Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor: : Pilot Only, Cockpit on Chest: : Nanomachine Infused Gundanium Alloy: ; : Relum Dominatus; Field Imperium; Deus ex Machina (Imperator and Centurio Tria only) ; (Centurio) Blade Luminarium; Launcher Geminus (Centurio Auxilius) 3 x Wing Unit Blade Luminarium . This allows a Newtype pilot to control the mobile suit as if it were his/her own body. Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 3,980 kW Propulsion: . 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. 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. 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. According to the Gundam Century, MS encyclopedia 2003 and Gundam Officials, the Minovsky Physics Society was formed in U.C.0045 at the space colony Side 3. Using this mind-machine interface, Iron Mask can operate the Rafflesia via thought alone, without the use of any conventional levers, pedals, or manual controls. Infra-red sensors can be used for long-range enemy detection. Installed on the XM-07 Vigna Ghina, these devices are improved versions of the shelf nozzle used by other Crossbone Vanguard command mobile suits. 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. A mind control system installed in the MRX-009 Psyco Gundam, which compels its cyber-Newtype pilot to fight in battle. 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. However, his inventions were applied very differently by the Earth Federation. 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. The protons and helium ions produced by these fusion reactions can then be directed by a magnetic field to generate thrust. A technology similar to the later well-known anti-beam coating called beam-resistant coating () was developed and became a standard after applying on the MS-07B-3 Gouf Custom. The Day when Science will overtake Science Fiction. 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. 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]. It is considered the trademark of Zeonic's famous MS-06 Zaku II. 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. 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. According to the timeline deduced by the Gundam Officials, in UC 0071, Zeon researchers created the Minovsky ultracompact fusion reactor . While functionally similar to the psycommu system, the bio-computer places less strain on its human operator. 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. 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. The Fin Funnel Barrier is a special force field that is powerful enough to not only stop beam weaponry, but also physical weaponry and is even able to trap units within it. It takes a strong pilot to use the system and even then the newtype girl maybe still against the pilot. Special Equipment & Features Phantom Mane The propulsion system based on the Minovsky Drive used by the Phantom. 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. This bio brain also develops Newtype abilities thanks to the combat data, as well as some aspects of Amuro's personality. 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). These technologies first debuted in Gundam Century, written by fans at that time, later endorsed by Sunrise and Bandai, and some of the authors of the articles within Gundam Century became official editors and writers of Gundam mechanics. After the One Year War, the material is renamed Gundarium in honor of the famous mobile suit. This diffraction and polarization process disrupts the electromagnetic waves. Even if the unit used them generators one at a time, there was still a window of opportunity for others to utilize. The system made use of the wings' mobility for the transformation during mobile suit mode as AMBAC limbs and further increasing the number of limbs for the AMBAC system. 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. It was handed from Phantom V2 Kai and used. 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". Each reactor is even further miniaturized A Ata Geta 617 followers More information Comment. The main use of the Minovsky particle was in combat and communication. 0120 era. AMBAC works by leveraging Isaac Newton's Third Law of Motion (When there's an action there is an equal and opposite reaction) with regard to inertia to effect changes in direction. A deception device that takes advantage of Minovsky particle interference. Wing Binders and Tail Stabilator are technological instruments that provide extra control for the AMBAC systems. [7][8] The first mass production mobile suit that adopted the linear seat was the RMS-106 Hizack. 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. Instead, it uses a cubic lattice of Minovsky particles to push the vessel away from the Earth's surface. A new protective device used by the mobile suits of the U.C. The AMBAC technology in conjunction with the fictional fusion reactor developed by the character Dr. Y.T. By doing this, a Mobile Suit's reaction time is increased by 20-30%. The system works by using the Psycoframe built within its body to seek out Newtype brainwaves. A new type of control lever used in the mobile suits of the U.C. These are supplemented by infra-red and laser sensors for precision targeting. 0050, these space colonies are home to 80% of the human race. 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. 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. 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. E-cap technology appears outside of UC continuity in MS Saga: A New Dawn. This technology served as the basis of the beam-resistant coating and anti-beam coating although the only common factor is the multiple layers. Due to internal space limitations, some mobile suits carry additional propellant in external The first variant to Titanium Alloy, this version is both stronger and lighter than titanium alloy. 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 AMBAC system also allows the center of mass to shift outside of the body. Zeon would try this with their MS-11 Act Zaku, but the suit wouldn't see the light of day until the Gryps Conflict. 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. The shock balloon, an inflatable cushion similar to the airbags in modern automobiles, provides additional protection in the event of violent deceleration. A system in which electrical signals sent from the pilot's brain to the limbs are translated into commands for the machine for a higher quality of control. While early mobile suits use solid-fuel motors for maneuvering, later models often use liquid-fuel rockets for better performance. The list of authors can be seen in the page history there. Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor Armaments 2 x Head Vulcan Gun 2 x Beam Saber/Dagger System Features Armor Series Cyclops Phase Poseidon Phase Dryad Phase Magic Phase Optional Equipment Beam Machinegun Shield Armor Gundarium Alloy Appearance Storyline Mobile Suit Gundam: Fusion Vs. [Source] 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. It should be noted that in real physics, helium-3-deuterium fusion produces neutrons due to inevitable deuterium-deuterium reactions. This design allowed for better energy efficiency, easier repair, maintenance, and modification of mobile suits, as well as increased maneuverability and fluidity of movements. This frame was completely separate from the sensors, thrusters, armor, weapons and propellant tanks. According to the Gundam Officials and Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, the anti-beam coating (ABC) first came into testing on MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki. These shelf nozzles are movable thrusters attached to the mobile suit's backpack, whose flexibility also allows them to be used for AMBAC maneuvering. This technology is also used in the colony laser Solar Ray, deployed by Zeon forces before the Battle of A Baoa Qu. In the closed environment of a space colony or lunar city, atmospheric pollution must be kept to an absolute minimum, so electric cars (often shortened to "elecar") are used for personal transportation. Upon reaching its destination, the mass driver's payload can be collected by a giant net known as a mass catcher. The space colony (precisely space habitat) technology in Universal Century is referenced from the real world projects proposed by Gerard K. O'Neill in his book The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space. He aspired from his youngest memory to become a scientists. 0081 -The Wrath of Varuna-, Stampede: The Story of Professor Minovsky, Mobile Suit Gundam F91: Formula Report 0122. More sophisticated varieties are equipped with small maneuvering verniers, allowing them to move in a realistic manner and register on infra-red sensors. The Federation did not know of the existence of this variant of Gundarium until Anaheim Electronics gives them theRMS-108 Marasaias a political gesture. A compound weapon whot combine the functions of Muramasa Blaster and Peacock Smasher. Category:Cosmic Century Technology. 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. | 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. [7] Although it could be viewed as following the Star Wars trend, nothing similar has started before the 1981 publishing of Gundam Century. All Zeon funnel-equipped units have the ability to recharge funnels, but the Earth Federation Forces were very slow in adopting the technology. These devices house both propellant tanks and powerful rocket thrusters, enabling the mobile armor to accelerate rapidly on its way to the battlefield. Even military vehicles, like the missile trucks used by colony defense forces, run on electrical batteries. 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. RX-105 Gundam which appeared in the same series also equipped the device, however it is fully integrated into its structure. Binders are technological instruments that provide extra control for the AMBAC systems. When the generator is activated, the I-field forms an invisible barrier around the mobile weapon, protecting it from incoming beam attacks. These devices give the mobile suit unparalleled versatility, and their built-in touch sensors provide immediate feedback for precise operation. 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. Therefore, it initially seems impossible to install these weapons in mobile suits. The Psycoframe is a powerful variation of the psycommu system. The Minovsky particle also interferes with the operations of electronic circuitry and destroys unprotected circuits due to the particles' high electrical charge which act like a continuous electromagnetic pulse on metal objects. In this fashion, the reactor provides the mobile suit with an abundant supply of electricity. This allowed the Pegasus-class to enter and exit earth's atmosphere and to fly while inside the atmosphere. Since it is made up of charged particles, the I-field is unable to penetrate metal, water, the Earth's surface, or other electrically conductive materials and can be shaped simply by trapping it in an electromagnetic field. Born on December 2, 1923 to Tetter and Ivana Minovsky in Moscow, Yuri was born into a Party family. 0090 era. 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. 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. timeline, space colonies are placed at the five Earth-Moon Lagrangian points. The MS-11 Act Zaku, the first Zeon mobile suit to incorporate magnet coating technology, used field motors instead of the traditional fluid pulse system. Most of the early mobile suits used during the One Year War lack emergency escape mechanisms. 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. Gundam and World War II, Doitsu Suzuki, Kosaido Shuppan. It was also used before and early in the One Year War as an effective armour coating to defend against laser weapons. 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. Main article: CloneSome individuals in the Universal Century are artificially-produced, genetically identical (or nearly identical) copies of others. The process has the joints of a suit coated with a special material that, when energized, repels the joints to the point where there is zero friction. 150K subscribers in the Gundam community. This was shown when Amuro, emotionally charged because of his fight with Char, overloaded the Nu Gundam, causing it to explode in a burst of light, yet using that power to tether the falling piece of Axis to the other half and pull it away from the Earth. 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. This reactor was "radical" due to the fact that it was the first "clean" nuclear reactor, emitting zero neutron radiation. 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. 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. The Gundam Wiki is a FANDOM Anime Community. The first of these are the Fin Funnel Barrier used by the RX-93 Nu Gundam and its deriatives. 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. 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. 