Two leaders of the Jupiter Empire, Crux Dogatie and Callisto's Shadow, upload their minds into bio brains, allowing them to continue fighting and piloting Mobile Suits even after the deaths of their physical bodies. Ultracompact Minovsky Fusion Reactor 0 These issues are addressed with the development of the energy capacitor, which makes it possible to create compact beam weapons with greatly reduced power and energy requirements. [24], Smaller versions of the mega particle cannon are presented in the series, the most famous being the Beam rifle used by the titular mobile suit RX-78 Gundam, which utilizes a technology called E-cap. The Gundam Wiki is a FANDOM Anime Community. The amount of thrust depends on the exhaust velocity and the rate at which propellant mass is consumed, and since the former factor is subject to strict technological constraints, mobile suits must carry large quantities of propellant to sustain them throughout extended battles. However, due to its nature of ablating when defending against great heat, ABC can only tolerate a few hits to the same spot. The newtype injection trace reformed oldtype System, a new Psycommu system installed in the MSN-001X Gundam Delta Kai that can grant Cyber Newtype abilities. At the same time Anaheim Electronics had scavenged the Minovsky Drive from the remains of the Mother Vanguard and used it do design their own mobile suit with a "wings of light" system. In the original Mobile Suit Gundam series, Char Aznable commented that the way to avoid a beam rifle is to avoid its being pointed at you. Although most units are equipped with beam shields already, the ABC mantle provides stealth compared to the brightly glowing beam shields, which renders the units a visible target. However, the high cost of both raw materials and processing limit their use to military applications, aircraft, spacecraft, medical devices, connecting rods on expensive sports cars and some premium sports equipment and consumer electronics.In the Universal Century, Titanium Alloy is used as the standard armor material for most mass-produced mobile suits. One of the earliest types of MS optical cameras, They are distinctive main sensors used by the mobile suits of the Principality of Zeon, which resembles the eye of a giant cyclops. This frame was completely separate from the sensors, thrusters, armor, weapons and propellant tanks. Developed by the Earth Federation's Newtype Labs, this system is first installed in the second unit of the MRX-009 Psyco Gundam, and is a standard feature of the MRX-010 Psyco Gundam Mark II. A system installed in the RX-78-2 Gundam, which pumps out air to counter the friction heat of atmospheric entry. The process has the joints of a suit coated with a special material that, when energized, repels the joints to the point where there is zero friction. A mind-machine interface, based on the psycommu system used by Newtype, which can be used even by normal humans. These space boats can hold more than a dozen passengers each, in addition to two pilots, and are equipped with handy manipulator arms. However, as the years went on, development into the I-field Generator would lead to interesting creations. While researcher (associate professor in the University of Tsukuba) and media artist Yoichi Ochiai viewed this in the science angle and said that even currently, if computers are not working right, things will get really weak, mixing in analogue in the machine is a correct choice and the setting is excellent. While this could be done for space ships and naval ships, this ruled out the use of precision guided weapons, such as guided missiles. A new type of control lever used in the mobile suits of the U.C. This page was last edited on 27 December 2022, at 21:27. Thanks to the effects of Minovsky particle interference, radar sensors are virtually useless in the battlefields of the Universal Century, and optical cameras are the primary means of detecting and targeting enemy vessels. Why? This is the primary reason for the birth of the Zeon close-combat weapon: the mobile suit. Another weakness is that the I-field generator has an operating limit. While functionally similar to the psycommu system, the bio-computer places less strain on its human operator. Technical specifications: + Pilot: Anna Hindenburg + Classification: Mass produced prototype Gundam- Special Operations Multipurpose Mobile suit + Height: 71.32 ft tall + Weight: 67.2 Tons + Developed From: MSZ-010 ZZ Gundam & RGM-96X Jesta + Armor material: Titanium alloy ceramic composite, and Gundarium alloy + This extra propellant greatly extends a mobile suit's operating range, and enables it to stay in combat longer. It can also protect the unit from laser attacks by the same principle. Mobile Suit Technology - Construction & Coating, Mobile Suit