The first variant to Titanium Alloy, this version is both stronger and lighter than titanium alloy. The Federation Forces, meanwhile, concentrate on developing artificially enhanced cyber-Newtypes to operate their psycommu weapons. An I-field generator consumes a large amount of energy and overheats in around 15-20 minutes. 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 . A lightweight type of normal suit designed for combat pilots. Furthermore, if the pilot wears a compatible normal suit, the suit itself can be affixed to the seat, with no need for seatbelts. Paptimus Scirocco's custom-made mobile suit PMX-003 The O is also equipped with this device as is Judau Ashta's MSZ-010 ZZ Gundam. 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. Born on December 2, 1923 to Tetter and Ivana Minovsky in Moscow, Yuri was born into a Party family. [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. 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. Dimensions: head height 23.0 meters Weight: empty 29.1 metric tons; max gross 65.4 metric tons Armor materials: Gundarium alloy Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 3,340 kW Propulsion: rocket thrusters: 80,000 kg total Performance: unknown Equipment and design features: sensors, range 19,300 meters Before you post please check to see if your content or Minovsky and Dr. Ionesco. 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 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. Among them being having a five minute time usage so it wouldn't kill its pilot and the fact that it doesn't discriminate against real Newtypes and Cyber-Newtypes. The Minovsky particles produced as a byproduct of the helium-3 fusion reaction were recycled to keep that reaction going. This is the primary reason for the birth of the Zeon close-combat weapon: the mobile suit. 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. OPERATOR: Principality of Zeon 603 Technical Evaluation Unit Mass-Divers The AMBAC technology in conjunction with the fictional fusion reactor developed by the character Dr. Y.T. 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. Thanks to the effects of Minovsky particle interference, radar sensors are virtually useless in the battlefields of the Universal Century, and optical cameras are the primary means of detecting and targeting enemy vessels. 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. [24], According to the timeline deduced by the Gundam Officials, in UC 0071, Zeon researchers created the Minovsky ultracompact fusion reactor. 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 RX-77-3F was the highest-performance iteration & was comparable performance wise RGM-79SC GM Sniper Customs, incorporating lessons learned from all . Also allows the user to use wire-guided weapons. However, the difficulty of processing the titanium, and the expense of the rare metals used, render Gundarium alloy unsuitable for mass-produced mobile suits. In the original show, the magnet coating process has no visible indication. According to Gundam Sentinel Special Edition, the beam smart gun is designed to bend the output beam by up to 20 degrees. These technological settings have also since then impacted a lot of anime and manga to have their own technological background to a certain degree[1]. During the Gryps Conflict and the Neo Zeon rebellion of U.C. Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 3,980 kW Propulsion: . These devices, distributed across the machine's outer surface, are used for changing direction and performing fine movements - or attitude control, in technical jargon. A new type of control lever used in the mobile suits of the U.C. A prototype transformable Man-Machine developed by Metatron, the Gaia Gear is a ultra high-performance unit built during the pinnacle of Universal Century era technology. The fin nozzles, which project laterally from the Vigna Ghina's backpack, are connected directly to the mobile suit's generator for better energy transmission efficiency. Also, significant quantities of helium-3 were recently discovered on the moon, although there is certainly much more on Jupiter. The AMBAC system also allows the center of mass to shift outside of the body. These space boats can hold more than a dozen passengers each, in addition to two pilots, and are equipped with handy manipulator arms. Huge space stations are constructed in Earth orbit to house the emigrants, and by U.C. The idea is simple: "If four limbs can manoeuvre the unit better than none, why not equip them with 5 or more?" This provides the basis for the miniaturizing of fusion reactors installed in mobile suits since a controlled I-field can block the infra-red waves. However, the E-CAP cannot be recharged by Mobile Suits themselves; once its energy is drained the weapon becomes useless. A handheld device which helps humans get around in zero-gravity environments like spacecraft hangars and space colony docks. The mobile suit's internal cooling systems must also be engaged to deal with the heat that penetrates the air field. Categories The nuclear equation was: This is essentially the same equation as used in classical physics, with the addition of the fictional Minovsky particle as a catalyst, instead of a muon. For this reason, it was adopted for use on mobile suits as the standard power plant. 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. This strengthening of the pilot's abilities is done by forcibly increasing and speeding up the neurotransmissions in the pilot's brain. This makes the Dodai highly versatile, but also rather expensive. Doctor Minovsky went on to develop a functional thermonuclear fusion reactor. Thus, at low altitudes it is possible to generate an I-field cushion between the underside of a vessel and the ground, yielding a gravity-countering buoyancy. 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". A detachable booster that can be installed on mobile suits and mobile armors. This system was latter used by the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam. The technology is later obtained by the renegade Principality of Zeon soldiers based at the asteroid Axis. This reactor was "radical" due to the fact that it was the first "clean" nuclear reactor, emitting zero neutron radiation. (May, 2006, 11th edition). These technologies are the basic reasoning for the Universal Century's having mobile suits as the main battle units, replacing space fighters. The power output of a mobile suit's generator, although far lower than that of a warship, is sufficient to complete this process and form mega particles. 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]. 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 image displayed on this screen is a computer simulation constructed from the cameras distributed around the mobile suit's exterior. Due to the various advantages of the movable frame, it soon become the standard mobile suit construction method during the Gryps War, and the obsolete monocoque and semi-monocoque construction was eventually phased out. For the most part, AMBAC is invisible to the naked eye, as the shifts are slight. Due to its high power requirements, the I-field generator originally could only be installed in large mobile weapons. 