Jaeger Technology and Engineering Concepts

Perry, an electrical engineer, reviews the engineering accuracy of the movie Pacific Rim. He discusses the Jaeger program, neural load challenges, and the two-pilot system. Perry explains the engineering details, including the use of alloys and the differences between digital and analog systems, especially in the context of EMP effects. He concludes with a positive review of the movie's engineering portrayal.

What inspired Perry to watch Pacific Rim?

• His love for engineering

• His profession as a movie critic

• His fascination with AI

• His childhood interest in Gundam and Godzilla

Why was a two-pilot system implemented in Jaegers?

• To increase the speed of the Jaeger

• To reduce the neural load on a single pilot

• To make the Jaeger more compact

• To save on resources

What existing technology is similar to the Jaeger pilot interface?

• Google Glass

• PlayStation VR

• Nintendo Switch

• Xbox Kinect

What is a potential reason for not using remote control for Jaegers?

• Time delay in signal transmission

• Lack of skilled operators

• Difficulty in manufacturing remote controls

• High cost of remote control technology

What happens to the signal strength as the distance from the node increases?

• It fluctuates randomly

• It decreases

• It increases

• It remains constant

What do the lines on the floor in the engineering plant indicate?

• Where to place equipment

• Where it is safe to walk

• Where to park vehicles

• Where to store materials

Why are alloys stronger than pure metals?

• They are lighter

• They have a regular molecular structure

• They are cheaper to produce

• They have an irregular molecular structure

What does EMP stand for?

• Electromagnetic Pulse

• Electric Magnetic Power

• Electro Mechanical Power

• Energy Magnetic Pulse

How do analog circuits react to an EMP?

• They might turn on or experience a brief glitch

• They get completely fried

• They shut down permanently

• They explode

What is the main advantage of digital signals over analog signals?

• They are cheaper to produce

• They are lossless and have perfect signal transference

• They are easier to understand

• They use less power
