Drive Surge System

The Burst Mode System is a function programmed into the Storm Drives that greatly increases drive's output in Mobile Suit Storm Gundam

Description & Characteristics
Originally the Storm Drives were built with a limiter incorporated into the system to ensure pilot safety. This meant that the drive could only function at a maximum of 90%, this being deemed the highest safe limit (not including mass production models). During testing it was found that between 90% and 100% the particle generation rate increased exponentially, leading to a block being put into the control system after the drive could not be controlled safely.

Notes & Trivia

 * The Burst Mode function is similar to the Trans-Am System, the major difference being that the Burst Mode System does not increase mobility or speed.
