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. This system is introduced during the One Year War and experimentally employed in the RX-78NT-1 Gundam "Alex", but it doesn't enter mass production until U.C. 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. [8] Bandai (with its branch Sunrise) noticed the tradition and has hired writers to write articles for other Gundam series too. This unlimited source of electricity supplies the power needed to run an MS' avionics and life support systems, as well as the actuators and motors control the MS' joints. 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. Each colony can support millions of people, and they're grouped into clusters called Sides, each made up of between 35 and 40 colonies and housing a billion or more people. 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. However, due to massive use of mega-particle/beam weapons and the necessity of developing an anti-beam armor, this technology is no longer a basic requirement on mobile weapons. Such alloys have very high tensile strength and toughness (even at extreme temperatures), light weight, extraordinary corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. The AMBAC system coordinates movements and micro-movements precisely, allowing a continuous balance and stability without expending reaction mass.

A new protective device used by the mobile suits of the U.C. Paptimus Scirocco's custom-made mobile suit PMX-003 The O is also equipped with this device as is Judau Ashta's MSZ-010 ZZ Gundam. In this approach, a variety of functions are incorporated into the mobile suit's armor layers. This provides the basis for the miniaturizing of fusion reactors installed in mobile suits since a controlled I-field can block the infra-red waves. Only one machine with the Reuse "P" was deployed late in the War, the MS-06R Zaku II High Mobility Type (Reuse "P" Device) in order to counter the advancement of the Moore Brotherhood. Nuclearlite Catalyst Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor Technology Information Manufacturer Neo-Zeon (based on recorded Laplace Theory) Chronological and Affiliation Universe Universal Century YC Appearance Storyline Universal Century: The Young Comet [Source] A new type of cockpit display, typically used in conjunction with a linear floating seat. These technological settings have also since then impacted a lot of anime and manga to have their own technological background to a certain degree[1]. More sophisticated varieties are equipped with small maneuvering verniers, allowing them to move in a realistic manner and register on infra-red sensors. but it included more advanced technology like built-in Minovsky Flight Units. [2], The latest robot technology in Japan is also influenced by Gundam, due to its fictional technologies' being highly adapted from real-world science,[11] and the Universal Century technologies including space colonies and mobile suits are also viewed academically as to what they can do in real life. A Newtype pilot is able to control these funnels with great precision via a psycommu system, allowing the user to conduct BVR attacks on a target from almost all directions without having to establish visual contact, making a funnel-equipped mobile suit extremely deadly. Binders are technological instruments that provide extra control for the AMBAC systems. 2, Sun in a box, Kofu Culture Imagine Publish, Inc., , Gundam "Weapons, Defensive measures" biography, PHP publication, Learn how and when to remove these template messages, Learn how and when to remove this template message, explain the fiction more clearly and provide non-fictional perspective, The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space, "Comparing Gundam Technology! A system in which electrical signals sent from the pilot's brain to the limbs are translated into commands for the machine for a higher quality of control. These form-fitting space suits provide a minimum of impediment to the pilot's movements. If controlled, the particles can form fringes of different widths and further interfere with electromagnetic waves of shorter wavelengths. During the One Year War, Zeon and Federation mobile suits utilized monocoque and semi-monocoque construction respectively, with machinery placed inside an armored "outer shell" akin to an exoskeleton. Although its full capabilities are unknown, its primary purpose was to allow a Newtype pilot to more easily interface with his mobile suit via mental commands. It is the device that enables the machine the ability to walk like a human being. When this propellant is discharged through the rocket nozzles, it creates a counter-force in the opposite direction, generating thrust. In this mechanism, fuel pellets composed of deuterium and helium-3 are bombarded by powerful lasers or particle beams, creating a series of tiny fusion explosions. These technological settings have also since influenced a lot of anime and manga to have their own technological background to a certain degree. The system is similar in principle to the momentum wheel system used in present-day satellites, though obviously more complex and allows the centre of mass move outside of the unit.