[9] Some older mobile suits, such as the RGM-79SC GM Sniper Custom, were also refitted with linear seats by the time of the Gryps War.[10]. AMBAC is by its nature limited to re-orienting the unit about its center of mass, and is not a substitute for propulsion. In some cases weapons and shields are also integrated into these manipulators, but their primary functions are carrying equipment and manipulating objects. For this reason, it was adopted for use on mobile suits as the standard power plant. The joints of Zeon mobile suits are driven by a fluid pulse system, which used a pulse converter to turn the energy produced by the atomic reactor into pulses of pressure within a fluid. This unlimited source of electricity supplies the power needed to run an MS' avionics and life support systems, as well as the actuators and motors control the MS' joints. Perfect Grade, Master Grade, High Grade Model Instruction Manual, Bandai. Furthermore, Minovsky also developed the Fluid Pulse system, which utlized the Minovsky Particles to drive the Mobile Suit's system, which allows active attitude control possible. Major lunar cities like Von Braun are equipped with laser ignition stations for boosting transport ships into space. A lightweight type of normal suit designed for combat pilots. 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". Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 1,400 kW Propulsion: rocket thrusters: output unknown; Minovsky craft system: output unknown. The machine was codenamed "Icarus" by SNRI who observed the machine fall into the atmosphere of Earth, but it was later discovered that the mobile suit had used its "wings of light" as a shield to protect itself during reentry. However, it should not be considered a complete brain clone of Amuro, as the bio brains of Dogatie and Callisto's Shadow were. 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. 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. If controlled, the particles can form fringes of different widths and further interfere with electromagnetic waves of shorter wavelengths. However, due to its nature of ablating when defending against great heat, ABC can only tolerate a few hits to the same spot. An advanced type of psycommu system developed by the Crossbone Vanguard commander known as Iron Mask, and installed in the mobile armor XMA-01 Rafflesia. 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. The AMBAC system also allows the center of mass to shift outside of the body. When the propellant is consumed, the tank can be discarded to reduce the mobile suit's weight. This reduces the heat from the thermonuclear reaction and reduces the need for coolant and shielding for the fusion reactors. The bio-sensor could also have a rather surprising side effect when the pilot was mentally and emotionally focused enough (usually when angry or upset) to cause the bio-sensor to amplify the power, speed and strength of the mobile suit for a short period of time. [23], 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. 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 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].

Magnet Coating is a special process developed by the Earth Federation in U.C. 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. (Birth of Giant Robot - Latest Robotics Engineering birth from Gundam). It is equipped with high-power thrusters that allow atmospheric flight under gravity for a short period of time. The Gaia Gear is powered by four Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor. The protons and helium ions produced by these fusion reactions can then be directed by a magnetic field to generate thrust. These technologies and their theory are now influential to factual academic research[citation needed]. 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. They became a normal reference of the serial story and attracted publishers to publish books on. [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]. Which one you would use if you're to make your own mobile suit/armor/doll? The linear rail contains actuators, which are controlled by a computer to mitigate the g-force from acceleration and impact. 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.

[Source] Doctor Minovsky went on to develop a functional thermonuclear fusion reactor. The tail stabilator continues to be used on MS developed after U.C.0087, an example is the RGZ-91 Re-GZ. A handheld device which helps humans get around in zero-gravity environments like spacecraft hangars and space colony docks. All Zeon funnel-equipped units have the ability to recharge funnels, but the Earth Federation Forces were very slow in adopting the technology. Most colonies in the Universal Century are O'Neill "Island 3" type colony cylinders, yet a few early built Bernal sphere (Island 1) and Stanford torus colonies are still in function, but most are changed to space stations or discarded. 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. 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. Such alloys have very high tensile strength and toughness (even at extreme temperatures), light weight, extraordinary corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. With the development of a new generation of highly compact mobile suits after U.C. Gundam Science, Gundam Century Renewal Version, ISBN / 4-87777-028-3, Kisousha, 15th Mar, 2000. The shock balloon, an inflatable cushion similar to the airbags in modern automobiles, provides additional protection in the event of violent deceleration. The semi-transparent coating is not useful in countering anything other than lasers, thus a new technology has to be developed. [18] Within the non-UC Gundam series, the AMBAC system term is also used in Mobile Suit Gundam 00. A mind-machine interface, based on the psycommu system used by Newtype, which can be used even by normal humans. While functionally similar to the psycommu system, the bio-computer places less strain on its human operator. These technological settings have also since influenced a lot of anime and manga to have their own technological background to a certain degree. 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. 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. This system could not be miniaturized to fit on a mobile suit until after U.C.0100. but it included more advanced technology like built-in Minovsky Flight Units. These are commuter trains which travel on rails along the outside of a space colony, running from station to station just like the underground rail systems of terrestrial cities. 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. The image displayed on this screen is a computer simulation constructed from the cameras distributed around the mobile suit's exterior. This system yielded a higher operating speed than hydraulics, and lower weight and greater structural simplicity than electric motors. These decoy balloons are designed to mimic mobile suits, asteroids, and even warships. 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. Another bio brain is fed the combat data of Amuro Ray's RX-78-2 Gundam, which allows it to pilot the Amakusa with Amuro's skill. The nuclear equation was: (energy released: 18.35 MeV) [6], Prototypes for the linear seat were installed in the RX-78NT-1 Gundam "Alex" and the RX-78GP03S Gundam "Stamen". The mono-eye is mounted on rails, and can slide back and forth to cover a wide field of view. 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. 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. 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. This is the primary reason for the birth of the Zeon close-combat weapon: the mobile suit. 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. Since the proton is positively charged, it can easily be trapped within a magnetic field. 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. Some variants of the tail stabilator are equipped with built-in vernier thrusters and can thus further improve a mobile suit's manoeuvrability. Should one be found, the NT-D System activates and turns the Unicorn Gundam into its "Destroy mode", improving its stats overall and allowing it to take control of Newtype weaponry used by others and turn them against them.
