Or pressure times volume.
For the lost sub, we are talking about a few cubic metres at a pressure of 330 atmospheres (33 MPa) or so.
Something like A few hundred MJ
The energy released by burning roughly a gallon of diesel.
The clever bit is the speed of release of the energy.
The power is phenomenal.
The implosion might have been as short as a millisecond.
That puts the power in the 100 GW range.
Roughly the same power as the UK electricity supply.