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". However, in the weightless environment of space, the centrifugal force produced within a rotating cylinder can be used to simulate Earth's gravity. [24], According to the timeline deduced by the Gundam Officials, in UC 0071, Zeon researchers created the Minovsky ultracompact fusion reactor. [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]. Using this interface a Newtype pilot can direct remote weapons, and operate huge mobile armors, by thought alone. Because Sides sometimes share a single Lagrangian point, it is possible to have two Sides in close orbit to one another. 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. During the Gryps Conflict, they are often unmanned models controlled by the mobile suit itself, but later versions are equipped with cockpits so that they can also be used as transport craft. These issues are addressed with the development of the energy capacitor, which makes it possible to create compact beam weapons with greatly reduced power and energy requirements. A device that generates lift from shock waves like those produced during atmospheric entry. Mobile Suit Technology - Construction & Coating, Mobile Suit Technology - Defensive Systems, Mobile Suit Technology - Unique control/interface systems, Gundam Century renewal version acknowledgment, Dengeki Data Collection No.4 - Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Z Part 1, p.50-51, XM-X1 Crossbone Gundam X-1 Kai Kai "Skull Heart", MS-06R Zaku II High Mobility Type (Reuse "P" Device), https://www.itmedia.co.jp/lifestyle/articles/1203/22/news082.html. 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. 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. These units, mounted on the shoulders, allowed the Gundam to utilize a Flight Form. Each colony can support millions of people, and they're grouped into clusters called Sides, each made up of between 35 and 40 colonies and housing a billion or more people. 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. 0065, Minovsky noticed a unique electromagnetic effect within the completed reactor, which he attributed to a new kind of subatomic particle. The Mobile Suit Epoch Vol. Hardpoints can also be used to store carried weapons when a mobile suit needs its manipulators free for other purposes, or when a transformable mobile suit changes into its mobile armor form. 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. 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. 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. A detachable booster that can be installed on mobile suits and mobile armors. This system uses an external power source - namely, a powerful laser - to heat a spacecraft's propellant. The AMBAC system coordinates movements and micro-movements precisely, allowing a continuous balance and stability without expending reaction mass. While this could be done for space ships and naval ships, this ruled out the use of precision guided weapons, such as guided missiles. However, as the years went on, development into the I-field Generator would lead to interesting creations. Ginias Sahalin's Apsaras II featured a perfected Minovsky craft system that was much more stable in atmospheric flight. , Science, Mystery?

The nuclear equation was: (energy released: 18.35 MeV) 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. These form-fitting space suits provide a minimum of impediment to the pilot's movements. The technical term for a mobile suit's arm and hand. When this propellant is discharged through the rocket nozzles, it creates a counter-force in the opposite direction, generating thrust. Propellant is the reaction mass used in the rocket engines of mobile suits and other spacecraft. However, the Earth Federation was quick to adopt the system on its Pegasus-class assault carriers. After the war, the Earth Federation Forces refine this concept into a dedicated mobile suit support device, substantially reducing its cost. 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. 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. In the world of the Universal Century, communication between ships, mobile suits, and the like is greatly complicated by the widespread use of Minovsky particles. 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. An I-field generator consumes a large amount of energy and overheats in around 15-20 minutes. The resulting advancement is the tail binder. Likewise, the lift-generating Minovsky craft system, which vehicles like the White Base use to float in Earth's atmosphere, isn't a true anti-gravity system. The bio brain is an artificial mass of brain matter collected in glass cylinders, acting as a biological computer in which one can upload a copy of their personality and memories, without deleting those in the original brain. Its most ironic flaw is that, because of the massive stress to gives its pilots, a Newtype is the best pilot for the unit. Beam barriers generated in Flight Form allowed the Gundam to achieve supersonic . The system is similar in principle to the momentum wheel system used in present day satellites, though obviously more complex. Huge space stations are constructed in Earth orbit to house the emigrants, and by U.C. 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 These space boats can hold more than a dozen passengers each, in addition to two pilots, and are equipped with handy manipulator arms. The Mobile Suit Epoch Vol. Thankfully, those with strong wills can overpower the system and determine when it can activate. While researcher (associate professor in the University of Tsukuba) and media artist Yoichi Ochiai viewed this in the science angle and said that even currently, if computers are not working right, things will get really weak, mixing in analogue in the machine is a correct choice and the setting is excellent. Due to its high power requirements, the I-field generator originally could only be installed in large mobile weapons. [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]. 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. However, the system has a number of flaws to it. This page was last edited on 27 December 2022, at 21:27. 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. A mind-machine interface, based on the psycommu system used by Newtype, which can be used even by normal humans. However All Record Breaker units, their spare parts, and all data on the "wings of light" were lost. These technologies and their theory are now influential to factual academic research[citation needed]. 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.
