Gravity Machines, or Gravity Device,^[1] are devices invented by Dr. Brief to help the Z Fighters train under more powerful gravity in order to become stronger and raise their power levels. The machines allow the user to train under Earth's gravity multiplied by a certain number.

OverviewEdit

The first machine was used to help Goku train in his spaceship for the battle on Namek, and could go anywhere between 1 to 100 times Earth's gravity. The machine went haywire at one point while Goku was training under 50 times Earth's gravity, causing it to jump up to 100 times Earth's gravity by itself, forcing Goku to master it to the point where he didn't even feel it. This remarkable coincidence helped Goku greatly while battling the Ginyu Force. It, along with the ship, were destroyed when Namek exploded.

During the Garlic Jr. Saga, an upgraded version of the machine was created to help train Vegeta. According to the Daizenshuu, this more powerful version could go up to 300 times Earth's gravity. It is destroyed in the Trunks Saga during training.

During his battle with Pui Pui, Vegeta revealed that he used a third Gravity Machine to train under even higher gravity (in the video game Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury, it is said that he trained under exactly 450 times Earth's gravity) and stated that Pui Pui was foolish to think that his home planet of Zoon, which had 10 times gravity, could help him win.

Video game appearancesEdit

Goku uses the Gravity Machine inside his spaceship to train during his journey to Namek in Dragon Ball Z II: Gekishin Freeza, Dragon Ball Z: Legend of the Super Saiyan, and Dragon Ball Z: Goku Gekitōden. He must train under 20, 50, and 100 times Earth's gravity in Gekishin Freeza and under 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 100 times Earth's gravity in Legend of the Super Saiyan.

The Gravity Chamber appears as a training room in Super Dragon Ball Z.
