Once their propellant is exhausted, the sturm thruster units are detached and discarded as dead weight. They became a normal reference of the serial story and attracted publishers to publish books on them. The list of authors can be seen in the page history there. An electromagnetic catapult installed on the surface of a planet, moon, or other celestial body, which is used to accelerate objects to escape velocity. In the Universal Century (U.C.) This bio brain also develops Newtype abilities thanks to the combat data, as well as some aspects of Amuro's personality. 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. 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. 2.3 Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor; 2.4 Mega M-Particle; History. The Fin Funnel Barrier is a special force field that is powerful enough to not only stop beam weaponry, but also physical weaponry and is even able to trap units within it. Later, following the trend of militaristic and technological interest in the community, Gundam Sentinel Special Edition included a section called Imidam 0093 (Innovative Mobile Suit Information Dictionary, Annual Series, intentionally using an m at the end to reference Gundam), subtitled "Basic Knowledge of Gundam Mechanics". This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. 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. This design allowed for better energy efficiency, easier repair, maintenance, and modification of mobile suits, as well as increased maneuverability and fluidity of movements. 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. A shock-absorbing device which becomes a standard feature of mobile suit cockpits around U.C. This is the primary reason for the birth of the Zeon close-combat weapon: the mobile suit. Thanks to this interference, warfare in the Universal Century era relies heavily on visual sensors, which can be tricked by inflatable decoys. Since the proton is positively charged, it can easily be trapped within a magnetic field. 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". Another weakness is that the I-field generator has an operating limit. They are equipped with a small beam cannon and an energy cell to propel the funnel when it is operating. An advanced type of psycommu system developed by the Crossbone Vanguard commander known as Iron Mask, and installed in the mobile armor XMA-01 Rafflesia. The Mobile Suit Epoch Vol. You know that nuclear fission (normal conventional nuclear reactor) is different than nuclear fusion (limitless non-radioactive clean energy, literal a micro star) power. The power output of a mobile suit's generator, although far lower than that of a warship, is sufficient to complete this process and form mega particles. [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. For example, if we place a person in a micro-gravity environment where friction is negligible (i.e. [7][8] The first mass production mobile suit that adopted the linear seat was the RMS-106 Hizack. Binders are technological instruments that provide extra control for the AMBAC systems. Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, power output rating unknown Propulsion: unknown Performance: unknown Equipment and design features: sensors, range unknown Fixed armaments: 2 x beam saber, stored in recharge racks on backpack, hand-carried in use; 2 x vulcan gun, mounted in head Category:Cosmic Century Technology. The bio brain is an artificial mass of brain matter collected in glass cylinders, acting as a biological computer in which one can upload a copy of their personality and memories, without deleting those in the original brain. The multiple panels of the panoramic screen make up a single 360-degree display, which covers the entire inner surface of the spherical cockpit. Such alloys have very high tensile strength and toughness (even at extreme temperatures), light weight, extraordinary corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. Gundam Science, Gundam Century Renewal Version, ISBN / 4-87777-028-3, Kisousha, 15th Mar, 2000. The MS-11 Act Zaku, the first Zeon mobile suit to incorporate magnet coating technology, used field motors instead of the traditional fluid pulse system. These technologies first debuted in Gundam Century, written by fans at that time, later endorsed by Sunrise and Bandai, and some of the authors of the articles within Gundam Century became official editors and writers of Gundam mechanics. 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). This allowed the Pegasus-class to enter and exit earth's atmosphere and to fly while inside the atmosphere. These decoy balloons are designed to mimic mobile suits, asteroids, and even warships. Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor Armaments 2 x Head Vulcan Gun 2 x Beam Saber/Dagger System Features Armor Series Cyclops Phase Poseidon Phase Dryad Phase Magic Phase Optional Equipment Beam Machinegun Shield Armor Gundarium Alloy Appearance Storyline Mobile Suit Gundam: Fusion Vs. [Source] The shock balloon, an inflatable cushion similar to the airbags in modern automobiles, provides additional protection in the event of violent deceleration. Because of the way Minovsky particles react with other types of radiation, radar systems and long-range wireless communication systems become useless, infra-red signals are diffracted and their accuracy decreases, and visible light is fogged. On a small celestial body like Earth's moon, with low gravity and no atmosphere, objects can be launched into orbit by the mass driver alone, but objects launched from Earth still require a rocket booster to complete their ascent. A skilled pilot can use this crude device to deflect enemy attacks, but in the hands of a novice it's little more than dead weight, so designers sometimes opt to omit the shield and devote the equivalent mass to heavier armor for the mobile suit itself. meters62.992 ft 755.906 in Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor 1870 kW2,507.711 hp 16800 meters55,118.11 ft Pilot only (in panoramic monitor/linear seat cockpit in torso) Titanium Alloy Ceramic Composite 76600 kg168,874.045 lb 84.437 tons 0-4 x Beam Saber OR Grenade Launcher2 x Dummy Firing Port Beam RifleBeam Rifle (GM III's Corodal Carbon. This system could not be miniaturized to fit on a mobile suit until after U.C.0100. Huge space stations are constructed in Earth orbit to house the emigrants, and by U.C. 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. 