gazprom natural gas facility. I want to “ see” how much damage was done, before TASS makes a statement. Is there a site that I can monitor seismic activity, real time?
Thanks
