The nuclear equation was: (energy released: 18.35 MeV) The AMBAC technology in conjunction with the fictional fusion reactor developed by the character Dr. Y.T. Due to the strict driving speed limits enforced within space colonies, long trips are typically made using these linear cars. 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. This system yielded a higher operating speed than hydraulics, and lower weight and greater structural simplicity than electric motors. A cousin to the tail binder is the wing binder, equipped on most transformable mobile suits with waverider mode as wings. 0050, these space colonies are home to 80% of the human race. Originally intended for use inside thermonuclear reactors, this alloy's superb strength, durability, heat resistance and radiation-absorbing properties make it an ideal material for mobile suit armor. 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. Thus, an unlimited number of copies of the user's mind can be made, allowing for an immortality of will, if not consciousness as well. Only a handful of reckless pilots, like Char Aznable, Paptimus Scirocco and Haman Karn, are willing to forfeit the protection of the pilot suit in order to avoid this minor inconvenience. Ultracompact Minovsky Fusion Reactor 0 The normal suit includes life-support and communications equipment, and can be fitted with a vernier backpack for zero-gravity maneuvering. Cyclotron Power Core. E-cap technology appears outside of UC continuity in MS Saga: A New Dawn. A method of preserving one's personality and memories developed by the Jupiter Empire. This system uses an external power source - namely, a powerful laser - to heat a spacecraft's propellant. This became known as the "Minovsky Effect". 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. [14] Side 3's colonies are identical in size and shape to the Island 3 design, but doubled the habitable area by removing the large window strips of the Island 3.[15][16][17]. Thanks to this interference, warfare in the Universal Century era relies heavily on visual sensors, which can be tricked by inflatable decoys. The movable frame was a new concept in mobile suit construction introduced after the One Year War, it was first tested on the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II(though the GP series featured partial movable frame). 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. This has influenced later series to include their own reasoning to rationalize the existence of humanoid fighting vehicles. Thousands of fluid pipes, finer than human hairs, transmitted these pulses at supersonic speed to the rotary cylinders which drove the joints. When the funnels are not in use, they are attached to the mother suit's surface hardpoints for recharging. It emits high-energy Minovsky particles to form a blade-shaped I-field (via manipulation of electromagnetic fields), and then fills this I-field shell with superheated Minovsky particle plasma to produce an effective cutting blade. The Minovsky-Ionesco reactor was named after its fictional inventor. This makes the Dodai highly versatile, but also rather expensive. A compound weapon whot combine the functions of Muramasa Blaster and Peacock Smasher. It was handed from Phantom V2 Kai and used. This principle is used in the creation of the Minovsky craft system, which allowed a spaceship or heavy ground vehicle to "fly"/hover on Earth. They are equipped with a small beam cannon and an energy cell to propel the funnel when it is operating.

[Source] 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. 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 shelf nozzles installed on Crossbone Vanguard command mobile suits like the XM-04 Berga Dalas and XM-05 Berga Giros are examples of this external device concept. This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. The mantle could then be discarded once it loses all the ABC (thus the anti-beam protection). The Minovsky particles produced as a byproduct of the helium-3 fusion reaction were recycled to keep that reaction going. Without such a field, a pilot would be boiled alive in a few nanoseconds and the suit would burst into superheated gasses, thus explaining many of the series' casualties when the reactor of a mobile suit is pierced with a beam weapon powerful enough to disperse this I-field. 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. RX-105 Gundam which appeared in the same series also equipped the device, however it is fully integrated into its structure. Unlike an I-field generator, which is effective only against beam attacks, the beam shield blocks both beam and projectile weapons. The Flanagan Institute goes on to develop a mind-machine interface called the psycommu (psycho-communicator) system, which receives these thoughtwaves and translates them into computer commands. Due to this, the military use of Minovsky particles ushered in a new era of close-range combat. 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. Before you post please check to see if your content or 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. However, it had the same weakness as all other I-field Generators - the generators tend to overheat and thus force cooldowns. The process was first tested on the RX-78-3 "G-3" Gundam, then applied to the original RX-78-2 Gundam, later being added to all future Mobile Suits. This is the primary reason for the birth of the Zeon close-combat weapon: the mobile suit. The Mobile Suit Epoch Vol. [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]. Also, significant quantities of helium-3 were recently discovered on the moon, although there is certainly much more on Jupiter. 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. 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. Only if he or she connects with her may the systems true performance come out. The tail stabilator continues to be used on MS developed after U.C.0087, an example is the RGZ-91 Re-GZ. The AMBAC system coordinates movements and micro-movements precisely, allowing a continuous balance and stability without expending reaction mass. The semi-transparent coating is not useful in countering anything other than lasers, thus a new technology has to be developed. 0081 -The Wrath of Varuna-, Stampede: The Story of Professor Minovsky, Mobile Suit Gundam F91: Formula Report 0122. Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 3,980 kW Propulsion: . 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. 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. 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. Why? 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. While this could be done for space ships and naval ships, this ruled out the use of precision guided weapons, such as guided missiles. 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 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] 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. This process however leads to the side effect of gradual memory loss. Even in the Universal Century, it remains impossible to artificially nullify or generate gravity. However All Record Breaker units, their spare parts, and all data on the "wings of light" were lost. 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. [9] In the Cosmic Era time line, one of the authors of Gundam Century articles (while still a high school student at that time), Shigeru Morita, who had become a regular employee of Bandai, was assigned to write these kinds of technological articles, possibly a method used by the company to attract Universal Century techno fans to watch the new series. It is considered the trademark of Zeonic's famous MS-06 Zaku II. Instead, it uses a cubic lattice of Minovsky particles to push the vessel away from the Earth's surface. The main practical problem with this reaction is that helium-3 is extremely rare; there are few deposits on Earth, mainly found in uranium mines, and these are mostly depleted. This page deals with technology from the Universal Century timeline of the Gundam fictional universe meta-series. [4] A main part of the book surrounds the discussion on real-life technologies including space habitats and mass driver. 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. In addition to providing protection, the F91's armor also incorporates circuitry and cooling systems, allowing this highly compact mobile suit to make more efficient use of its limited internal space. The beam shield generates a plane of energy similar to the blade of a beam saber. 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. 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. While early mobile suits use solid-fuel motors for maneuvering, later models often use liquid-fuel rockets for better performance. While functionally similar to the psycommu system, the bio-computer places less strain on its human operator. 9.2 Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor 9.3 Energy capacitor (E-CAP) 9.4 Minovsky Craft System 10 Mobile Suit Technology - Unique control/interface systems 10.1 Psycommu System 10.2 Quasi-Psycommu System 10.3 Half Control System 10.4 Neo-Psycommu System 10.5 EXAM System 10.6 HADES 10.7 n_i_t_r_o System 10.8 Psyco-control system 10.9 Combat system Minovsky in his earlier days when he was serving the Earth Federation, was still a piece of black box technology and rendered him a heretic in the classical physics community (where classical in the Universal Century includes the modern physics of today).