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, the system has a number of flaws to it. The Minovsky particles produced as a byproduct of the helium-3 fusion reaction were recycled to keep that reaction going. The system made use of the wings' mobility for the transformation during mobile suit mode as AMBAC limbs and further increasing the number of limbs for the AMBAC system. A variant of the psycommu system, developed by Anaheim Electronics and experimentally installed in the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam in attempt to build a smaller-scale, more economical psycommu system. Notice in real life there is a similar experimental particle that could do the same thing in few thousandth of a second, which is still not practical but proves the theory to be correct. They have also influenced creations in other Animation series. However All Record Breaker units, their spare parts, and all data on the "wings of light" were lost. 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. Essentially, it was an inner frame that incorporated all the mobile suit's vital mechanisms, including the cockpit, the generator, and the actuators and control systems required for movement. The mono-eye is mounted on rails, and can slide back and forth to cover a wide field of view. Also, significant quantities of helium-3 were recently discovered on the moon, although there is certainly much more on Jupiter. These technologies are the basic reasoning for the Universal Century's having mobile suits as the main battle units, replacing space fighters. The Minovsky particle also interferes with the operations of electronic circuitry and destroys unprotected circuits due to the particles' high electrical charge which act like a continuous electromagnetic pulse on metal objects. If controlled, the particles can form fringes of different widths and further interfere with electromagnetic waves of shorter wavelengths. The Gaia Gear is powered by four Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor. Performance: unknown . During the One Year War, there were many cases of pilots being wounded in the cockpit while their mobile suits remained relatively intact. 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 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 disruption of electromagnetic radiation is due to the small lattice of the I-field creating fringes that long wavelengths cannot penetrate, and that diffract wavelengths that have similar distance with the fringes. The linear seat technology was invented to address this issue. Minovsky made mobile suits feasible. The balancers are placed all across the body of the mobile suit's frame, with primary systems being located in the limbs. Thanks to their increased generator output, the scaled-down mobile suits of this era are able to use beam technology for defensive purposes. Due to the various advantages of the movable frame, it soon become the standard mobile suit construction method during the Gryps War, and the obsolete monocoque and semi-monocoque construction was eventually phased out. [23], The only counter measure to the "M" particle in the series was to install bulky and expensive shielding on all electronic equipment, but only to counteract the effect it had on electronic circuitry. However, as the years went on, development into the I-field Generator would lead to interesting creations. 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. Doctor Minovsky went on to develop a functional thermonuclear fusion reactor. This ejection pod design proves effective and inexpensive, and soon becomes a standard feature. The viewpoint is that of the mobile suit's head, and the image is carefully edited to remove the mobile suit itself. When scattered in open space or in the air, the repulsive forces between charged Minovsky particles cause them to spontaneously align into a regular cubic lattice structure called an I-field. 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. It is considered the trademark of Zeonic's famous MS-06 Zaku II. It is a controversial system which seems to be similar to the earlier developed EXAM System. 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 Psycoframe is a powerful variation of the psycommu system. This process however leads to the side effect of gradual memory loss. It takes a strong pilot to use the system and even then the newtype girl maybe still against the pilot. 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. but it included more advanced technology like built-in Minovsky Flight Units. 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. 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. 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". An acronym for HYPER ANIMOSITY DETECT ESTIMATE SYSTEM. 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. The main use of the Minovsky particle was in combat and communication. The need for this process came as the higher-ups realized that, despite the RX-78-2 Gundam's amazingly continued performance, there was one major flaw to it - its pilot, Amuro Ray, whose Newtype abilities were overwhelming the unit. Strict speed limits are also enforced inside space colonies, so for longer trips, it's more convenient to travel via the colony's linear car system. Early beam rifles were either taken back to ships for recharging or simply discarded. Thousands of fluid pipes, finer than human hairs, transmitted these pulses at supersonic speed to the rotary cylinders which drove the joints. These units, mounted on the shoulders, allowed the Gundam to utilize a Flight Form. 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. A design concept conceived in the early UC 120s through the development of the Formula 91 Gundam. A system installed in the RX-78-2 Gundam, which pumps out air to counter the friction heat of atmospheric entry. While this could be done for space ships and naval ships, this ruled out the use of precision guided weapons, such as guided missiles. He aspired from his youngest memory to become a scientists. 0081 -The Wrath of Varuna-, Stampede: The Story of Professor Minovsky, Mobile Suit Gundam F91: Formula Report 0122. As a result, the unit performed well against more conventional mobile suits and showed superiority in manoeuvrability. Active Mass Balance Auto-Control (AMBAC) 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 as said in the Gundam Century and Gundam Officials. Cyclotron Power Core. 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. These are supplemented by infra-red and laser sensors for precision targeting. Designed as an anti-newtype system, the system however has the trapped soul of a young newtype girl who wishes to kill herself. AMBAC is by its nature limited to re-orienting the unit about its center of mass, and is not a substitute for propulsion. However, it should not be considered a complete brain clone of Amuro, as the bio brains of Dogatie and Callisto's Shadow were. 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].
