In the Universal Century era, most of Earth's electricity supply is provided by solar power stations placed in a satellite orbit around the planet. 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. Gundam and World War II, Doitsu Suzuki, Kosaido Shuppan. 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. 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. Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor Armaments Beam Saber/Beam Gun x 2 Mega Machine Cannon x 2 System Features Minovsky Flight System Core Block System Psyco-Frame Cockpit I-Field Generator x 2 Optional Equipment Variable Speed Beam Smart Rifle (VSBSR) "Jitte" Beam Saber Blocking Unit Composite Shield Hyper Bazooka 10 x Funnel Missile In addition to an optical camera, this compound device also incorporates laser and infra-red sensors for precision targeting. The flying armor functions as a wave rider, allowing the Gundam Mk-II to enter Earth's atmosphere from orbit, and also serves as a hovercraft once it reaches the ground. Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor: : Pilot Only, Cockpit on Chest: : Nanomachine Infused Gundanium Alloy: ; : Relum Dominatus; Field Imperium; Deus ex Machina (Imperator and Centurio Tria only) ; (Centurio) Blade Luminarium; Launcher Geminus (Centurio Auxilius) 3 x Wing Unit Blade Luminarium . The mono-eye is mounted on rails, and can slide back and forth to cover a wide field of view. The Psycoframe is a powerful variation of the psycommu system. This reactor was "radical" because it was the first "clean" nuclear reactor, emitting zero neutron radiation. The balancers are placed all across the body of the mobile suit's frame, with primary systems being located in the limbs. According to the Gundam Century, MS encyclopedia 2003 and Gundam Officials, the Minovsky Physics all started from the invention of the then seemingly impossible idea of a nuclear fusion reactor that has a higher theoretical efficiency than classical physics, due to the Minovsky particle.

Marasai equips itself with Gundarium Alloy armor that improves overall defense, more excellent sensor range, more significant acceleration, and a more powerful Minovsky-type ultracompact fusion reactor. The main use of the Minovsky particle was in combat and communication. Minovsky made mobile suits feasible. Dimensions: head height 23.0 meters Weight: empty 23.6 metric tons; max gross 52.4 metric tons Armor materials: Gundarium alloy Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 3,340 kW Propulsion: rocket thrusters: 56,000 kg total Performance: unknown Equipment and design features: sensors, range 19,300 meters Gundam Science, Gundam Century Renewal Version, ISBN / 4-87777-028-3, Kisousha, 15th Mar, 2000. CP-01 Buster Sword (Newtype Series) Creation Particle Research (Newtype Series) Creation Particles Research (GS:E) Crystal Field Generator. Due to the strict driving speed limits enforced within space colonies, long trips are typically made using these linear cars. Welcome to r/Gundam! 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. [20][21] AMBAC works by leveraging Isaac Newton's Third Law of Motion (when there's an action there is an equal and opposite reaction) with regard to inertia to effect changes in direction. An I-field lattice will slowly expand and scatter into space; however, after dense interference it will take approximately 29 days before the region can support normal electromagnetic communication again. Furthermore, Minovsky also developed the Fluid Pulse system, which utlized the Minovsky Particles to drive the Mobile Suit's system, which allows active attitude control possible. For example, if we place a person in a micro-gravity environment where friction is negligible (i.e. After the One Year War, the material is further refined by renegade Principality of Zeon soldiers at the asteroid base Axisand later given to Anaheim Electronics. It was handed from Phantom V2 Kai and used. 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. The word Newtype (, Nytaipu) first came into being when Zeon Zum Deikun, the fictional character, founder of the space colony-based Principality of Zeon, created his philosophy: mankind was destined to leave the Earth for space, where they would experience a cognitive shift, and evolve into a kind of superhuman called the Newtype. The viewpoint is that of the mobile suit's head, and the image is carefully edited to remove the mobile suit itself. Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 4,050 kW Propulsion: rocket thrusters: 168,000 kg total Performance: unknown Equipment and design features: sensors, range unknown; psycommu or quasi-psycommu system; FF (Fixed Flight) Unit, includes Minovsky Flight Unit, can generate beam barrier This mechanism has far better fuel efficiency than a thermonuclear rocket engine or a chemical rocket, but due to its relatively low thrust it's best suited for massive, slow-moving objects such as the asteroid Axis. 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. A new type of motor used to drive the joints of Federation mobile suits. A mind control system installed in the MRX-009 Psyco Gundam, which compels its cyber-Newtype pilot to fight in battle. Should one be found, the NT-D System activates and turns the Unicorn Gundam into its "Destroy mode", improving its stats overall and allowing it to take control of Newtype weaponry used by others and turn them against them. Computer control system that takes over some of the basic tasks that a pilot normally does, and allows him or her to focus on other tasks. Instead, it uses a cubic lattice of Minovsky particles to push the vessel away from the Earth's surface. A deception device that takes advantage of Minovsky particle interference. Then when the motion of the arm stopped, the rotation of the body would also stop. Ultracompact Minovsky Fusion Reactor 0 The Principality forces based at the asteroid Axis succeed in miniaturizing the psycommu system, so that it can be installed in regular-sized mobile suits like the AMX-004 Qubeley. 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] This reactor was "radical" due to the fact that it was the first "clean" nuclear reactor, emitting zero neutron radiation. While this could be done for space ships and naval ships, this ruled out the use of precision guided weapons, such as guided missiles. The NRX-055 Baund Doc appears to be equipped with a similar device. It takes a strong pilot to use the system and even then the newtype girl maybe still against the pilot. Infra-red sensors can be used for long-range enemy detection. 