The Technology of Eureka seveN

I've watched some anime, and I think Eureka seveN is pretty darn good.

It gives a nice explanation to most of it's technology (excluding lasers) and provides an entertaining and deep plot as well.

Let's start with the surfing mechas.

The Nirvash TypeZERO, M-520 Monsoonos, and even the Terminus Series all use something called a "Ref board". Officially, it should be called "Reflection Board" because it uses something called reflection film.

Reflection film is a product of the native animal called Skyfish. The Skyfish are able to fly in the air which contains trapar.

Trapar is short for Transparent Light Particles, in truth they are more of magnetically charged particles that are invisible to the naked eye.

Now, to make reflection film, Skyfish are killed and their skin is used to make the film. The film is probably actually a bio-organic skin that builds an electromagnetic field that repulses or reflects the electromagnetic waves in the air allowing lift and propulsion.

With the combination of trapar waves and a ref board, a human should be able to "ride" it as if it were a surfboard and achieve lift.

If your wondering where trapar comes from, it's a biological byproduct of the scub coral that engulfs the planet that Eureka seveN is set on.

If your also wondering why the refboards (and the airborne battleships) have green streaks. It is probably a visualization of high-energy trapar waves, much how like we can see thunder as streaks of white the Trapar waves probably have a color based on the visible light section of the light spectrum.
