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. 0100, designers begin to consider shifting systems like generators and thrusters outside the mobile suit itself. 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. Besides being mounted on transformable mobile suit, it is also used by non-transforming units such as PMX-003 The O. 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. 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. It also incorporated an extremely . Binders are technological instruments that provide extra control for the AMBAC systems. The semi-transparent coating is not useful in countering anything other than lasers, thus a new technology has to be developed. It burst, causing Kacricon's Marasai to plunge into the atmosphere. It can also protect the unit from laser attacks by the same principle. During the One Year War, the Principality of Zeon adapts the Dodai YS bomber into a flying platform for transporting mobile suits through Earth's atmosphere. Traitor to Destiny: Blue Wings of the AEUG, Traitor to Destiny Extra Compilation: Mace of Judgment, Chars Deleted Affair: Portrait of Young Comet, Battlefield Record U.C. The Gundam world's fusion reactors rely on a constant supply of helium-3 imported from the outer solar system planet Jupiter, thus necessitating the beginning of the Jupiter Energy Fleet. 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. This field has difficulty permeating conductive materials like metal, water, and plasma, and it exerts a repulsive force against mega particles. This reactor, although designed by Dr. T.Y. 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. It takes a strong pilot to use the system and even then the newtype girl maybe still against the pilot. Added to a layer of armor to increase durability. 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. Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor (Universal Century series) DHGCP power plant (Discontinuous Hyperoscillation Gauge Collapsing Pile) (Turn A series) Hyper-Deuterion Engine (SEED series) GN Drive/GN Drive Tau (00 series) Ahab Reactors (Iron-Blooded Orphans series) Etc. Later variants include Funnel missiles that are guided missiles using funnel-like remote control designs employed in the story Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash. By the year U.C.0047, development of the Minovsky-Ionesco reactor began. 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. According to the timeline deduced by the Gundam Officials, in UC 0071, Zeon researchers created the Minovsky ultracompact fusion reactor . but it included more advanced technology like built-in Minovsky Flight Units. The protons and helium ions produced by these fusion reactions can then be directed by a magnetic field to generate thrust. [7] Although it could be viewed as following the Star Wars trend, nothing similar has started before the 1981 publishing of Gundam Century. A detachable booster that can be installed on mobile suits and mobile armors. A device that generates lift from shock waves like those produced during atmospheric entry. 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 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. These space boats can hold more than a dozen passengers each, in addition to two pilots, and are equipped with handy manipulator arms. 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. A new type of cockpit display, typically used in conjunction with a linear floating seat. The tail stabilator continues to be used on MS developed after U.C.0087, an example is the RGZ-91 Re-GZ. While this could be done for space ships and naval ships, this ruled out the use of precision guided weapons, such as guided missiles. Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 1,400 kW Propulsion: rocket thrusters: output unknown; Minovsky craft system: output unknown. Ginias Sahalin's Apsaras II featured a perfected Minovsky craft system that was much more stable in atmospheric flight. The Minovsky physics is the fundamental technological advancement in the Universal Century series, as all Beam weaponry (including the lightsaber-like Beam Sabers), nuclear technology and defensive measures are based upon this fictional physics. 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. Ultracompact Minovsky Fusion Reactor | The Gundam Wiki | Fandom Wikis Advertisement GUNDAM WIKI 8,964 pages Explore Characters Mechanic Series Community in: Soft redirects Ultracompact Minovsky Fusion Reactor Log in to edit Gundam Wiki:Technology#Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor This page is a soft redirect . However, seeing the horror of the Zabi family's militaristic regime, Minovsky defected back and offered his expertise to the Federation. In both cases, the clones seem to have an enhanced receptivity to the Newtype thoughtwaves of the original, particularly after the originals' deaths. 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. One of the most famous rationale being used is the Active Mass Balance Auto-Control (AMBAC) system, referenced also in various other series including Macross. , Science, Mystery? 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. 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]. [1] Although they are only fictional technologies, they form a base that of the Real Robot genre of anime originates from. