A handheld device which helps humans get around in zero-gravity environments like spacecraft hangars and space colony docks. This super-efficient design was only a fifth as large as an equivalently powerful Minovsky-Ionesco reactor, allowing the reactor to be mounted within the mobile suit instead of an external backpack. Due to its high power requirements, the I-field generator originally could only be installed in large mobile weapons. 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). This diffraction and polarization process disrupts the electromagnetic waves. 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. 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. 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. Wing Binders and Tail Stabilator are technological instruments that provide extra control for the AMBAC systems. Comment. Several years after the ship's destruction SNRI would take the Minovsky Drive and improve it, reducing the size and installing onto three mobile suits, the F99 Record Breaker, as the "wings of light". 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. (Birth of Giant Robot - Latest Robotics Engineering birth from Gundam). 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. An I-field is used to deflect enemy mega particle beams. Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor Power Output 4780 kW Pilot Accommodations Pilot only (in cockpit in chest with transformable Core Fighter) Armor Gundarium Alloy Super-Ceramic Composite Movement Max Acceleration 4.50 G Propulsion Rocket thrusters Rocket Thrusters 79700 kg (Victory Gundam) 14780 kg (Core Fighter) 14780 kg (Top Fighter) This reactor was "radical" due to the fact that it was the first "clean" nuclear reactor, emitting zero neutron radiation. 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. The Newtype Destroyer (or NT-D) System is an anti-Newtype system developed by the Earth Federation and used on the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam. These form-fitting space suits provide a minimum of impediment to the pilot's movements. As a result, the unit performed well against more conventional mobile suits and showed superiority in manoeuvrability. 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. You know that nuclear fission (normal conventional nuclear reactor) is different than nuclear fusion (limitless non-radioactive clean energy, literal a micro star) power. Cyclotron Power Core. 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. Another weakness is that the I-field generator has an operating limit. 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. If controlled, the particles can form fringes of different widths and further interfere with electromagnetic waves of shorter wavelengths. 2.3 Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor; 2.4 Mega M-Particle; History. A new type of motor used to drive the joints of Federation mobile suits. Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor Fixed Armaments Beam Vulcans (Mounted on head) GN Micro Missile x24 Heat Claw Palm Busters x2 Handheld Armaments Beam Magnum x1 Beam Saber x2 GN Linear Rifle Remote Armaments Assault Bits x5 Standard Equipment Bioscanner Bit Control System Full Psychoframe I-Field Generator GN Field Newtype Destroyer System 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. Beam barriers generated in Flight Form allowed the Gundam to achieve supersonic . Bandai (with its branch Sunrise) noticed the tradition and has hired writers to write articles for other Gundam series, too. Individual colony pairs are known as Bunches, and a group of colonies that occupy a Lagrangian point are known collectively as a Side. [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]. An external tank is used for propellant storage. Robot & Rockets & Futuropolis, Gundam SF World, Shonen Magazine Deluxe. However, as the years went on, development into the I-field Generator would lead to interesting creations. 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. Because of the way Minovsky particles react with other types of radiation, radar systems and long-range wireless communication systems become useless, infra-red signals are defracted and their accuracy decreases, and visible light is fogged. 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. Unlike an I-field generator, which is effective only against beam attacks, the beam shield blocks both beam and projectile weapons. [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." and claimed that he did not think of Engineering and Electronics at all. Zeon would try this with their MS-11 Act Zaku, but the suit wouldn't see the light of day until the Gryps Conflict. The Federation Forces, meanwhile, concentrate on developing artificially enhanced cyber-Newtypes to operate their psycommu weapons. When in direct physical contact, it's also possible to communicate via a contact link. A new type of cockpit display, typically used in conjunction with a linear floating seat. Most of the early mobile suits used during the One Year War lack emergency escape mechanisms. In U.C. A super high-tensile alloy developed by Earth Federation Forces researchers at the asteroid base Luna II. 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. 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 system works by using the Psycoframe built within its body to seek out Newtype brainwaves. A method of preserving one's personality and memories developed by the Jupiter Empire. After the One Year War, the material is renamed Gundarium in honor of the famous mobile suit. The technical term for a mobile suit's arm and hand. However All Record Breaker units, their spare parts, and all data on the "wings of light" were lost. 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. In the original show, the magnet coating process has no visible indication. These Sub Flight Systems, or sled, come in both atmospheric and space versions. 