how to make the most movie accurate arc reactor EVER!

its here it is finally here the mother of all ARC REACTORS the god of mini arc reactor heaven the mark 1 movie accurate replica instructable is HERE!!!!!!! enjoy.

Step 1 What you will need.

so most of the things on this list could be found at michael's and the internet.
1.polymorph
2.sculpty or clay.
3.silver spray paint.
4. copper wire thin works best.
5. these pedicure tools i found around the house.
6. 11 L.E.D lights not dot it you will have to wire them.
7 a 9 volt connection thing.
8 copperish gold cole spray paint.
9 expandable stuff for a harness.

and make sure you have a TON OF CLAY.

Dude! I made an 'ible just like this! Some guy called me a plargurist fot it! I did NOT know there was one like mine!

[J.A.R.V.I.S.]

never mind, I unposted it. if it had fellings it would cry in shame at how good yours is.

needs some work but you're almost there bro. (almost looks professional) very nicely done. i guess all you need are a few more tools (and the knowledge to use them of course) and you'll do great in fabrication. :) as for the lights being too bright, don't worry about that too much. i'm sure you could fix that. cheerios! :P

[calebzpena]

 have you thought about using el wire? at least for the lights for the hands

[duelist]

Is there any easier way to do this???

[PieMaster777]

Honus' is better...just saying you should check it out...

There seems to be a large discrepancy between the last "in progress" image and the finished product. It appears as though you go from a gray partially sculpted clay ring to a painted and lit finished piece in one step. Consider adding more steps and clarifying a few bits so somebody could actually follow these instructions and come up with a similar result. Nice effort though, I imagine we will see some great things from you in the future.

Is there a simpler way to do this project?

[Ironman97]

Can I do this without polymorph?

[raiii]

i dont get this part. is there a possible way to make this part more descriptive? thanks, it would help a lot. :)

yo man thanx it gave me a great idea to build a real ark circuit and carry on with a new approach to my anti gravity experiments thanx angain

wow... umm.. are you sure you wired the LEDs correctly? looks a little too bright to be correct... BTW, I'm 14, ns to meet you... anyway... yea... 9 volts powering a little LED seems a little harsh for the little guys... after all they can only take 3.3 volts to be insanely bright and still last you a few months...

[Robotrix]

It would depend on how you wired the LEDs. If they're all in parallel and getting the full 9 volts, you're right, it would be way too much. But what if you broke it up into three parallel groups and connected those in series? Each group should get about 3V. Of course, he didn't mention it, but they're all going to have current limiting resistors as well. 9V is ok as long as you can spread it over a lot of lights!

It could be the photograph. Cameras, if left on full auto mode, tend to over-emphasize the brightness of light sources.

[1oooop]

true, that's why I lower exposure. My suggestion is use full auto only when manual fails... LOL

[cowscankill]

I like the hand pieces! you should post those!