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. This device automatically adjusts to the terrain the mobile suit is walking along in. The RX-77-3F was the highest-performance iteration & was comparable performance wise RGM-79SC GM Sniper Customs, incorporating lessons learned from all . E-cap technology appears outside of UC continuity in MS Saga: A New Dawn. These tanks use a two-layered construction, with one layer containing propellant, and the other holding extra coolant. 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 [19] The AMBAC system 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. The Psycoframe is a later technology that builds the psycommu into the nanomachines within the metal frame of a mobile suit. [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]. 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. While functionally similar to the psycommu system, the bio-computer places less strain on its human operator. Magnet Coating is a special process developed by the Earth Federation in U.C. This coating is often applied on mobile suit shields. Thankfully, those with strong wills can overpower the system and determine when it can activate. Instead, it uses a cubic lattice of Minovsky particles to push the vessel away from the Earth's surface. The balloon emerges from the cockpit's console panel at the moment of impact, and then immediately deflates again. Due to this, the military use of Minovsky particles ushered in a new era of close-range combat. AMBAC is by its nature limited to re-orienting the unit about its center of mass, and is not a substitute for propulsion. 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. This is the main reason for his termination of service in the Earth Federation and taking residence in Side 3 prior to the One Year War. (Birth of Giant Robot - Latest Robotics Engineering birth from Gundam). A new type of motor used to drive the joints of Federation mobile suits. This reactor was "radical" due to the fact that it was the first "clean" nuclear reactor, emitting zero neutron radiation. The joints of Zeon mobile suits are driven by a fluid pulse system, which used a pulse converter to turn the energy produced by the atomic reactor into pulses of pressure within a fluid. 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. However, as the years went on, development into the I-field Generator would lead to interesting creations. They became a normal reference of the serial story and attracted publishers to publish books on. It is the device that enables the machine the ability to walk like a human being. These technologies are the basic reasoning for the Universal Century's having mobile suits as the main battle units, replacing space fighters. A Psychoframe can project a Psychofield, which can happen when two Psychoframes are near, this Psychofield is a space where the human consciousness can manipulate the world regardless of the laws of psychics. Thanks to his massive intellect and high . Universal Century technology refers to technology created in the fictional Universal Century timeline of the Gundam anime media mix. 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. 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 became a normal reference of the serial story and attracted publishers to publish books on them. However, the system is so new that the scientists and Anaheim had noticed odd phenomenon, meaning that the Psycoframe could actually be much more powerful. The Minovsky particles that form the I-field lattice also helped catalyze the fusion reaction, in a process similar to the muon-catalyzed fusion investigated by real-world scientists during the 1950s. By the time of the Gryps Conflict most mobile suits have sealant launchers built into the fingers of their manipulators, as well as utility devices like signal flares, dummy dispensers, and fire extinguishers. Gundam Science, Gundam Century Renewal Version, ISBN / 4-87777-028-3, Kisousha, 15th Mar, 2000. An electromagnetic catapult installed on the surface of a planet, moon, or other celestial body, which is used to accelerate objects to escape velocity. 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. Minovsky and Dr. Ionesco. 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. [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. These are commuter trains which travel on rails along the outside of a space colony, running from station to station just like the underground rail systems of terrestrial cities. All Zeon funnel-equipped units have the ability to recharge funnels, but the Earth Federation Forces were very slow in adopting the technology. Due to this, the military use of Minovsky particles ushered in a new era of close-range combat. [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. As such, a gun that does not need to be pointed directly at the target is more dangerous.[16][22]. 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). 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]. At the dawn of the Universal Century, a massive space settlement program is launched to address Earth's energy, environmental, and population problems. There are several different varieties, including a lightweight version designed for pilots called a pilot suit. Even military vehicles, like the missile trucks used by colony defense forces, run on electrical batteries. Eventually the Minovsky Craft System design would be overhauled and upgraded into the Minovsky Drive, the first of its kind being built into the ship Mother Vanguard of the Crossbone Vanguard as a system nicknamed the "Sail of Light".
