Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 1,400 kW Propulsion: rocket thrusters: output unknown; Minovsky craft system: output unknown. These devices, distributed across the machine's outer surface, are used for changing direction and performing fine movements - or attitude control, in technical jargon. 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. An acronym for HYPER ANIMOSITY DETECT ESTIMATE SYSTEM. Technical specifications: + Pilot: Anna Hindenburg + Classification: Mass produced prototype Gundam- Special Operations Multipurpose Mobile suit + Height: 71.32 ft tall + Weight: 67.2 Tons + Developed From: MSZ-010 ZZ Gundam & RGM-96X Jesta + Armor material: Titanium alloy ceramic composite, and Gundarium alloy + 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. A highly efficient propulsion system used for moving asteroids, space colonies, and large vessels like Inter-Planetary Helium Carriers. While functionally similar to the psycommu system, the bio-computer places less strain on its human operator. Their research was devoted to the development of a nuclear fusion reactor. 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.

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. 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. According to the Gundam Century, MS encyclopedia 2003 and Gundam Officials, the Minovsky Physics all started from the invention of the then seemingly impossible idea of a nuclear fusion reactor that has a higher theoretical efficiency than classical physics, due to the Minovsky particle. Although this could be viewed as following the Star Wars trend, nothing similar has started before the 1981 publishing of Gundam Century[2]. Bandai (with its branch Sunrise) noticed the tradition and has hired writers to write articles for other Gundam series, too. 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. When these particles are scattered in high densities, they render radio communication impossible. 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. Universal Century technology refers to technology created in the fictional Universal Century timeline of the Gundam anime media mix. 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.

An I-field is used to deflect enemy mega particle beams. 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. 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. In most cases, a Lagrangian point is home to more than one group of space colonies. 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. When mobile suits come into direct physical contact with each other, or with other vehicles, sound can be transmitted between them via vibrations in their outer armor. 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.

Within the next few years, they identified the cause: a new elementary particle generated by the helium-3 reaction on the inner wall of the reactor, which was named the Minovsky particle or "M" particle. Ultracompact Minovsky Fusion Reactor 0 [6], Prototypes for the linear seat were installed in the RX-78NT-1 Gundam "Alex" and the RX-78GP03S Gundam "Stamen". 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. The Minovsky Drive allowed the ship to reach incredible speeds, such that it could travel between Earth and Jupiter over the course of a few weeks instead of the months it takes other ships. 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. In addition to their main rocket engines, mobile suits and other spacecraft are also equipped with secondary rockets called vernier thrusters, derived from the "apogee kick motors" used to position artificial satellites into geosynchronous orbit around the Earth. A traditional space suit used for extravehicular activities, so named to distinguish it from mobile suits. The idea is simple: "If four limbs can maneuver the unit better than none, why not equip them with 5 or more?" This is the primary reason for the birth of the Zeon close-combat weapon: the mobile suit. A cousin to the tail binder is the wing binder, equipped on most transformable mobile suits with waverider mode as wings. 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 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. He thus was raised around politics and science the whole of his life. 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. More sophisticated varieties are equipped with small maneuvering verniers, allowing them to move in a realistic manner and register on infra-red sensors. These technologies and their theory are now influential to factual academic research[citation needed]. Marasai equips itself with Gundarium Alloy armor that improves overall defense, more excellent sensor range, more significant acceleration, and a more powerful Minovsky-type ultracompact fusion reactor. 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. 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. A mind-machine interface, based on the psycommu system used by Newtype, which can be used even by normal humans. 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. 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. Furthermore, if the pilot wears a compatible normal suit, the suit itself can be affixed to the seat, with no need for seatbelts. 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. 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. [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. To use the system, a direct link to all limbs was needed, thus the pilot has to be a quadruple amputee, either through misfortune or volunteer surgery. During the One Year War, there were many cases of pilots being wounded in the cockpit while their mobile suits remained relatively intact.