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. Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor: GENERATOR OUTPUT: ARMOR MATERIAL: Super Hard Steel Alloy: TOTAL THRUST: CREW: Pilot only (in standard cockpit in chest) MANUFACTURER: Zeonic DEVELOPED FROM: RGM-79 GM FIRST DEPLOYMENT: November, 0079 U.C. 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. In the original Mobile Suit Gundam series, Char Aznable commented that the way to avoid a beam rifle is to avoid its being pointed at you. Only if he or she connects with her may the systems true performance come out. propellant tank. 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. At the dawn of the Universal Century, a massive space settlement program is launched to address Earth's energy, environmental, and population problems. 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. When the funnels are not in use, they are attached to the mother suit's surface hardpoints for recharging. However, his inventions were applied very differently by the Earth Federation. 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 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. These devices house both propellant tanks and powerful rocket thrusters, enabling the mobile armor to accelerate rapidly on its way to the battlefield. An attachment point for weapons, shields, spare ammunition, or optional mission-specific equipment. Welcome to r/Gundam! The protons and helium ions produced by these fusion reactions can then be directed by a magnetic field to generate thrust. Major lunar cities like Von Braun are equipped with laser ignition stations for boosting transport ships into space. 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]. 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. Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 1,400 kW Propulsion: rocket thrusters: output unknown; Minovsky craft system: output unknown. | Anime Amino", Beyond the Time ~Mbius no Sora wo Koete~, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gundam_Universal_Century_technology&oldid=1129940757, Short description is different from Wikidata, Wikipedia articles that are excessively detailed from April 2012, All articles that are excessively detailed, Wikipedia articles with style issues from April 2012, Wikipedia introduction cleanup from April 2012, Articles covered by WikiProject Wikify from April 2012, All articles covered by WikiProject Wikify, Articles that need to differentiate between fact and fiction from April 2012, All articles that need to differentiate between fact and fiction, Articles with multiple maintenance issues, Articles with unsourced statements from July 2022, Articles containing Japanese-language text, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License 3.0. [4] A main part of the book surrounds the discussion on real-life technologies including space habitats and mass driver. 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. The HADES was created by the Augusta Newtype Lab with the data they requested from Chlust Moses regarding the EXAM system. The Day when Science will overtake Science Fiction. The balancers are placed all across the body of the mobile suit's frame, with primary systems being located in the limbs. 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] Often in conflict with the program the system will cause the mobile weapon to go berserk and kill both enemy and friends alike. This process however leads to the side effect of gradual memory loss. However, the full latent potential of this system can only be tapped by a Newtype pilot. 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. 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. [24][25], The fictional weapons of the Universal Century were described to be utilizing the degeneracy of the Minovsky Particle by compressing Minovsky particles in high pressure chambers and firing out the degenerated Minovsky particles (from the fusing of a positively charged and a negatively charged one) which carries high energy and mass from the degeneration of the matter. To fix this, the Magnet Coating process was created. After the war, the Earth Federation Forces refine this concept into a dedicated mobile suit support device, substantially reducing its cost. The Minovsky-Ionesco reactor was named after its fictional inventors, Dr. Y.T. This page deals with technology from the Universal Century timeline of the Gundam fictional universe meta-series. Perfect Grade, Master Grade, High Grade Model Instruction Manual, Bandai. Within the next few years, they identified the cause: a new elementary particle generated by the helium-3 reaction on the inner wall of the reactor, which was named the Minovsky particle or "M" particle. By doing this, a Mobile Suit's reaction time is increased by 20-30%. A compound weapon whot combine the functions of Muramasa Blaster and Peacock Smasher. AMBAC is by its nature limited to re-orienting the unit about its center of mass, and is not a substitute for propulsion. Unlike radio communications, conversations transmitted in this way are almost impossible to intercept. During the Gryps Conflict and the Neo Zeon rebellion of U.C. A detachable booster that can be installed on mobile suits and mobile armors. 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. Which one you would use if you're to make your own mobile suit/armor/doll? Thanks to his massive intellect and high . 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. The AMBAC system also allows the center of mass to shift outside of the body. A new protective device used by the mobile suits of the U.C. 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. All Zeon funnel-equipped units have the ability to recharge funnels, but the Earth Federation Forces were very slow in adopting the technology. Since the proton is positively charged, it can easily be trapped within a magnetic field.
