Where is the Gravity coming from?

In all the ships there is artificial gravity, but what is making it. You never see anything that could be generating gravity, what is causign this, cause it sure ant no cylinder spinning around. Its just weird, and for those of us out there... we dont see this in the film but it still happens.

 

It's the same technology that they use in repusler lifts.

 

oh so the same tech they use for teleporting?

 

jk

 

"It's the same technology that they use in repusler lifts."

... repulsors??

 

You know, the same technology that allows Luke's speeder to defy gravity. They just reverse it or something.

 

It's the same technology that holds Leia's breasts in place.

 

anti jiggling tape?

 

By the way...

...I'm an anti-anti-jiggling tape/pro-jiggling purist.

 

On topic, I often wondered about this. I can understand a gravity generator in the Falcon, that's going to be essential. But I wondered about the time and effort of putting one into an X-Wing. When you see them jiggling (stifles giggle) around in the cockpit, it's clear that X-Wings have them too.

But I suppose if it's as easy as putting a repulsorlift into the ship interior, then that's fair enough.

but how can anti jiggling tape defy gravity on a space cruiser? its just glue on oneside

 

X-wings pilots have their inertial compensators 'dialed back' (slightly powered down) so they can feel the G-forces of their maneuvers and get a 'feel' for their flying.

 

"...I'm an anti-anti-jiggling tape/pro-jiggling purist." lol

Yes, but it's licked on the other side, and then applied with love.

 

unless that is what we hear when we hear stormtroopers walking in the Falcon. its like a metal claking sound. they use the anti jiggling tape like velcro. its just that strong. strong enough to keep boobs from bouncing and strong enough to keep a grown man on the deck of a ship.

 

maybe they use those suction cups like the ones that hold stuff the the wall, maybe its some of those on their shoes. yeah.

 

The Empire took advantage of this weakness of the hyperdrive and developed artificial gravity well generators. These devices send out powerful waves that disrupt the mass lines in space, thereby simulating the presence of a large stellar body such as an asteroid or a planet. The presence of such simulated mass prevents ships in the area from engaging their hyperdrives, and also drops ships already in hyperspace back to realspace.

The G-7x generators developed by Sienar Fleet Systems are the main weapon of the Immobilizer 418, the first of the Empire's Interdictor-class heavy cruisers. The Empire continued research into refining this technology, making it more powerful and more compact. The last generation of Super-class Star Destroyers, including the Eclipse and the Sovereign featured gravity well generators.

While under optimal circumstances, gravity well generators are effective weapons, they do have their limitations. Powering up a gravity well generator takes 30 seconds. While it can be shut off with no delay, it takes the capacitors 40 seconds to shunt the power and completely recycle. Once a gravity well is placed, it is difficult to move, as it is subject to similar laws of inertia as actual gravitic bodies. The great energy output of a gravity well projector also affects the movement and handling of the interdicting cruiser.

Aboard the first Death Star, a working prototype of an incredibly powerful gravity well projector was nearing the final stages of development. The device, small enough to be carried by two men, required a power source 10 times more powerful than that of a Star Destroyer's main tractor beam. The resultant gravity well, however, was immense -- much larger than those generated by the G-7x.

This prototype projector survived the destruction of the Death Star, and floated for a time within a large chunk of debris. This debris became the center-point of the floating Ugor junkyard in the Paradise system. The gravity well projector was somehow reactivated, and became the center of a vast junk asteroid field. The Ugors, who worship trash, referred to the Death Star fragment -- the new center of their system -- as the Holiest of Holies. The projector itself was known as the Prime Mover. The gravity well projector was removed by a Rebel strike force assisting a Squib mission to disrupt the Ugor trash-hauling racket. With the removal of the projector, the Paradise system fell apart.

Reports of a naturally occurring gravity well generator led the Empire to the Sedri system. There, the bizarre lifeform known as Golden Sun created a gravity well effect that made it appear as if Sedri was a star, not a planet. Research into this naturally occurring effect ceased when the Golden Sun was freed by a Rebel strike team averting a civil war among the native Sedrians.

A vast array of gravity well generators aided in regulating traffic into and out of the Imperial Deep Core during the resurrected Emperor's campaign against the New Republic. These generators formed the backbone of the Imperial Hyperspace Security Net.

Fourteen years after the Battle of Endor, a group of would-be conquerors identified as the Sacorran Triad used the ancient Centerpoint Station to create a vast interdiction field covering the entire Corellian system. As such, Centerpoint Station is the largest gravity well projector on record.

During the Corellian Crisis, New Republic allies on Bakura perfected the hyperwave inertial momentum sustainer (HIMS) system -- the first effective method of countering an interdiction field. The hyperwave sustainer used a gravitic sensor that provides a fast cut-off for a ship's normal hyperdrive, saving it from damage caused by entering a gravity well. It simultaneously generates a static hyperspace bubble. The bubble provides no thrust for the ship, but sustains the ship's presence in hyperspace while its forward momentum carries it along.

I guess that answers my qwetion.
