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 This super-efficient design was only a fifth as large as an equivalently powerful Minovsky-Ionesco reactor; for this reason, it was adopted for use on mobile suits as the standard power plant. Propellant is the reaction mass used in the rocket engines of mobile suits and other spacecraft. 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. 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. This system is used to deliver resources mined from the lunar surface to the Lagrange points, where they can be used for space colony construction. 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. Thanks to his massive intellect and high . 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. MAHQ has the line art of the weapons for most of the Mobile Suits. The Minovsky particle has near-zero rest mass - though, like any particle, its mass increases to reflect its potential or kinetic energy - and can carry either a positive or negative electrical charge. 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 allowed the Pegasus-class to enter and exit earth's atmosphere and to fly while inside the atmosphere. 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. 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. Known Pilots Gabriel Gilbert Technical Specifications Height 21.4 meters Power Plant Nuclearlite Catalyst Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor Fixed Armaments Double Beam Machine-gun x 2 (located in Mobile Suite Wrists) Small Beam Cutter x 2 (located on Elbows) Handheld Armaments Beam Pistol/Beam Rifle (stored in racks on lower back) The NRX-055 Baund Doc appears to be equipped with a similar device. [6], Although fictional technologies seems to carry no real-life significance, these technologies are referred to in almost all of the series of Universal Century. [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. The beam shield generates a plane of energy similar to the blade of a beam saber. This diffraction and polarization process disrupts the electromagnetic waves. Electricity can be obtained directly from the reactor core via magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), and the heat emitted by the reactor can also be converted to electrical power using turbines. A deception device that takes advantage of Minovsky particle interference. [4] A main part of the book surrounds the discussion on real-life technologies including space habitats and mass driver. 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. Although Minovsky particle interference does have some effect at infra-red wavelengths, enemy warships and mobile armors still register as heat sources. 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. A helium-3 atom is fused with a deuterium atom (heavy hydrogen) to form the stable helium-4 and a single proton. Category:Cosmic Century Technology. Anaheim Electronics had since then installed wing binders on the back of most of the mobile suits of the same series under Project Zeta, most notably the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam. 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. 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. A compound weapon whot combine the functions of Muramasa Blaster and Peacock Smasher. [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. An I-field generator consumes a large amount of energy and overheats in around 15-20 minutes. 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. These are supplemented by infra-red and laser sensors for precision targeting. This frame was completely separate from the sensors, thrusters, armor, weapons and propellant tanks. However, due to its nature of ablating when defending against great heat, ABC can only tolerate a few hits to the same spot. 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". The device detects and amplifies the user's brainwaves, and a sophisticated computer system enables the user to manipulate weapons by using their mind. 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. After the war, when the linear floating seat and 360-degree panoramic screen become standard equipment, this problem is addressed by turning the entire cockpit assembly into a spherical escape pod which can be ejected in emergencies. It is the device that enables the machine the ability to walk like a human being. This allows a Newtype pilot to control the mobile suit as if it were his/her own body. It can also protect the unit from laser attacks by the same principle. They have also influenced creations in other Animation series. A detachable booster that can be installed on mobile suits and mobile armors. A design concept conceived in the early UC 120s through the development of the Formula 91 Gundam. 2.3 Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor; 2.4 Mega M-Particle; History. This device automatically adjusts to the terrain the mobile suit is walking along in. Written by mechanical designer Katoki Hajime, summarized both in- and out-of-universe technologies of the Universal Century, sourcing from Gundam Century, Gun Sight, VF-1 Valkyrie, MS Graphical Guide 1~3, MSV Technical & History 1~3. It is a controversial system which seems to be similar to the earlier developed EXAM System. Categories In both cases, the clones seem to have an enhanced receptivity to the Newtype thoughtwaves of the original, particularly after the originals' deaths. 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. 