[22]. Once their propellant is exhausted, the sturm thruster units are detached and discarded as dead weight. The contact link is an alternative means of short-range voice communication. [12], During the Tokyo International Film Festival 2015, Tomino first saw Minovsky particles as a dramatic device, "Because destroying enemies on the other side of Earth with missiles would not be dramatic, to make people meet and fight in space, ranged weapons have to be rendered useless." When the Minovsky particle is spread in large numbers in the open air or in open space, the particles disrupt low-frequency electromagnetic radiation, such as microwaves and radio waves. Also, significant quantities of helium-3 were recently discovered on the moon, although there is certainly much more on Jupiter. The joints of Zeon mobile suits are driven by a fluid pulse system, which used a pulse converter to turn the energy produced by the atomic reactor into pulses of pressure within a fluid. Its most ironic flaw is that, because of the massive stress to gives its pilots, a Newtype is the best pilot for the unit. However, it is not as effective as the later anti-beam coating, and the armour will still be damaged if the beam weapon is fired in close range or has a high enough power. This ejection pod design proves effective and inexpensive, and soon becomes a standard feature. Even if the unit used them generators one at a time, there was still a window of opportunity for others to utilize. However, since these devices are unable to survive the explosion of a mobile suit's main reactor, research continues into the core block system and other escape mechanisms. This was shown when Amuro, emotionally charged because of his fight with Char, overloaded the Nu Gundam, causing it to explode in a burst of light, yet using that power to tether the falling piece of Axis to the other half and pull it away from the Earth. A compound weapon whot combine the functions of Muramasa Blaster and Peacock Smasher. , Science, Mystery? Using this mind-machine interface, Iron Mask can operate the Rafflesia via thought alone, without the use of any conventional levers, pedals, or manual controls. An external tank is used for propellant storage. The AMBAC technology in conjunction with the fictional fusion reactor developed by the character Dr. Y.T. Cyclotron Power Core. Within the next few years, they identified the cause: a new elementary particle generated by the helium-3 reaction on the inner wall of the reactor, which was named the Minovsky particle or "M" particle. In the world of the Universal Century, communication between ships, mobile suits, and the like is greatly complicated by the widespread use of Minovsky particles. Thus, they are immune to effects of N-jammers, as fusion reactors lack free neutron to disrupt! [9] Some older mobile suits, such as the RGM-79SC GM Sniper Custom, were also refitted with linear seats by the time of the Gryps War.[10]. 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. However, due to its nature of ablating when defending against great heat, ABC can only tolerate a few hits to the same spot. Mobile suits performing AMBAC motions would presumably move similarly to present-day astronauts performing extra-vehicular activity: both typically having roughly similar body structure, their use of that mass to control their rotation would presumably be similar, even if calculated by different means. Since it is made up of charged particles, the I-field is unable to penetrate metal, water, the Earth's surface, or other electrically conductive materials and can be shaped simply by trapping it in an electromagnetic field. The semi-transparent coating is not useful in countering anything other than lasers, thus a new technology has to be developed. It is a controversial system which seems to be similar to the earlier developed EXAM System. Not wanting his rival Amuro Ray to be left with an unsatisfactory unit for their final fight, Char leaked the plans to Anaheim and allowed it to be used for the RX-93 Gundam. In U.C. A cousin to the tail binder is the wing binder, equipped on most transformable mobile suits with waverider mode as wings. Rather than merely displaying data on a computer monitor, the bio-computer can relay it directly to the pilot in the form of sensory information, so what the machine "feels" can also be experienced by the human operator. Doctor Minovsky went on to develop a functional thermonuclear fusion reactor. However, they are vulnerable to weapon fire, as Kacricon Cooler (And many other pilots both AEUG and Titan) later found out the hard way that his ballute was set on auto-leaving him vulnerable; Kamille Bidan took advantage of this and shot at it. When Minovsky particles are released into the air or into open space, the positive and negative particles spontaneously align themselves into a three-dimensional cubic lattice. This is the principle used in the space colonies, and smaller centrifugal devices are sometimes installed in spacecraft like the assault carrier White Base. Akin to the EXAM system's aggression and tendency to go berserk, the HADES can activate without the pilot's consent when it detects a perceived threat, regardless of it being an ally or foe. This arrangement is highly effective for judging distances and three-dimensional positions in space, and its performance is many times better than that of the mono-eye used in the Principality of Zeon's mobile suits.

