Codename: MG Not-Nu WIP #2

Active Mass Balance Auto Control (AMBAC), as the name suggests is a system that actively balances the mobile suit around the centre of mass (in the case of an MS this point can shift making the task far more complex). According to Newton's Third Law of Motion; where there is an action there is an equal and opposite reaction, the AMBAC reacts to the imputs of the pilot in a measured way so as to achieve the desired effect. Without this sub-system no MS would ever function.

When a rifle is fired there is recoil (that is the action) to account for that AMBAC could move a binder slightly or engage a vernier for a slight moment to keep the MS in place (the reaction).

Every time the pilot moves one of the limbs on an MS it will result in a moment of inertia (the action, think of a applying a force at a tangent to a wheel), the AMBAC will make an identical moment of inertia in the opposite direction (reaction) to effectively balance the MS.

So here is what I have come up with, based loosely on Hazel II's Tri-Booster configuration, which allows the boosters to be moved quite freely. In addition to the purge-able single fixed Shield Booster and the moveable fuel pods.

For some reason I've gotten bored with standard vernier setups and decided to venture into something a little more unique in appearance and functionality, I based these loosely on SCRAM jets with an open combustion chamber and no obvious vernier bells.

It is all extremely rough looking blocky chunks right now, I'll be working on it some more in the future as well.

The conversation at Gundam Eclipse has inspired me to build a few more systems rooted thoroughly in real world physics, which will all be very fun to explain.
