Iron Man 3 Arc Reactor.

As has been said in my previous Arc reactor instructables, I love Iron man.

first Arc http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-iron-mans-arc-reactor/

Whiplash Arc: http://www.instructables.com/id/Whiplash-Arc-reactor-MK-II/

iron man 2 arc: http://www.instructables.com/id/Iron-man-2-Arc-reactor-VII/

So with the imminent release or the third instalment of the iron man movies i decided i would give the arc featured in the trailers and posters a go.

The Arc i have made is made and designed is based wholly on the one shot, so i have no idea on how deep the arc is, ive used my past builds on the other arcs to guess the levels and design of this arc.

So here goes :)

How did you get this to light up? Did you jsut illuminate it from behind? I'd like to make one that lights up by itself :) Welld one thugh, it's awesoem!

it lights up using an EL panel at the back of all the parts.

Actually, form the photo you based on, this is not the reactor. The photo is from the chest assembly in the armor, the thing that draws the power from the reactor. But your project is very nice looking and I like it very much. I wish I had access to cutters to make one like this.

Yeah i know that but i didn't think "iron man 3 uni-beam" had as much draw as "iron man 3 arc reactor." :)

I_StarkGuy in reply to backwards lambMar 14, 2013. 2:14 PM

I think that the reactor will be the same triangle shaped, what do you think?

backwards lamb (author) in reply to I_StarkGuyMar 14, 2013. 4:48 PM

Yeah the arc will be a palladium core arc but it will be a different design as he always changed the design. The drone suits and war machine will have ones like this in them.

What diameter you think a reactor has?

backwards lamb (author) in reply to I_StarkGuyMar 22, 2013. 4:02 AM

i dont know. depends on what you scale it to. i think my designs have a size of around 90mm

I_StarkGuy in reply to backwards lambMar 22, 2013. 7:20 AM

90mm looks like the original design. I'll try it. As you can see from my pic, I already made a reactor, but it overheated and the diodes fused. I'm redesigning it.