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. 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. 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. Ginias Sahalin's Apsaras II featured a perfected Minovsky craft system that was much more stable in atmospheric flight. Individual colony pairs are known as Bunches, and a group of colonies that occupy a Lagrangian point are known collectively as a Side. The balancers are placed all across the body of the mobile suit's frame, with primary systems being located in the limbs. [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. Thankfully, those with strong wills can overpower the system and determine when it can activate. It is a controversial system which seems to be similar to the earlier developed EXAM System. 150K subscribers in the Gundam community. The mantle could then be discarded once it loses all the ABC (thus the anti-beam protection). 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. A new type of cockpit display, typically used in conjunction with a linear floating seat. A compound weapon whot combine the functions of Muramasa Blaster and Peacock Smasher. As described in the manga, Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam, and MS Encyclopedia 2003, in U.C.0133, the anti-beam coating mantle is used to provide easily restored protection against beam weapon attacks. However, it should not be considered a complete brain clone of Amuro, as the bio brains of Dogatie and Callisto's Shadow were. A skilled pilot can use this crude device to deflect enemy attacks, but in the hands of a novice it's little more than dead weight, so designers sometimes opt to omit the shield and devote the equivalent mass to heavier armor for the mobile suit itself. The main use of the Minovsky particle was in combat and communication. Thus, they are immune to effects of N-jammers, as fusion reactors lack free neutron to disrupt! The wire-gun launches a powerful magnet attached to a wire cable, which anchors the user in place and can be rewound to pull him to his destination. This extra propellant greatly extends a mobile suit's operating range, and enables it to stay in combat longer. [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. (Birth of Giant Robot - Latest Robotics Engineering birth from Gundam). Numerous shock absorbers are installed throughout a mobile suit's body, and the linear floating seat where the pilot sits is itself mounted on an electromagnetic shock absorber. Although most units are equipped with beam shields already, the ABC mantle provides stealth compared to the brightly glowing beam shields, which renders the units a visible target. An electromagnetic catapult installed on the surface of a planet, moon, or other celestial body, which is used to accelerate objects to escape velocity. 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. 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. When under the influence of the system, the mobile suit's visor glows red and all of its exhaust vents glow yellow. AMBAC is by its nature limited to re-orienting the unit about its center of mass, and is not a substitute for propulsion. 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. Mobile suit pilots have to endure much higher acceleration forces than aircraft pilots, caused by maneuvering and engaging in close combat in a mobile suit. The system works by using the Psycoframe built within its body to seek out Newtype brainwaves. However, it had the same weakness as all other I-field Generators - the generators tend to overheat and thus force cooldowns. The Mobile Suit Epoch Vol. Universal Century technology refers to technology created in the fictional Universal Century timeline of the Gundam anime media mix. 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. A mind control system installed in the MRX-009 Psyco Gundam, which compels its cyber-Newtype pilot to fight in battle. 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. 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. The nuclear equation was: (energy released: 18.35 MeV) The idea is simple: "If four limbs can maneuver the unit better than none, why not equip them with 5 or more?" A traditional space suit used for extravehicular activities, so named to distinguish it from mobile suits. The disruption of electromagnetic radiation is due to the small lattice of the I-field creating fringes that long wavelengths cannot penetrate, and that diffract wavelengths that have similar distance with the fringes. At the same time Anaheim Electronics had scavenged the Minovsky Drive from the remains of the Mother Vanguard and used it do design their own mobile suit with a "wings of light" system. 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. A helium-3 atom is fused with a deuterium atom (heavy hydrogen) to form the stable helium-4 and a single proton. The Minovsky-Ionesco reactor was named after its fictional inventors, Dr. Y.T. However, the system can be used to dodge incoming projectiles or small objects as the arms and legs of a mobile suit account for a significant portion of its total mass. When these particles are scattered in high densities, they render radio communication impossible. He thus was raised around politics and science the whole of his life. 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. [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." 0093, these "sleds" are used by every warring faction, including the Earth Federation Forces, the Titans, the AEUG and the Neo Zeon. Under these conditions, the best alternative is to transmit data in the form of low-intensity laser pulses. Then when the motion of the arm stopped, the rotation of the body would also stop. When the pilot grasps the spherical controller, he can use his fingers to operate the individual control switches, while moving the sphere itself to maneuver the mobile suit. Due to this, the military use of Minovsky particles ushered in a new era of close-range combat. MS Encyclopedia, ISBN / 4-89189-336-2, Bandai, 10th Feb, 1988. 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. Add to Favourites. 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. 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 diffracted and their accuracy decreases, and visible light is fogged. 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. Beam barriers generated in Flight Form allowed the Gundam to achieve supersonic . On Earth, other options for detecting enemies include sonar and magnetic anomaly detectors - the latter devices, used in the modern era for locating submarines, sense the magnetic distortions caused by metallic objects. 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 nuclear equation was: (energy released: 18.35 MeV) An I-field is used to deflect enemy mega particle beams. The exposed power cables seen on some Zeon mobile suits, such as the Zaku II series, are part of the fluid pulse system, connecting the reactor to each joint. 0065, Minovsky noticed a unique electromagnetic effect within the completed reactor, which he attributed to a new kind of subatomic particle.