0050, these space colonies are home to 80% of the human race. These space boats can hold more than a dozen passengers each, in addition to two pilots, and are equipped with handy manipulator arms. Thus, they are immune to effects of N-jammers, as fusion reactors lack free neutron to disrupt! During the One Year War, there were many cases of pilots being wounded in the cockpit while their mobile suits remained relatively intact. The machine was codenamed "Icarus" by SNRI who observed the machine fall into the atmosphere of Earth, but it was later discovered that the mobile suit had used its "wings of light" as a shield to protect itself during reentry. Another weakness is that the I-field generator has an operating limit. The Minovsky-Ionesco reactor was named after its fictional inventor. Category:Cosmic Era Eden Technology. These devices house both propellant tanks and powerful rocket thrusters, enabling the mobile armor to accelerate rapidly on its way to the battlefield. Then when the motion of the arm stopped, the rotation of the body would also stop. AMBAC is by its nature limited to re-orienting the unit about its center of mass, and is not a substitute for propulsion. 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. 150K subscribers in the Gundam community. An attachment point for weapons, shields, spare ammunition, or optional mission-specific equipment. 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 JEF would travel from Earth to Jupiter, which has a high level of helium-3 in its atmosphere, and then come back to Earth with the gas fuel. 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. The Minovsky particles produced as a byproduct of the helium-3 fusion reaction were recycled to keep that reaction going. 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. When the funnels are not in use, they are attached to the mother suit's surface hardpoints for recharging. The balancers are placed all across the body of the mobile suit's frame, with primary systems being located in the limbs. The new DACS (Divert & Attitude Control System) created by the Japan Self-Defense Forces in December, 2006 was quoted as an attempt to create a funnel system in real life by Gizmodo Japan.[27]. [2], Universal Century technology debuted in Gundam Century, written by editors, academy and studios hired by Out magazine at that time,[3] later part of the book was endorsed by Sunrise and Bandai, and some of the authors of the articles within Gundam Century became official editors and writers of Gundam mechanics. 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. 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. 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 They became a normal reference of the serial story and attracted publishers to publish books on them. When this propellant is discharged through the rocket nozzles, it creates a counter-force in the opposite direction, generating thrust. Funnels are essentially funnel-shaped drone units that are designed to be remotely controlled by a Newtype pilot. It is said that this type of control lever was actually much more simplistic to use over the switches and computers used by past Mobile Suits. 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 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. 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 . Performance: unknown . Upon reaching its destination, the mass driver's payload can be collected by a giant net known as a mass catcher. Other Newtype technologies are the Bio-Sensor system, the Quasi-psycommu system, the Neo-psycommu system, the Bio-computer, the EXAM System, the Angel Halo fortress, and the NT-D system. A mind-machine interface, based on the psycommu system used by Newtype, which can be used even by normal humans. The E-CAP stores Minovsky particles in a compressed, high-energy state, just short of fusing into mega particles. 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. Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor, . A system installed in the RX-78-2 Gundam, which pumps out air to counter the friction heat of atmospheric entry. Its most ironic flaw is that, because of the massive stress to gives its pilots, a Newtype is the best pilot for the unit. In U.C. The mobile suit's internal cooling systems must also be engaged to deal with the heat that penetrates the air field. The idea is simple the ABC is applied on a piece of cloth instead of the unit itself. The linear rail contains actuators, which are controlled by a computer to mitigate the g-force from acceleration and impact. As Newtypes began to grow in number during and following the One Year War, the psycommu (psychic communicator) system was invented, which allowed these Newtypes to control wireless weapons known as bits and funnels, and even mobile suits, through thought alone. 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". 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. These units, mounted on the shoulders, allowed the Gundam to utilize a Flight Form. [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." More sophisticated varieties are equipped with small maneuvering verniers, allowing them to move in a realistic manner and register on infra-red sensors. The idea is simple: "If four limbs can maneuver the unit better than none, why not equip them with 5 or more?" The fin nozzles, which project laterally from the Vigna Ghina's backpack, are connected directly to the mobile suit's generator for better energy transmission efficiency. An I-field is used to deflect enemy mega particle beams. These form-fitting space suits provide a minimum of impediment to the pilot's movements. The resulting advancement is the tail binder. 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.
