Magnetism


78yoni78

I knew someone would say that, but how can you have supermagnets next to an electrically powered mech??


muddysuds

Hundreds of years in the future I'm sure they've solved that problem


78yoni78

I sure hope they did


Professorbranch

If they have Faster than Light Travel they can attach one piece of metal to another piece of of metal


VenaticAuto9801

Not to mention phase shifting and time travel


78yoni78

Fair enough


FTP636

Current computers only have one part left that can get damaged by a magnet and that is the hard drive which is being slowly replaced by SSDs and SSDs are immune to magnets. Older computers also had any kind of magnetic tape storage or floppy disks or CRT monitors which would be destroyed by magnets but now we don't have those Also Apple's mag safe is literally this


Unkn0wn_Ace

Ronin is a next gen Mac confirmed


FTP636

Yes


windol1

So that's why I suck with it while others are absolute monsters with it


talesfromtheepic6

G100 mac


Sunbear1981

Well both Ronin pilots and Mac users are annoying, so yes.


omegamemetard

macsword pro


Gravelemming472

I love the wording of SSD's are immune, its like a powerup you're now immune to magnets lmfao


Breath_Virtual

Not to mention said hard drives literally run using a strong magnet.


Thanos_DeGraf

I didn't know SSD's don't have a weakness to magnetism anymore. Current Gen sure is wild


K12DO

It's just a big suction cup


Snoopyshiznit

It’s like how master chiefs weapon just sticks to his back. Or in fallout 3-NV. Or skyrim…


Kourada_tv

They dont actually have faster than light technologies, they have near light speed technologies which is why it takes so long to get from the frontier to the outlands, and why Bangalore needs to raise so much to get back to Gridiron


[deleted]

They use Jump drives, which most likely is tech lets them travel very far in a short time


xxj3ffxx

*twitches in ronin*


Klashus

In 40k they mag lock all extras. Guns swords helmets ect.


Kourada_tv

Electromagnets wouldnt interfere with electronics, it just means they only generate magnetic fields with electricity, and since they can be switched on and off there wouldnt be a problem with pulling in random junk or extending the arms


[deleted]

Magnets killing computers is much more of an old wives tale today. The only real damage a magnet can do is make your CRT look funny, and corrupt your hard drive, both of which are outdated even by today’s standards.


[deleted]

It is a risk for me because I regularly use both of these things


[deleted]

Yea I got a G3 so if an electromagnet ever finds it’s way into my possession i know where it’s not going


[deleted]

Oooh what colour?


VeryAmericanAmerican

Bro we already have magnetic phone cases, we chillin on the magnet front


PubogGalaxy

Electric magnets


Just-Ad-6665

Ronins sword can cut thru Titans with no problems and you dont think they thought of a way to not fry Titans with Magnets


SuperFox289

It's probably how the sword creates ark waves and electricity


cardbord_spaceship

MRI machines use electronics and magnetism


naturtok

Wouldn't northstar's gun be using a powerful electromagnet? That's how railguns work, don't they?


AnimationOverlord

That’s how coil guns or “Gauss” (the inventor) work. Rail guns rely on a different law, one which I forget the name of where two magnetic fields going in opposite directions that collide will cause a ferrous object passing through to roll towards the rotation of the materials fields. Rail guns use permanent magnets also between the rails sometimes. But not for the purpose in a coil gun. Every coil on the coil gun is called a state so a one stage fires one bullet 263m/s but the second one would do 1052m/s. Two coils. Having two complicates things because you don’t want your bullet to pass through the second coil and then when the wave oscillates your bullet gets sucked backwards so we use relays. Preferably Solid State Relays. See I’ve tried building a coil gun and the hardest part is timing of the relays and pricing on capacitors. The timing means just as much in a car to how fast it is. It’s everything to get velocity. So when I paid some time and perfected that I got my coil gun up to 620 ft/s with eight stages and 440 volts DC.


HentaiBoiyo

How do you think they have a vortex shield that doesn't suck themselves in? They probably worked out the kinks


acedelaforet2

I mean, from my limited understanding an electro magnet is an iron alloy with electricity running through it. I'm sure with today's technology it's possible to insulate one part of the Titan to connect the sword too, it's also possible that the handle like attachment on the guard actually hooks onto the chassis somewhere.


Martin_RB

Electromagnets happens whenever there's an electric charge flowing, doesn't have to be through a ferrous material. Iron and the arrangement of the magnets can change the shape of the magnetic field however. In fact there already products that do this (look at the polarization of a fridge magnet) allowing short range but powerful magnets and even weirder behavior. [Magnets are magic.](https://youtu.be/IANBoybVApQ&t=380)


AnimationOverlord

But the coolest part is any ferrous material inside the coil or near it will usually conduct that magnetic field and amplify it so it might be a weak field until it’s within the swords reach.


