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. This coating can absorb some of the energy from the mega-particles and hence reduce the damage. This allows a Newtype pilot to control the mobile suit as if it were his/her own body. The nuclear equation was: (energy released: 18.35 MeV) Although Minovsky particle interference does have some effect at infra-red wavelengths, enemy warships and mobile armors still register as heat sources. [19] The AMBAC system is a fundamental technology that allows for thrusterless manoeuvring in the zero-G environment of space by mobile suits by means of precise movement control of their limbs in the Gundam universe. Why? The core block system used in the Earth Federation's RX series, meanwhile, is too expensive for mass production. 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. 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. However, since these devices are unable to survive the explosion of a mobile suit's main reactor, research continues into the core block system and other escape mechanisms. 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. 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. 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 mind-machine interface, based on the psycommu system used by Newtype, which can be used even by normal humans. 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. These technological settings have also since influenced a lot of anime and manga to have their own technological background to a certain degree. A Newtype pilot is able to control these funnels with great precision via a psycommu system, allowing the user to conduct BVR attacks on a target from almost all directions without having to establish visual contact, making a funnel-equipped mobile suit extremely deadly. When under the influence of the system, the mobile suit's visor glows red and all of its exhaust vents glow yellow. 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. These space boats can hold more than a dozen passengers each, in addition to two pilots, and are equipped with handy manipulator arms. 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. 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. This design allowed for better energy efficiency, easier repair, maintenance, and modification of mobile suits, as well as increased maneuverability and fluidity of movements. 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. 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. Add to Favourites. 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 AMBAC system coordinates movements and micro-movements precisely, allowing a continuous balance and stability without expending reaction mass. 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. 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. 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]. 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. Infra-red sensors can be used for long-range enemy detection.

Added to a layer of armor to increase durability. 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. It was handed from Phantom V2 Kai and used. The balancers are placed all across the body of the mobile suit's frame, with primary systems being located in the limbs. This system is introduced during the One Year War and experimentally employed in the RX-78NT-1 Gundam "Alex", but it doesn't enter mass production until U.C. Performance: unknown . Doctor Minovsky went on to develop a functional thermonuclear fusion reactor. During the events of mobile suit Zeta Gundam; when the AEUG were making a drop on Jaburo, their mobile suits used balloon like devices called ballutes to slow their decent down and prevent burning up. The flying armor functions as a wave rider, allowing the Gundam Mk-II to enter Earth's atmosphere from orbit, and also serves as a hovercraft once it reaches the ground. This principle is used in the flying armor employed by the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II, and in the transforming MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam. For this reason, it was adopted for use on mobile suits as the standard power plant. 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. 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. 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. 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. [2], The latest robot technology in Japan is also influenced by Gundam, due to its fictional technologies' being highly adapted from real-world science,[11] and the Universal Century technologies including space colonies and mobile suits are also viewed academically as to what they can do in real life. Unlike an I-field generator, which is effective only against beam attacks, the beam shield blocks both beam and projectile weapons. 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. Beam barriers generated in Flight Form allowed the Gundam to achieve supersonic . Often in conflict with the program the system will cause the mobile weapon to go berserk and kill both enemy and friends alike. According to the Gundam Officials and Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, the anti-beam coating (ABC) first came into testing on MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki. The mono-eye is mounted on rails, and can slide back and forth to cover a wide field of view. 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. 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. Bandai (with its branch Sunrise) noticed the tradition and has hired writers to write articles for other Gundam series, too. This system was latter used by the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam. This arrangement is highly effective for judging distances and three-dimensional positions in space, and its performance is many times better than that of the mono-eye used in the Principality of Zeon's mobile suits. 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. [9] In the Cosmic Era time line, one of the authors of Gundam Century articles (while still a high school student at that time), Shigeru Morita, who had become a regular employee of Bandai, was assigned to write these kinds of technological articles, possibly a method used by the company to attract Universal Century techno fans to watch the new series. Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 3,980 kW Propulsion: . These tanks use a two-layered construction, with one layer containing propellant, and the other holding extra coolant. Thanks to their increased generator output, the scaled-down mobile suits of this era are able to use beam technology for defensive purposes. It is said that this type of control lever was actually much more simplistic to use over the switches and computers used by past Mobile Suits. The main use of the Minovsky particle was in combat and communication. However, the E-CAP cannot be recharged by Mobile Suits themselves; once its energy is drained the weapon becomes useless. 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. When Minovsky particles are released into the air or into open space, the positive and negative particles spontaneously align themselves into a three-dimensional cubic lattice. propellant tank. When these particles are scattered in high densities, they render radio communication impossible. In most cases, a Lagrangian point is home to more than one group of space colonies. 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. Therefore, it initially seems impossible to install these weapons in mobile suits. 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. A variant of the psycommu system, developed by Anaheim Electronics and experimentally installed in the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam in attempt to build a smaller-scale, more economical psycommu system. 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. It takes a strong pilot to use the system and even then the newtype girl maybe still against the pilot. Minovsky and Dr. Ionesco.
