Are giant robots possible?

This principle also means that a giant human-shaped robot would certainly be stronger than a regular human in terms of the amount of mass it's able to lift, but with regard to its own body mass the giant robot is actually weaker. None of this is to say that giant robots are necessarily impossible.

Are Battle mechs possible?

Weisman envisioned the Battletech mechs being powered by a fusion reactor, but given that current fusion reactors are about the size of a warehouse, this is unlikely. Those in Pacific Rim used conventional nuclear (fission) reactors, which do provide a high power output, but there would be concerns over safety.

Is Japan building a Gundam?

Japan Has Built A 59-Feet Gundam Robot That Walks And Levitates In The Air. Japanese engineers have made a giant Gundam in Yokohama's Chinatown in the Yamashita Futo harbour. The area has also been named the 'Gundam Factory'. The giant robot is roughly 59 feet tall and has been made to scale.

How much would a real Gundam cost?

The Japanese Science Portal has specced out and priced a giant mecha robot, the Gundam.

What are Gundams powered by?

Generator. A device which converts the energy of a mobile suit's thermonuclear reactor into electrical power. Electricity can be obtained directly from the reactor core via magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), and the heat emitted by the reactor can also be converted to electrical power using turbines.

Is Pacific Rim real?

The Pacific Rim comprises the lands around the rim of the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Basin includes the Pacific Rim and the islands in the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Rim roughly overlaps with the geologic Pacific Ring of Fire.