Most of the early mobile suits used during the One Year War lack emergency escape mechanisms. 0090. 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. Bandai (with its branch Sunrise) noticed the tradition and has hired writers to write articles for other Gundam series, too. 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. [4] A main part of the book surrounds the discussion on real-life technologies including space habitats and mass driver. It is often used in conjunction with the propulsion system to quickly turn the unit and shorten aiming speed as well as directing the main thrusters. Besides being mounted on transformable mobile suit, it is also used by non-transforming units such as PMX-003 The O. [5] Gundam Officials has collected this information and has presented it along with plot history and character summaries in an encyclopedic form, and MS Encyclopedia 2003 has a short technical summary of these technologies in its first section before going into the lists of mobile weapons in different series, which earlier editions only have. He aspired from his youngest memory to become a scientists. At the same time, high-end models fielded by League Militaire such as V Gundam and V2 Gundam, have equipped an improved version of the Minovsky craft system called the Minovsky flight system. This device can also be used to establish a contact link for voice communication. The Minovsky particles produced as a byproduct of the helium-3 fusion reaction were recycled to keep that reaction going. The system works by using the Psycoframe built within its body to seek out Newtype brainwaves. The technology coats multiple layers of high specific heat capacity material on top of the armour that evaporates in high temperature. Powerplant: 4 x Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 35,000 kW each Propulsion: rocket thrusters: 580,000 kg total Equipment and design features: sensors, range 134,000 meters; 2 x I-field beam-deflecting barrier generator AMBAC is by its nature limited to re-orienting the unit about its center of mass, and is not a substitute for propulsion. The technical term for a mobile suit's arm and hand. 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. It was also used before and early in the One Year War as an effective armour coating to defend against laser weapons. 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. For this reason, it was adopted for use on mobile suits as the standard power plant. Thanks to their increased generator output, the scaled-down mobile suits of this era are able to use beam technology for defensive purposes. While a normal aircraft obtains lift from the difference in airflow speed between the upper and lower surfaces of its wings, a wave rider flying at supersonic speeds concentrates the shock waves under its lower surface and obtains lift from the resulting pressure, essentially riding on these shock waves. (May, 2006, 11th edition). Also allows the user to use wire-guided weapons. A mind control system installed in the MRX-009 Psyco Gundam, which compels its cyber-Newtype pilot to fight in battle. Elpeo Ple has at least eleven such clones, such as Ple Two and Marida Cruz, and Char Aznable served as the basis for Full Frontal, who was genetically modified to resemble Char rather than born with an identical genome. When mobile suits come into direct physical contact with each other, or with other vehicles, sound can be transmitted between them via vibrations in their outer armor. Ultracompact Minovsky Fusion Reactor 0 Special Equipment & Features Phantom Mane The propulsion system based on the Minovsky Drive used by the Phantom. Power Source: Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor Armor Material: Gundarium Alloy Pilot Accommodations: Pilot only (in panoramic monitor/linear seat cockpit in torso) Manufacturer: Anaheim Electronics Operator: [REDACTED] Weapons: - 2x 60mm Vulcan Gun: Head-mounted projectile weaponry that is utilized against missiles and light-armored vehicles. They have also influenced creations in other Animation series. Performance: unknown . This reactor was "radical" due to the fact that it was the first "clean" nuclear reactor, emitting zero neutron radiation. Digest, , Takarajima sha. Perfect Grade, Master Grade, High Grade Model Instruction Manual, Bandai. The viewpoint is that of the mobile suit's head, and the image is carefully edited to remove the mobile suit itself. 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]. Name: MSN-04 Sazabi Origin: Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack Pilot: Char Aznable Height: 25.6 meters (overall height), 23 meters (head height) Weight: 71.2 metric tons (max weight), 30.5 metric tons (standard weight) Powered By: Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor Destructive Capacity: Town level+ with beam weaponry (at least 83 kilotons), multi city block level with missiles This allowed the Pegasus-class to enter and exit earth's atmosphere and to fly while inside the atmosphere. Due to this, the military use of Minovsky particles ushered in a new era of close-range combat. (Universal Century Science digest - From Space colonies to what Gundam can do). Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor, . 69 votes, 17 comments. A mind-machine interface, based on the psycommu system used by Newtype, which can be used even by normal humans. When the Minovsky particle is spread in large numbers in the open air or in open space, the particles disrupt low-frequency electromagnetic radiation, such as microwaves and radio waves. This page was last edited on 27 December 2022, at 21:27. Hardpoints can also be used to store carried weapons when a mobile suit needs its manipulators free for other purposes, or when a transformable mobile suit changes into its mobile armor form. Since the proton is positively charged, it can easily be trapped within a magnetic field. A detachable booster that can be installed on mobile suits and mobile armors. The Gundam Wiki is a FANDOM Anime Community. When the Hyaku Shiki's transformation system fails, the mobile suit was retooled into a non-transformable unit and the wing binders were kept as they can serve as additional AMBAC limbs. The first MS equipping such a device is RX-104FF Penelope from Hathaway's Flash, which is comprised of the RX-104 Odysseus Gundam combined with its Fixed Flight support unit. Each reactor is even further miniaturized A Ata Geta 617 followers More information Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 3,980 kW Propulsion: . propellant tank. 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.
