So what operates the limbs? You know that astronauts use their own bodies so thats contraction and extension muscles. So for mechs what does that?
Then reference a rollercoaster ride. The force is coming from your back when you go downwards. Hold out your arms so its a T shape (keeping in mind safety). Do you find you need effort to bring your arms forward? Do you feel a stretch on your upper arms? What is keeping your arms from flying off?
Magnify this force by several times. What is keeping the mech's arms from flying off? Because this is not a roller coaster where you're seated, ask yourself the same question on the legs.
As for the 2nd law, more force = ?. What is "propulsive efficiency"?
The limbs are controlled by the pilot operating a computer to instruct the mobile suit what to do. obviously... that question was like asking how do I turn left when flying an airplane? you use the godamn controls
What's keeping my arms from flying off is the joints connecting the bones. Similar to how mobile suits have a metal exoskeleton and then armour is added onto it. Of course I wouldn't just screw some nails in together on a plate of metal, I would attach the limbs with powerful, but flexible joints. Keep in mind space is in a 0 gravity setting, there is no air drag. Moving into extremely fast speeds does not mean that a mobile suit's arms and legs will be ripped apart due to force.
The second law says nothing about "lulz heavier machine = it moves slower". the heavier an object is, the more force it will take to push it. overall propulsive efficiency η is the efficiency, in percent, with which the energy contained in a vehicle's propellant is converted into useful energy. There is no gravitational pull in space. A mobile suit's engines will be attached onto the back, and it has to push a relatively light machine (light for the size of the engine) in a 0 gravity environment.
Eh you don't get it do you. The controls control something. What is that thing? Lets make this easier. What is the thing in a gundam that does the same thing as your muscles?
Joints connecting the bones? You really don't think through this do you? The joints are your weaknesses. Ever notice how some wrestling/martial arts moves are aimed at your joints? Same thing applies to mechs
As as for your "powerful, but flexible joints" please name the technology that will do this? And please use REAL LIFE tech.
As for your arms flying off due to gravity,*facepalm*. Please google "torque" then get back to me on it.
Eh no gravity does not mean F=ma changes 1 bit. Your mass does not change at all. Gravity comes into play only when flying off form land or near bodies that are massive enough to affect you (in this case is not considered for simplification). Acceleration requires deceleration (yes Newton again) so how are you going to handle immediate acceleration with immediate deceleration to pull off those stunts found in gundam? How are your mech's joints going to handle it?
And please quoting wiki wholesale just shows you don't even know what "propulsive efficiency" means. Seriously you're coming off as someone who does not even bother to think and get angry when people call you on it.
I'm not an engineer but I think there is potential for this kind of technology, that would take many years and millions of dollars in investment, but that's not the point. We are discussing if this technology is available in the mass effect universe if you read the OP, and I am trying to justify how gundams would not be totally impractical.
A gundam is just as complicated as a human body. It is built on a mechanical exoskeleton (Carbon nanofibers maybe?). There will be thousands if not hundreds of thousands of seperate joints and latices to connect the entire body together. If humans can walk upright, lets try and use our imaginations (with the mass effect universe technology) and presume that a larger machine could follow a similar design. The "muscles" of the gundam are analogous to human muscles and are made of titanium or any other strong but temperature resistant metals.
as for torque, the AMBAC takes care of that, when a gundam raises left arm to his chest then swing it out to the side, the resulting inertia of the arm movement would result in the rest of his body turning the other direction in order to conserve angular momentum. Then when the motion of the arm stopped, the rotation of the body would also stop. The AMBAC system coordinates movements and micro-movements precisely, allowing a continuous balance and stability without expending reaction mass
copypasta wikipedia saves me time. why should I argue with angry white boy?
Also I think I've already justified gundams and propulsive effeciency in my previous posts (I
clearly do not know what Im talking about right?)
Really though, Japan made a simple mobile suit that can move its arms and walk slowly. In real life, this technology would be pretty damn expensive, but give them a few more years and some money and they could pull it off.