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 mobile suit can reach out with its manipulator to establish the link, and these sound vibrations can also be relayed through wires, including the wire-guns used by human workers. He aspired from his youngest memory to become a scientists. The Mobile Suit Epoch Vol. 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 Most of the early mobile suits used during the One Year War lack emergency escape mechanisms. Minovsky and Dr. Ionesco. During the Gryps Conflict, they are often unmanned models controlled by the mobile suit itself, but later versions are equipped with cockpits so that they can also be used as transport craft. According to the timeline deduced by the Gundam Officials, in UC 0071, Zeon researchers created the Minovsky ultracompact fusion reactor. These Sub Flight Systems, or sled, come in both atmospheric and space versions. The assault carrier Albion is one of the few military vessels designed to use this system. During the One Year War, there were many cases of pilots being wounded in the cockpit while their mobile suits remained relatively intact. The RMS-106 Hizack, a Federation mobile suit that incorporated Zeon technology, used a fluid pulse/field motor hybrid system. A device that generates lift from shock waves like those produced during atmospheric entry. Due to internal space limitations, some mobile suits carry additional propellant in external The contact link is an alternative means of short-range voice communication. During the Zanscare War of the U.C.0150s, mobile suits deployed on Earth by Zanscare Empire used beam rotor (which could also be used as a beam shield or a rotary saw) to achieve long-distance atmospheric flight. In the closed environment of a space colony or lunar city, atmospheric pollution must be kept to an absolute minimum, so electric cars (often shortened to "elecar") are used for personal transportation. , Science, Mystery? The Gaia Gear is powered by four Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor. 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. This coating can absorb some of the energy from the mega-particles and hence reduce the damage. It provides a type of sacrificial protection against any type of beam weapon. During the events of mobile suit Zeta Gundam; when the AEUG were making a drop on Jaburo, their mobile suits used balloon like devices called ballutes to slow their decent down and prevent burning up. 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. Even in the Universal Century, it remains impossible to artificially nullify or generate gravity. AMBAC works by leveraging Isaac Newton's Third Law of Motion (When there's an action there is an equal and opposite reaction) with regard to inertia to effect changes in direction. The Mobile Suit Epoch Vol. This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. This reactor, although designed by Dr. T.Y. To fix this, the Magnet Coating process was created. [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. Gundam Officials has collected these information and has presented them alone 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. Designed by the scientific team of Zeon's Living Dead Division, the Reuse "P" Device was meant to improve the performance of soldiers significantly injured during the One Year War. An I-field is used to deflect enemy mega particle beams. This device sprays a sticky sealant (also known as "birdlime"), similar to the wall film used to mend breaches in warship hulls. This frame was completely separate from the sensors, thrusters, armor, weapons and propellant tanks. The mobile suit does not need to spend much energy to compress the Minovsky particles; instead, most of the compression was done by the mother-ship and the mobile suit only needed to provide minimum energy for triggering the final degeneration energy.[16][17][26]. 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. 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. If controlled, the particles can form fringes of different widths and further interfere with electromagnetic waves of shorter wavelengths. propellant tank. [1] Although they are only fictional technologies, they form a base that of the Real Robot genre of anime originates from. Despite being set in the distant future, the Universal Century has several takes on modern weapons such as the twin gunned Type 61 main battle tank that bears a striking resemblance to the Israeli Merkava, the "Calt" M-72A1 assault rifle that is near identical to the British L-85, anti mobile suit weapons reminiscent of the BGM-71 TOW and Kornet, and even light utility vehicles similar to World War II era Jeeps. 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. Due to this, the military use of Minovsky particles ushered in a new era of close-range combat. A lightweight type of normal suit designed for combat pilots. The nuclear equation was: This is essentially the same equation as used in classical physics, with the addition of the fictional Minovsky particle as a catalyst, instead of a muon. [3] In the Cosmic Era timeline, one of the authors of Gundam Century articles (while still a high school student at that time), Shigeru Morita, who had became a regular employee of Bandai, was assigned to write these kind of technological articles, possibly a method used by the company to attract Universal Century techno fans to watch the new series.[4]. The Minovsky-Ionesco reactor was named after its fictional inventors, Dr. Y.T. 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. The E-CAP stores Minovsky particles in a compressed, high-energy state, just short of fusing into mega particles. The tail binder is also seen on later models of military aircraft and space fighters in U.C.0088, on the FF-08 Wyvern.[22]. This allowed the Pegasus-class to enter and exit earth's atmosphere and to fly while inside the atmosphere. The wire-gun launches a powerful magnet attached to a wire cable, which anchors the user in place and can be rewound to pull him to his destination. This principle is used in the flying armor employed by the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II, and in the transforming MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam. The protons and helium ions produced by these fusion reactions can then be directed by a magnetic field to generate thrust. In case of emergency, the inhabitants of a space colony can escape using small spacecraft stored in the colony's outer walls. When in direct physical contact, it's also possible to communicate via a contact link. Often in conflict with the program the system will cause the mobile weapon to go berserk and kill both enemy and friends alike. 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. 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.
