Robot & Rockets & Futuropolis, Gundam SF World, Shonen Magazine Deluxe. 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. This principle is used in the flying armor employed by the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II, and in the transforming MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam. This allowed the Pegasus-class to enter and exit earth's atmosphere and to fly while inside the atmosphere. A unique type of sensor used in the heads of Crossbone Vanguard mobile suits, which consists of a pair of compound sensors installed behind two goggle-like lenses. As described in the Gundam Officials and Mobile Suit Gundam the novel appendix, the semi-transparent coating () is originally used as the laser medium, mirror and partial mirror of laser weapons in the Universal Century timeline. The visual data provided by the mono-eye is supplemented by ten or more secondary cameras, which are distributed around the exterior of the mobile suit. Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor Armaments 2 x 60mm Vulcan Gun 4 x Beam Saber (2 on forearms; 2 in backpack, usable in Destroy Mode only) 2 x Beam Tonfa System Features NT-D System Optional Equipment Beam Magnum Shield I-Field Generator Armor Gundarium Alloy Accommodation Pilot only (in panoramic monitor/linear seat cockpit in torso) 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 These form-fitting space suits provide a minimum of impediment to the pilot's movements. 0065, Minovsky noticed a unique electromagnetic effect within the completed reactor, which he attributed to a new kind of subatomic particle. Special Equipment & Features Phantom Mane The propulsion system based on the Minovsky Drive used by the Phantom. The list of authors can be seen in the page history there. 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. Using this interface a Newtype pilot can direct remote weapons, and operate huge mobile armors, by thought alone. The protons and helium ions produced by these fusion reactions can then be directed by a magnetic field to generate thrust. This coating is often applied on mobile suit shields. An attachment point for weapons, shields, spare ammunition, or optional mission-specific equipment. but it included more advanced technology like built-in Minovsky Flight Units. The bio-computer is originally intended to help the disabled, but its development is ultimately funded by the Earth Federation Forces, who hope to employ it as a mobile suit control system and install it in the F91 Gundam for experimental purposes. 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. 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 [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. 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. Ginias Sahalin's Apsaras II featured a perfected Minovsky craft system that was much more stable in atmospheric flight. 0050, these space colonies are home to 80% of the human race. The word Newtype (, Nytaipu) first came into being when Zeon Zum Deikun, the fictional character, founder of the space colony-based Principality of Zeon, created his philosophy: mankind was destined to leave the Earth for space, where they would experience a cognitive shift, and evolve into a kind of superhuman called the Newtype. 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. CP-01 Buster Sword (Newtype Series) Creation Particle Research (Newtype Series) Creation Particles Research (GS:E) Crystal Field Generator. 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. 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. 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. Ultracompact Minovsky Fusion Reactor 0 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. Although Minovsky particle interference does have some effect at infra-red wavelengths, enemy warships and mobile armors still register as heat sources. Major lunar cities like Von Braun are equipped with laser ignition stations for boosting transport ships into space. Due to its high power requirements, the I-field generator originally could only be installed in large mobile weapons. The core block system used in the Earth Federation's RX series, meanwhile, is too expensive for mass production. It is the device that enables the machine the ability to walk like a human being. [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. This plane is divided into multiple sections, which can be turned on or off as needed to conserve energy. The device detects and amplifies the user's brainwaves, and a sophisticated computer system enables the user to manipulate weapons by using their mind. 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. However, in the weightless environment of space, the centrifugal force produced within a rotating cylinder can be used to simulate Earth's gravity. They became a normal reference of the serial story and attracted publishers to publish books on them. This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. The linear seat technology was invented to address this issue. The main use of the Minovsky particle was in combat and communication. 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". To fix this, the Magnet Coating process was created. In both cases, the clones seem to have an enhanced receptivity to the Newtype thoughtwaves of the original, particularly after the originals' deaths. The Day when Science will overtake Science Fiction. An extra plate of armor carried on a mobile suit's arm. 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 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]. The shelf nozzles installed on Crossbone Vanguard command mobile suits like the XM-04 Berga Dalas and XM-05 Berga Giros are examples of this external device concept. It was also used before and early in the One Year War as an effective armour coating to defend against laser weapons. During the One Year War, Zeon and Federation mobile suits utilized monocoque and semi-monocoque construction respectively, with machinery placed inside an armored "outer shell" akin to an exoskeleton. The technology coats multiple layers of high specific heat capacity material on top of the armour that evaporates in high temperature. Performance: unknown . 