BUILD THE SECOND GENERATION ARC REACTOR

Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. This is the second arc reactor I made. I did not completely copy the prop in themovie. I created some new designs.

Step 1: THE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT

This is the electric circuit plan of this arc reactor. I used SMDs as the light resources. The circuit is simple but the form is pretty complicated.

How did you mount it on yourself? how did you power it? Where did you get the smds?
Sorry for all the questions. thnks

[Kyling Zhang]

I just made a hole on my vest and attach the reactor to the vest. I used battery as the power supply. I got smd via Taobao.
Thanks for your support!

.thanks a lot for ur help.:D.here's mine:

[Kyling Zhang]

very nice job! it looks fantastic!

this is the coolest arc reactor that i have seen someone make and it is so thin also how much did it cost

[jondziok]

What SMDs did you use and what was the power schematic for your design? Looking to buy SMDs in bulk but I don't want to get the wrong ones

[Aethereal]

I used 1206 Ultra Bright White SMD LEDs when I built mine - to be honest, unless you're used to using really tiny electronics parts (and I MEAN really tiny), don't go any smaller than a 1206. They run off pretty small batteries - I've been using watch batteries with mine (sorry, can't remember quite which one off the top of my head) and they last a long time.

Hope this helps.

how did u make hole in u chest i want to make this alone plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz fast reply me

[Aethereal]

In the movie, they made a latex/silicone cast of RDJ's chest, which is why he looks a little odd whenever he's shirtless in the first movie (they ironed out the process a bit more for the second movie and Avengers), and they cut a hole in that - that's how Pepper sticks her fingers in his chest and the full size arc reactor fits in it.

Hope that helps (I know your post was about a year ago, sorry!)

[Chirpoff]

The "real" one was approx. 3-4in. tall. This one is about one inch. Much easier to hide under a shirt. There's no need to cut a hole in yourself. I highly recommend against it. :)

BTW, awesome Arc Reactor, KZ! :D

[Biggimac]

Take a knife and cut a hole in your chest!!!!!!!

[heavyfire88]

Thanks mate ! It just worked so well !

[Project D]

A very sharp cookie cutter would make a much cleaner circular cut.

[Biggimac]

Do it just as you like, just be careful and don't hurt yourself!!
And don't come crying to me if you do.

[Project D]

Wait...when did we go from joking to serious?

[Biggimac]

When were we joking??? ;)

[ENGA-Freedom-Fighter]

Can I have a list of materials...What power source do you use? Battery? How many Volts?

[creepyassasinn2]

Can anyone send me a precise list of material and how many volt batterie

[lkoribský]

can you pls send list of material and how many volt battery do you use or what source of power? thx

[dsingh11]

what are the materials ?

[lanhesh]

Could you also send me a list of supplies and what type they need to be. thanks

[The Manufacturer X]

What materials u use could u send me the list please :D

[Alex Jalland]

please could you inbox me a copy of the materials needed.

Cheers

[aal-khamees]

what materials did you use???

[thejevans]

palladium

[Sid2121]

Looking forward to an update with a list of ingredients, but still a very good one.

[cpotoso]

Nice, but what *is* the device?? What does it do?

[Aethereal]

It's an arc reactor prop, from the Iron Man movie. It just lights up and looks pretty, but in the movie it powers the Iron Man suit and keeps Tony Stark alive.

Incredible replica piece though xD

[waterboyf5]

it looks cool

[darknessfalls]

if you havnt seen IronMan 1 then heres a summary of the device: Tony Stark gets kidnapped while doing a weapons demonstration in Afghanistan. the ARC reactor he makes is connected to an electromagic and locked in place on his chest as a way to keep the shrapnel in him (from an explosion when he was taken) from moving owards his vital organs. throughout the first and second movies he is making new ones which are higher power or better for his body. Hope this helps, this is a replica of the reactor Stark makes

[bschran]

this would be an awsome instructable if there where better diagrams (readable) and if there were parts/ step by step instructions. thanks

[super knex builder]

plz help me! I understand this not, I need a list of parts, & more detailed instructions, plz email me @ [e-mail] thank you!

[super knex builder]

the instructions r prety vague, & u need a list of parts, plz post 1! Prety good though, best iv seen

[fiqih_88]

what the function of the coil kyling?

[akassan]

i would like to buy one of these from you, pleeeeeeeeeease

[SitrusSallyy]

Hello! (:
Haha I want to make this for my boyfriend for our 2 year, but he is the master of creating things, so any tips on how to make it great considering I have never really built anything like this before? And also now to not fail miserably... Thanks!

[Kyling Zhang]

build him someting else, like knit a pair of gloves for him, it is what girls do in China, which can help you win his heart! good luck with you!

[aandrious]

what materials did you use???