Technology - Defensive Systems, Mobile Suit Technology - Unique control/interface systems, Gundam Century renewal version acknowledgment, Dengeki Data Collection No.4 - Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Z Part 1, p.50-51, XM-X1 Crossbone Gundam X-1 Kai Kai "Skull Heart", MS-06R Zaku II High Mobility Type (Reuse "P" Device), https://www.itmedia.co.jp/lifestyle/articles/1203/22/news082.html. While on the Earth heat can be transferred to water or air, space is a vacuum which means the heat must be given off through radiation, an extremely slow process. A standard piece of mobile suit technology, the balancer, sometimes called balance controller or auto-balancer by different authors, is the device responsible for keeping a mobile suit upright. The list of authors can be seen in the page history there. These technological settings have also since influenced a lot of anime and manga to have their own technological background to a certain degree. However, the system has a number of flaws to it. Another bio brain is fed the combat data of Amuro Ray's RX-78-2 Gundam, which allows it to pilot the Amakusa with Amuro's skill. [4] A main part of the book surrounds the discussion on real-life technologies including space habitats and mass driver. A device that generates lift from shock waves like those produced during atmospheric entry. A Psychoframe can project a Psychofield, which can happen when two Psychoframes are near, this Psychofield is a space where the human consciousness can manipulate the world regardless of the laws of psychics. The Axis researchers develop an improved lightweight version called Gundarium Gamma, which is introduced in the RMS-099 Rick Dias and widely used throughout the Gryps Conflict. Dimensions: head height 23.0 meters Weight: empty 29.1 metric tons; max gross 65.4 metric tons Armor materials: Gundarium alloy Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 3,340 kW Propulsion: rocket thrusters: 80,000 kg total Performance: unknown Equipment and design features: sensors, range 19,300 meters Ochiai also mentioned the idea in his book "The Age of Magic" saying "The people using computers has a greater power of understanding", and admitted that this view is influenced by Newtype in Gundam.[13]. The Minovsky-Ionesco reactor was named after its fictional inventor. This diffraction and polarization process disrupts the electromagnetic waves. As described in the manga, Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam, and MS Encyclopedia 2003, in U.C.0133, the anti-beam coating mantle is used to provide easily restored protection against beam weapon attacks. This is the principle used in the space colonies, and smaller centrifugal devices are sometimes installed in spacecraft like the assault carrier White Base. The Day when Science will overtake Science Fiction. Titanium alloys are metallic materials which contain a mixture of titanium and other chemical elements. However, in March 2012, the life-sized Gundam statue at Gundam Front Tokyo was upgraded with sealed joint parts to represent having received magnet coating,[5] and sealed joints were later used to indicate the magnet coating upgrade in several Gunpla model kits, such as the Master Grade RX-78-2 Gundam 3.0. This super-efficient design was only a fifth as large as an equivalently powerful Minovsky-Ionesco reactor, allowing the reactor to be mounted within the mobile suit instead of an external backpack. However, the full latent potential of this system can only be tapped by a Newtype pilot. The nuclear equation was: The reactant used a rare isotope of helium known as helium-3 (i.e., 2 protons and 1 neutron in the nucleus). The technical term for a mobile suit's arm and hand. [19] The AMBAC system is a fundamental technology that allows for thrusterless manoeuvring in the zero-G environment of space by mobile suits by means of precise movement control of their limbs in the Gundam universe. Some variants of the tail stabilator are equipped with built-in vernier thrusters and can thus further improve a mobile suit's manoeuvrability. Instead of the conventional magnetic field, this improved version of the Minovsky-Ionesco reactor used an I-field to confine and compress the reactor fuel, triggering a fusion reaction. The AMBAC system also allows the center of mass to shift outside of the body. These technologies and their theory are now influential to factual academic research[citation needed]. Category:Cosmic Century Technology. The idea is simple: "If four limbs can manoeuvre the unit better than none, why not equip them with 5 or more?" An application of Minovsky physics, this system used the interaction of I-fields and Minovsky particles to achieve far lighter weight and higher output than an electric motor. Developed by Char Aznable's Neo-Zeon, the Psycoframe allowed a Mobile Suit to be controlled by a Newtype pilot as if it were an extension of their own body, giving it greater response time. The RX-77-3F was the highest-performance iteration & was comparable performance wise RGM-79SC GM Sniper Customs, incorporating lessons learned from all . Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 1,400 kW Propulsion: rocket thrusters: output unknown; Minovsky craft system: output unknown. Cyclotron Power Core. Add to Favourites. Applied Reactor Physics Technology The Gundam Wiki FANDOM powered by Wikia May 10th, 2018 - According to the timeline deduced by the Gundam Officials in UC 0071 Zeon researchers created the Minovsky ultracompact fusion reactor In the Mobile Suit Gundam Origin the technology was created by Professor Trenov Y Minovsky himself in U C 0074 for YMS . According to the Gundam Century, MS encyclopedia 2003 and Gundam Officials, the Minovsky Physics Society was formed in U.C.0045 at the space colony Side 3. Due to the strict driving speed limits enforced within space colonies, long trips are typically made using these linear cars. During the One Year War, the researchers of the Flanagan Institute discover that Newtypes emit powerful thoughtwaves - similar to regular brainwaves, but not electrical in nature - which they call psycho-waves. The Minovsky-Ionesco reactor was named after its fictional inventor. The Minovsky-Ionesco reactor was named after its fictional inventors, Dr. Y.T. [1] Although they are only fictional technologies, they form a base that of the Real Robot genre of anime originates from. Several years after the ship's destruction SNRI would take the Minovsky Drive and improve it, reducing the size and installing onto three mobile suits, the F99 Record Breaker, as the "wings of light". Minovsky and Dr. Ionesco. The main use of the Minovsky particle was in combat and communication. However, the system can be used to dodge incoming projectiles or small objects as the arms and legs of a mobile suit account for a significant portion of its total mass. Semi-transparent coating protect the unit by having multiple layers all reflecting a certain wavelength of light and thus effectively reduces the energy of different laser weapons. Before you post please check to see if your content or For this reason, it was adopted for use on mobile suits as the standard power plant. However, it had the same weakness as all other I-field Generators - the generators tend to overheat and thus force cooldowns. Numerous shock absorbers are installed throughout a mobile suit's body, and the linear floating seat where the pilot sits is itself mounted on an electromagnetic shock absorber. It is equipped with high-power thrusters that allow atmospheric flight under gravity for a short period of time. AMBAC is by its nature limited to re-orienting the unit about its center of mass, and is not a substitute for propulsion. Rather than sending and receiving data via thoughtwaves as in a true psycommu system, the quasi-psycommu system continually samples the pilot's electrical brainwaves, allowing the pilot to communicate specific instructions almost instantaneously. Most colonies in the Universal Century are O'Neill "Island 3" type colony cylinders, yet a few early built Bernal sphere (Island 1) and Stanford torus colonies are still in function, but most are changed to space stations or discarded. More by heavenly777protector Watch heavenly777protector Watch According to the official guide of Mobile Suit Gundam, Gundam Century and Gundam Officials, the Minovsky Physics Society, while working on the reactor, encountered a strange electromagnetic wave effect in U.C.0065 within the Minovsky-Ionesco reactor that could not be explained by conventional physics. In case of emergency, the inhabitants of a space colony can escape using small spacecraft stored in the colony's outer walls. This system uses an external power source - namely, a powerful laser - to heat a spacecraft's propellant. Category:Cosmic Era Eden Technology. While the X3 I-field acted like a normal I-field, it also had the added bonus of being able to let the Gundam grab beam sabers with its hands without destroying them. An optional accessory for the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II, which is subsequently developed into the binder on the back of the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam. This system was latter used by the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam. Under these conditions, the best alternative is to transmit data in the form of low-intensity laser pulses. It causes the Delta Kai to produce blue flames when activated. An attachment point for weapons, shields, spare ammunition, or optional mission-specific equipment. A compound weapon whot combine the functions of Muramasa Blaster and Peacock Smasher. Minovsky made mobile suits feasible. Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor, . Thanks to this interference, warfare in the Universal Century era relies heavily on visual sensors, which can be tricked by inflatable decoys. More sophisticated varieties are equipped with small maneuvering verniers, allowing them to move in a realistic manner and register on infra-red sensors. When the pilot grasps the spherical controller, he can use his fingers to operate the individual control switches, while moving the sphere itself to maneuver the mobile suit. 5.2Minovsky ultracompact fusion reactor 5.3Mega-particle cannon 5.3.1Beam smart gun 5.4Funnels 5.4.1Cultural influence 6Newtypes and related technologies 7Conventional weapons 8References 9Notes 10External links Toggle the table of contents Toggle the table of contents Gundam Universal Century technology 3 languages Italiano Edit links (Universal Century Science digest - From Space colonies to what Gundam can do). Another is the X3 I-field, a special, miniaturized I-field Generator built into the hands of the XM-X3 Crossbone Gundam X-3 and later the XM-X1 Crossbone Gundam X-1 Kai Kai "Skull Heart". According to the Gundam Officials and Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, the anti-beam coating (ABC) first came into testing on MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki. In addition to their main rocket engines, mobile suits and other spacecraft are also equipped with secondary rockets called vernier thrusters, derived from the "apogee kick motors" used to position artificial satellites into geosynchronous orbit around the Earth. An electromagnetic catapult installed on the surface of a planet, moon, or other celestial body, which is used to accelerate objects to escape velocity. The Minovsky-Ionesco reactor was named after its fictional inventors, Dr. Y.T. Instead, it uses a cubic lattice of Minovsky particles to push the vessel away from the Earth's surface. [18] Within the non-UC Gundam series, the AMBAC system term is also used in Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor Fixed Armaments Beam Vulcans (Mounted on head) GN Micro Missile x24 Heat Claw Palm Busters x2 Handheld Armaments Beam Magnum x1 Beam Saber x2 GN Linear Rifle Remote Armaments Assault Bits x5 Standard Equipment Bioscanner Bit Control System Full Psychoframe I-Field Generator GN Field Newtype Destroyer System 150K subscribers in the Gundam community. The visual data provided by the mono-eye is supplemented by ten or more secondary cameras, which are distributed around the exterior of the mobile suit. The Principality of Zeon was slow to make use of this principle and the only units equipped with Minovsky craft systems during the One Year War were the MAX-03 Adzam and the three prototype Apsalus mobile armours. MS Encyclopedia, ISBN / 4-89189-336-2, Bandai, 10th Feb, 1988. Instead of the conventional magnetic field, this improved version of the Minovsky-Ionesco reactor used an I-field to confine and compress the reactor fuel, triggering a fusion reaction. space), and ask him to place his left arm to his chest then swing it out to the side, the resulting inertia of the arm movement would result in the rest of his body turning the other direction in order to conserve angular momentum. Special Equipment & Features Phantom Mane The propulsion system based on the Minovsky Drive used by the Phantom. Since the proton is positively charged, it can easily be trapped within a magnetic field. Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor (Universal Century series) DHGCP power plant (Discontinuous Hyperoscillation Gauge Collapsing Pile) (Turn A series) Hyper-Deuterion Engine (SEED series) GN Drive/GN Drive Tau (00 series) Ahab Reactors (Iron-Blooded Orphans series) Etc. Although most can argue fictional technologies carry no real-life impact, these technologies are referred to in almost all of the series of Universal Century. The exposed power cables seen on some Zeon mobile suits, such as the Zaku II series, are part of the fluid pulse system, connecting the reactor to each joint. The wing binders concept was first utilized on MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki as a part of its transformation system, they were originally supposed to help the mobile suit move effectively even while it is in mobile armor form. This coating can absorb some of the energy from the mega-particles and hence reduce the damage. These are commuter trains which travel on rails along the outside of a space colony, running from station to station just like the underground rail systems of terrestrial cities. These devices house both propellant tanks and powerful rocket thrusters, enabling the mobile armor to accelerate rapidly on its way to the battlefield.