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). However, the high cost of both raw materials and processing limit their use to military applications, aircraft, spacecraft, medical devices, connecting rods on expensive sports cars and some premium sports equipment and consumer electronics.In the Universal Century, Titanium Alloy is used as the standard armor material for most mass-produced mobile suits. This extra propellant greatly extends a mobile suit's operating range, and enables it to stay in combat longer. Most of the early mobile suits used during the One Year War lack emergency escape mechanisms. The balloon emerges from the cockpit's console panel at the moment of impact, and then immediately deflates again. These Sub Flight Systems, or sled, come in both atmospheric and space versions. A device which converts the energy of a mobile suit's thermonuclear reactor into electrical power. A standard piece of mobile suit technology, the balancer, sometimes called balance controller or auto-balancer by different authors, is the device responsible for keeping a mobile suit upright. 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. 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. [7][8] The first mass production mobile suit that adopted the linear seat was the RMS-106 Hizack. Therefore, it initially seems impossible to install these weapons in mobile suits. Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor, . propellant tank. 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. Due to the repulsive and electrostatic forces between the Minovsky particles, this lattice functions as a kind of a force field, which is referred to as an I-field. 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. While early mobile suits use solid-fuel motors for maneuvering, later models often use liquid-fuel rockets for better performance. The mobile suit's internal cooling systems must also be engaged to deal with the heat that penetrates the air field. The NRX-055 Baund Doc appears to be equipped with a similar device. A compound weapon whot combine the functions of Muramasa Blaster and Peacock Smasher. Rather than merely displaying data on a computer monitor, the bio-computer can relay it directly to the pilot in the form of sensory information, so what the machine "feels" can also be experienced by the human operator. Dimensions: head height 23.0 meters Weight: empty 23.6 metric tons; max gross 52.4 metric tons Armor materials: Gundarium alloy Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 3,340 kW Propulsion: rocket thrusters: 56,000 kg total Performance: unknown Equipment and design features: sensors, range 19,300 meters But the Dodai also retains all the functions of a conventional aircraft, such as navigation and fire control systems, and requires its own dedicated pilot. This became known as the "Minovsky Effect". An I-field is used to deflect enemy mega particle beams. Installed on the XM-07 Vigna Ghina, these devices are improved versions of the shelf nozzle used by other Crossbone Vanguard command mobile suits. Cyclotron Power Core. 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. It can also protect the unit from laser attacks by the same principle. The beam shield generates a plane of energy similar to the blade of a beam saber. A new type of cockpit display, typically used in conjunction with a linear floating seat. In addition to providing protection, the F91's armor also incorporates circuitry and cooling systems, allowing this highly compact mobile suit to make more efficient use of its limited internal space. A mind-machine interface, based on the psycommu system used by Newtype, which can be used even by normal humans. 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. When this propellant is discharged through the rocket nozzles, it creates a counter-force in the opposite direction, generating thrust. E-cap technology appears outside of UC continuity in MS Saga: A New Dawn. Corodal Carbon. The Axis researchers develop an improved lightweight version called Gundarium Gamma, which is introduced in the RMS-099 Rick Dias and widely used throughout the Gryps Conflict. 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]. Not wanting his rival Amuro Ray to be left with an unsatisfactory unit for their final fight, Char leaked the plans to Anaheim and allowed it to be used for the RX-93 Gundam. 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 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. Written by mechanical designer Hajime Katoki, 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. This page was last edited on 27 December 2022, at 21:27. Semi-transparent coating protect the unit by having multiple layers all reflecting a certain wavelength of light and thus effectively reduces the energy of different laser 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) Computer control system that takes over some of the basic tasks that a pilot normally does, and allows him or her to focus on other tasks. However, it had the same weakness as all other I-field Generators - the generators tend to overheat and thus force cooldowns. 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. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. This allows a Newtype pilot to control the mobile suit as if it were his/her own body. It should be noted that in real physics, helium-3-deuterium fusion produces neutrons due to inevitable deuterium-deuterium reactions. 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. The idea is simple: "If four limbs can maneuver the unit better than none, why not equip them with 5 or more?" On a small celestial body like Earth's moon, with low gravity and no atmosphere, objects can be launched into orbit by the mass driver alone, but objects launched from Earth still require a rocket booster to complete their ascent. RX-105 Gundam which appeared in the same series also equipped the device, however it is fully integrated into its structure. A highly efficient propulsion system used for moving asteroids, space colonies, and large vessels like Inter-Planetary Helium Carriers. Which one you would use if you're to make your own mobile suit/armor/doll? This reactor was "radical" due to the fact that it was the first "clean" nuclear reactor, emitting zero neutron radiation. This mechanism has far better fuel efficiency than a thermonuclear rocket engine or a chemical rocket, but due to its relatively low thrust it's best suited for massive, slow-moving objects such as the asteroid Axis. 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. 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. More sophisticated varieties are equipped with small maneuvering verniers, allowing them to move in a realistic manner and register on infra-red sensors.
