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 . OPERATOR: Principality of Zeon 603 Technical Evaluation Unit Mass-Divers The mobile suit was originally conceived of as a powered space suit to extend the human operator's own capabilities, and the term "manipulator" is inherited from the artificial arms used in powered suits. 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. 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. Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 3,980 kW Propulsion: . 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. [7] Although it could be viewed as following the Star Wars trend, nothing similar has started before the 1981 publishing of Gundam Century. By doing this, a Mobile Suit's reaction time is increased by 20-30%. 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. 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. 0090 era. A new type of control lever used in the mobile suits of the U.C. 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. Main article: CloneSome individuals in the Universal Century are artificially-produced, genetically identical (or nearly identical) copies of others. Besides being mounted on transformable mobile suit, it is also used by non-transforming units such as PMX-003 The O. The balloon emerges from the cockpit's console panel at the moment of impact, and then immediately deflates again. 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. When these particles are scattered in high densities, they render radio communication impossible. 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. 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. 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 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. The beam shield generates a plane of energy similar to the blade of a beam saber. 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. Often in conflict with the program the system will cause the mobile weapon to go berserk and kill both enemy and friends alike. Upon reaching its destination, the mass driver's payload can be collected by a giant net known as a mass catcher. [6], Prototypes for the linear seat were installed in the RX-78NT-1 Gundam "Alex" and the RX-78GP03S Gundam "Stamen". However, with the introduction of the beam rifle that makes conventional armor almost useless, designers begin reducing their mobile suits' armor to improve their maneuverability and agility, eventually leading to the movable frame. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. In U.C. For this reason, it was adopted for use on mobile suits as the standard power plant. This frame was completely separate from the sensors, thrusters, armor, weapons and propellant tanks. The normal suit includes life-support and communications equipment, and can be fitted with a vernier backpack for zero-gravity maneuvering. 0050, these space colonies are home to 80% of the human race. When the generator is activated, the I-field forms an invisible barrier around the mobile weapon, protecting it from incoming beam attacks. The Minovsky-Ionesco reactor was named after its fictional inventors, Dr. Y.T. The AMBAC system coordinates movements and micro-movements precisely, allowing a continuous balance and stability without expending reaction mass. 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. 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. The Minovsky particles produced as a byproduct of the helium-3 fusion reaction were recycled to keep that reaction going. The Minovsky Drive allowed the ship to reach incredible speeds, such that it could travel between Earth and Jupiter over the course of a few weeks instead of the months it takes other ships. Technology from the Gundam anime media mix, Gundam Century renewal version acknowledgment. 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. 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. 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. The Mobile Suit Epoch Vol. At the dawn of the Universal Century, a massive space settlement program is launched to address Earth's energy, environmental, and population problems. A helium-3 atom is fused with a deuterium atom (heavy hydrogen) to form the stable helium-4 and a single proton. 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. Rather than sending and receiving data via thoughtwaves as in a true psycommu system, the quasi-psycommu system continually samples the pilot's electrical brainwaves, allowing the pilot to communicate specific instructions almost instantaneously. [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. 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. CP-01 Buster Sword (Newtype Series) Creation Particle Research (Newtype Series) Creation Particles Research (GS:E) Crystal Field Generator. 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. If controlled, the particles can form fringes of different widths and further interfere with electromagnetic waves of shorter wavelengths. 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. Universal Century technology refers to technology created in the fictional Universal Century timeline of the Gundam anime media mix. It also incorporated an extremely . The mantle could then be discarded once it loses all the ABC (thus the anti-beam protection). In this fashion, the reactor provides the mobile suit with an abundant supply of electricity. Why? The core block system used in the Earth Federation's RX series, meanwhile, is too expensive for mass production. Special Equipment & Features Phantom Mane The propulsion system based on the Minovsky Drive used by the Phantom. 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]. Unlike an I-field generator, which is effective only against beam attacks, the beam shield blocks both beam and projectile weapons. This device sprays a sticky sealant (also known as "birdlime"), similar to the wall film used to mend breaches in warship hulls. The Minovsky particles produced as a byproduct of the helium-3 fusion reaction were recycled to keep that reaction going. Another weakness is that the I-field generator has an operating limit. 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. Although Minovsky particle interference does have some effect at infra-red wavelengths, enemy warships and mobile armors still register as heat sources. 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) This process however leads to the side effect of gradual memory loss. A method of preserving one's personality and memories developed by the Jupiter Empire. The Psycoframe is a later technology that builds the psycommu into the nanomachines within the metal frame of a mobile suit. 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. 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, the Earth Federation was quick to adopt the system on its Pegasus-class assault carriers. 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. [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." Also allows the user to use wire-guided weapons. The linear rail contains actuators, which are controlled by a computer to mitigate the g-force from acceleration and impact. [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]. Robot & Rockets & Futuropolis, Gundam SF World, Shonen Magazine Deluxe. The Minovsky-Ionesco reactor was named after its fictional inventors, Dr. Y.T. This coating can absorb some of the energy from the mega-particles and hence reduce the damage. The idea is simple: "If four limbs can maneuver the unit better than none, why not equip them with 5 or more?" Ginias Sahalin's Apsaras II featured a perfected Minovsky craft system that was much more stable in atmospheric flight. Therefore, it initially seems impossible to install these weapons in mobile suits. These are supplemented by infra-red and laser sensors for precision targeting. [10] The series' technology is now serving as the inspiration for academic research in different fields, which could include moon settlements and mega-particle cannon. 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. Thanks to his massive intellect and high . The main use of the Minovsky particle was in combat and communication. When this propellant is discharged through the rocket nozzles, it creates a counter-force in the opposite direction, generating thrust. 0079 for their Mobile Suits. More sophisticated varieties are equipped with small maneuvering verniers, allowing them to move in a realistic manner and register on infra-red sensors. 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. Developed by Char Aznable's Neo-Zeon, the Psycoframe allowed a Mobile Suit to be controlled by a Newtype pilot as if it were an extension of their own body, giving it greater response time.

However, this barrier has no effect against solid objects like missiles and projectiles, and beam weapons can still be used at point blank range within the barrier's boundary. 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. Although these laser signals are limited to relatively short ranges, this is the standard means of communication in the battlefield, and these messages are very difficult for enemies to intercept. The system is similar in principle to the momentum wheel system used in present day satellites, though obviously more complex. An I-field generator consumes a large amount of energy and overheats in around 15-20 minutes. The tail stabilator continues to be used on MS developed after U.C.0087, an example is the RGZ-91 Re-GZ. [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]. Due to its high power requirements, the I-field generator originally could only be installed in large mobile weapons. Power Plant: Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor Armaments: Hyper Mega Bazooka Launcher and Arondight Beam Sword Special Armaments: Absorb Shield Special Systems/Feature: Detachable Body Bits 1 Reply LostDepths 1 yr. ago LostDepths's personal Mobile Suit: Primary Color: Yellow Secondary Color: Orange Power Plant: GN Drive (Trans-Am capable) Minovsky made mobile suits feasible. Early beam rifles were either taken back to ships for recharging or simply discarded. Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor, . The Federation did not know of the existence of this variant of Gundarium until Anaheim Electronics gives them theRMS-108 Marasaias a political gesture. 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. Some variants of the tail stabilator are equipped with built-in vernier thrusters and can thus further improve a mobile suit's manoeuvrability. 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 The beam shield blocks both beam and projectile weapons identical ( or nearly identical ) copies of..
