Graviton Projector Equipped Brassiere

The GPEB is a brassiere sold by the Frontier Service Corporation beginning in YE 40. A complete GPEB costs between 100 and 30 KS at a retailer depending on complexity and the individual graviton projector pads costs 15 KS a piece. They are available for purchase from the FSCorp Catalog website or upon request from an authorized retailer. This low price has secured the company's place in the market and has been patented through every legal means needed for the Yamataian and Nepleslian markets.

History

Designed late YE 39 during the implementation of gravity altering systems into FMS technology YE 40, GPEB systems began sweeping across the Kikyo Sector by storm. With the most recent integration of GPD technology into the boots and gloves of the FMS Powered Suit the technology for gravity manipulation was finally miniaturized enough to be integrated into common articles of clothing. For the first time in history, gravity's oppression of well endowed women could finally be countered at the source!

Design

GPEB is available in several varieties. The small size of the graviton projectors woven into the brassiere are not physically capable of total gravitational negation, however, by generating a field of negative, or ‘upward moving’ gravitons through the wearers bosom many of the positive, or ‘downward moving’ gravitons responsible for creating weight can be negated. This causes the overall weight of a bosom to not only be supported, but to be lighter from the start. This means the structural, load bearing components of the brassiere have less weight to support and thus puts less weight on the wearer's back.

The primary reason the GPEB is not capable of inducing total weightlessness is due to power constraints. The inconvenience of a battery pack would cause discomfort and would make the stick-on variant impossible to use. Instead the GPEB uses the wearer's own body heat for power, which only takes a few minutes to reach the operating temperature of 33°C and performance increases as the cups become warmer. Alternatively a Neko could user her electrostatic field to power the device.

The individual graviton projection pads can be purchased separatly in either a patch or sticker and must be within a millimeter of the skin for body heat to activate the device. This is ideal for applications in backless, strapless dresses or swimsuits as the components are sealed and waterproofed. These devices can also be added to any existing brassiere or corset and if support is desired without a brassiere or equivalent the pads can be applied directly to the skin with a light, dermatologically safe adhesive. It should be noted that this does not create ideal support and will not completly prevent sagging. Furthermore, if the pads themselves are not supported the lightened bosom may tend to continue in motion after the wearer has stopped and stands to cause an embarrassing pendulum or ‘swaying’ effect. Users must use good sense when choosing attire.

A sufficiently heavy bosom may tend to require the pads to be doubled up, that is when two pads are used in a single cup. This is only recommended for severe cases as the devices can potentially cause a ‘floating’ effect if the load they bear is not heavy enough to counter the negative gravitons, even causing an insufficiently secured bosom to experience zero-g causing severe pendulum effect and ‘swaying’ or even upward travel that exceeds the the coverage of the wearer's clothing. Buyers are cautioned before hand that this must be used with caution and assumes no responsibility for damages associated with wardrobe malfunctions unrelated to a manufacturing defect.

Usage

The first step is to put on the GPEB like any brassiere. It should fit comfortably snug and support the bosom before the Graviton projectors activate to achieve optimal results.

It is available in most clothing retailers in Yamataian and Nepleslian territories and can be shipped most anywhere upon request. It is also available to the women actively serving in the SAoY for half off any order.