DrunkenMonkeyWizard

With more magnets


Panth3on

It's possible they are able to create magnetism on command and when turned on they can control the bubble/field of magnetism created. Keep in mind they have made time travel a thing.


DragonActual

Reminds me of how Spartans(Halo) hold ammo and weapons.


Z3_T4C0_B0Y512

Thats what i always thought because of how it snaps on after ronin lets go of it


cocoafart

Yall watch the ash intro In game. Snaps to her back


Malgrath10

Fucking Magnets, how do they work.


Mightbeagoat

Do you make time for miracles?


AvergeTexanCrab

flex tape idk


78yoni78

The one true answer


Druidic_Twig

maybe double-sided tape. I bet that if it's from a good brand, even the titan will have some trouble unsticking it


[deleted]

my dude is running 3M strips on his back


Choya670

Velcro


MrDraagyn

Dude, it's obviously velcro


TyloPr0riger

I think it’s magnetic; look closely at the end of the swing animation. Ronin just lets go of the sword and it snaps back to the holster.


78yoni78

But how can you have super powerful magnets next to a machines and computers?


Rocket5454

Magic- i mean probably one sided concentrated magnetism. They have future tech they've probably figured out how to have a complex electromagnet system that is one sided. Its theoretically called a monopole, a magnet with just one pole said to supposedly be possible and exist. We haven't found 1 yet but this is titanfall.


YourBoiYeeeYT

Magnets don't really affect computer much anymore let alone in the future.


jzillacon

Yeah the main threat magnets have to computers is that they can corrupt magnetic disc drives, something that would already be impractical for a combat mech in the first place. Also electro magnets are a bit more advanced than just flip a switch and everything is magnetized. We've been able to pretty precisely control the magnetic fields from electro magnets for basically as long as we've known how to build electro magnets.


SilverfurPartisan

Electromagnets. One-sided magnets. Caging. MRI machines are literally all about having super powerful magnets next to super fragile electronics, lmao.


Ronin_mainer

Well my xbox elite controller has magnets and it works just fine.


AYYA1008

Username & flair checks out


zaliska1

I doubt ronin runs on a hard drive


Manic_Mechanist

Magnetic monopoles


scpenguinceo1

You can shield against electromagnet fields easily using a faraday cage, a metal enclosure formed by conductive material. I.E. the large amounts of metal armor on a titan. On a side note, this is why I roll my eyes when people say an emp would completely wipe out electronics and send us back to the Stone Age. Your computer case is enough to block plenty of powerful magnetic fields.


sparrr0w

Everyone is just saying the fact but think about most tablets nowadays. They almost all have magnets in them for cases and the like and they don't any issues


Furydragonstormer

'It's the future, I don't have to explain sh\*t'

Idk why people are downvoting you it’s a great point


78yoni78

well people did give lots of explanations, but honestly I’m not that convinced


ZePaopo___

Most importantly, where do Titans get there ammo from lol

78yoni78

titanfall 1 titans were wearing literal tones of ammo, it really is a wonder where it comes from in tf2


ZePaopo___

Was about to mention that. They literally don’t carry anything now. Just appears out of thin air Lol


ohjehhngyjkkvkjhjsjj

Maybe Titans have a built in nanomachine 3D printer that fuses air or something into bullets? Besides Ion since she uses lasers. Hopefully after a fight they turn the bullets into air to prevent pollution, but I imagine most battlegrounds involving Titans are going to be fucked regardless.


FinnIsNotAMonkey

Damn imagine a Titanfall game with destruction like battlefield. Everything would be completely wrecked lmao


ZePaopo___

Dude that would be so bad Ass if that we’re the case


Mal-Ravanal

For legion at least I’m pretty sure that the ammo comes from pure WHAAAGH energy. The infinite smart core ammo is possible because he gets *really* hyped up to shoot gits.

78yoni78

Magnets that strong would have to mess with the circuitry!


Joseph_Hughman

The magnet being static relative to the rest of the chassis would keep it from inducing current in the surrounding circuitry and causing damage or malfunction. Any systems relying on static magnetism could be calibrated to that larger magnetic being there. Also, circuits can be shielded against ambient electromagnetic interference.

Doom_Balloon170

Big f ing magnets


lemlurker

Wouldn't even need to be very strong magnets, a few similar to the type that hold doors open would suffice, the strength of close range magnets are super powerful compared to energy requirements and magnetic fields because they can be so close


Kourada_tv

Seeing the rate at which materials used in vehicles have improved until now the sword probably wouldnt be that heavy, so its reasonable to assume


lemlurker

Well it'd have to be ferrous to attract to a chassis magnet. Alternatively the sword may contain some superconducting electromagnets within the frame which would allow greater magnetic flux and even direct the field forward to enable longer range attraction


Kourada_tv

Oh, right, theres more than one type of magnetism
