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. The HADES was created by the Augusta Newtype Lab with the data they requested from Chlust Moses regarding the EXAM system. [5] Gundam Officials has collected this information and has presented it along 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. 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. These satellites efficiently convert sunlight into electrical power, then transmit it down to receiver stations on the planet's surface in the form of microwaves. Upon reaching its destination, the mass driver's payload can be collected by a giant net known as a mass catcher. A cousin to the wing binders is the tail stabilator, an elongated binder that is also mounted on the mobile suit's back and can serve to increase the unit's AMBAC capabilities. 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. The Flanagan Institute goes on to develop a mind-machine interface called the psycommu (psycho-communicator) system, which receives these thoughtwaves and translates them into computer commands. Another version of the I-Field Generator but allows the user to redirect incoming beam weapons fire back at targets. 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]. This field has difficulty permeating conductive materials like metal, water, and plasma, and it exerts a repulsive force against mega particles. The main use of the Minovsky particle was in combat and communication. 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. Since the proton is positively charged, it can easily be trapped within a magnetic field. According to Gundam Sentinel Special Edition, the beam smart gun is designed to bend the output beam by up to 20 degrees. 0081 -The Wrath of Varuna-, Stampede: The Story of Professor Minovsky, Mobile Suit Gundam F91: Formula Report 0122. Akin to the EXAM system's aggression and tendency to go berserk, the HADES can activate without the pilot's consent when it detects a perceived threat, regardless of it being an ally or foe. RX-105 Gundam which appeared in the same series also equipped the device, however it is fully integrated into its structure. 1, Cities in the sky, Kofu Culture Imagine Publish, Inc., Hobby Japan Feb, 2005 issue, Ball special, Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Special report, Gundam Kyrios section, Gundam Sentinel special edition Gundam Wars III, ASIN: 4499205301, (Dai Nippon Kaiga Co. Ltd.), Sept, 1989. This system permits the use of simple remote weapons like incoms, but even with computer support, these devices are capable only of two-dimensional movement. Individual colony pairs are known as Bunches, and a group of colonies that occupy a Lagrangian point are known collectively as a Side. An attachment point for weapons, shields, spare ammunition, or optional mission-specific equipment. timeline, space colonies are placed at the five Earth-Moon Lagrangian points. It is often used in conjunction with the propulsion system to quickly turn the unit and shorten aiming speed as well as directing the main thrusters. Performance: unknown . Minovsky and Dr. Ionesco. 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]. An electromagnetic catapult installed on the surface of a planet, moon, or other celestial body, which is used to accelerate objects to escape velocity. 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. This allowed the Pegasus-class to enter and exit earth's atmosphere and to fly while inside the atmosphere. Only a handful of reckless pilots, like Char Aznable, Paptimus Scirocco and Haman Karn, are willing to forfeit the protection of the pilot suit in order to avoid this minor inconvenience. The mobile suit's internal cooling systems must also be engaged to deal with the heat that penetrates the air field. 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. Technology from the Gundam anime media mix, Gundam Century renewal version acknowledgment. This process however leads to the side effect of gradual memory loss. Main article: CloneSome individuals in the Universal Century are artificially-produced, genetically identical (or nearly identical) copies of others. He aspired from his youngest memory to become a scientists. The Mobile Suit Epoch Vol. [18] Within the non-UC Gundam series, the AMBAC system term is also used in Mobile Suit Gundam 00. A cousin to the tail binder is the wing binder, equipped on most transformable mobile suits with waverider mode as wings. The nuclear equation was: (energy released: 18.35 MeV) In this approach, a variety of functions are incorporated into the mobile suit's armor layers. According to Gundam Officials, in the latter half of the One Year War, Zeon mobile suits suffered heavy damage from Earth Federation Forces' beam weaponry-equipped mobile suits. [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]. 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 its full capabilities are unknown, its primary purpose was to allow a Newtype pilot to more easily interface with his mobile suit via mental commands. While the X3 I-field acted like a normal I-field, it also had the added bonus of being able to let the Gundam grab beam sabers with its hands without destroying them. Thanks to his massive intellect and high . However, it is not as effective as the later anti-beam coating, and the armour will still be damaged if the beam weapon is fired in close range or has a high enough power. More efficient than the thermonuclear rocket engines used by space warships, this mechanism enables spacecraft to minimize their propellant consumption as they launch out of lunar orbit. Using this interface a Newtype pilot can direct remote weapons, and operate huge mobile armors, by thought alone. They have also influenced creations in other Animation series. A compound weapon whot combine the functions of Muramasa Blaster and Peacock Smasher. This strengthening of the pilot's abilities is done by forcibly increasing and speeding up the neurotransmissions in the pilot's brain. Digest, , Takarajima sha. While early mobile suits use solid-fuel motors for maneuvering, later models often use liquid-fuel rockets for better performance. Even if the unit used them generators one at a time, there was still a window of opportunity for others to utilize. [8] Bandai (with its branch Sunrise) noticed the tradition and has hired writers to write articles for other Gundam series too. propellant tank. However, it should not be considered a complete brain clone of Amuro, as the bio brains of Dogatie and Callisto's Shadow were. These form-fitting space suits provide a minimum of impediment to the pilot's movements. The mantle could then be discarded once it loses all the ABC (thus the anti-beam protection). 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". 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. The core block system used in the Earth Federation's RX series, meanwhile, is too expensive for mass production. This coating can absorb some of the energy from the mega-particles and hence reduce the damage. 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. 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. 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). 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] In case of emergency, the inhabitants of a space colony can escape using small spacecraft stored in the colony's outer walls. When the propellant is consumed, the tank can be discarded to reduce the mobile suit's weight. 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. The main use of the Minovsky particle was in combat and communication. (Universal Century Science digest - From Space colonies to what Gundam can do). 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. However, the difficulty and expense of producing this alloy preclude its use in mass-produced mobile suits like the RGM-79 GM. 0120 era. 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. Ginias Sahalin's Apsaras II featured a perfected Minovsky craft system that was much more stable in atmospheric flight. Special Equipment & Features Phantom Mane The propulsion system based on the Minovsky Drive used by the Phantom. 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 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. This bio brain also develops Newtype abilities thanks to the combat data, as well as some aspects of Amuro's personality. This system uses an external power source - namely, a powerful laser - to heat a spacecraft's propellant. 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. A second use of the I-field (and Minovsky particles in general) was the repulsion of charged plasma and chargeless mega-particles from an I-field surface, which was of use both in power generation and armament technology. Category:Cosmic Era NS Technology. To use the system, a direct link to all limbs was needed, thus the pilot has to be a quadruple amputee, either through misfortune or volunteer surgery. He thus was raised around politics and science the whole of his life. Funnels are essentially funnel-shaped drone units that are designed to be remotely controlled by a Newtype pilot. However, the system has a number of flaws to it. 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. 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. At the same time, high-end models fielded by League Militaire such as V Gundam and V2 Gundam, have equipped an improved version of the Minovsky craft system called the Minovsky flight system. While functionally similar to the psycommu system, the bio-computer places less strain on its human operator. 0050, these space colonies are home to 80% of the human race. The balancers are placed all across the body of the mobile suit's frame, with primary systems being located in the limbs. 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".
