Most recently, Iron Man Tony Stark has visited the wide screen - for the second time. Give modding fans just a reason - and they will build anything, on any topic. So, on the site instructables.com there was an instruction on how to create an individual reactor "a la Tony Stark".

We start with a drawing. We draw approximately how the reator will look

Now we solder a ring from the trash (improvised failed power supplies)


Here's what you should get:


Next, close plastic ring... From what it can be made, I don’t know, maybe from some herring jar (herring is sold in plastic containers similar shape. There, only the core needs to be cut)

The design is quite simple in execution and within the power of anyone who loves to delve into electronics. An interesting touch - the central LED, covered with a lens and emitting diffused blue light, pulses in time with the wearer's heartbeat. It does this by plugging in an old heart rate monitor purchased from eBay. The creators claim that the device, including a set of 3 V batteries, is light enough and can be worn freely for several hours. WITH detailed instructions can be found

Iron Man by Robert Downey Jr. became a key figure in the world of superheroes loved by the American people. The love for the genius scientist with a specific sense of humor was passed on to the whole world, and now his popularity has eclipsed even Captain America. A very curious element is the reactor Iron man, which he implanted into the body. Consider what kind of invention it is and how it is modified in each film.

What is the Iron Man reactor made of?

It is a power core made of palladium. It was the main source of energy for the first Iron Man suits, and was later modified by Tony to an advanced level to power the already improved suits. The second reactor consists of an element that Tony Stark created in the second Iron man film.

Stark Industries once operated a similar reactor, but it was destroyed when Pepper overloaded it. It is unknown what happened to the reactor after this event. A similar device also powers the Stark Tower, and a smaller version of it was created to power the Iron Man suit.

1. The described invention is based on the reactor of the same name in the comics, both have almost the same appearance and functionality.
2. In the film's plot, the element created for Iron Man's new arc reactor is called vibranium. However, it is mentioned later in the film that Vibranium is a metallic compound from the Wakanda region that was used to create Captain America's shield. That is, it was not an element created by Howard Stark and used in an arc reactor. Thus, the element in the new reactor has not yet been named.
3. The physical reaction Tony experiences when he inserts a nuclear reactor instead of a heart is not in line with how heavy metal poisoning usually works. Although his health would have stabilized after removing the palladium reactor, removing the metal already in his body would have required many months of treatment.

Reactor types

Consider the reactors used in the film:

• The original nuclear reactor. The created large arc reactor powered Stark Industries for years before Tony created his mini versions. Unable to defeat Obadia Stein and his own version of the Iron Man suit, Tony lures him to the roof of Stark Industries and forces Pepper Potts to overload the reactor. The resulting burst of energy deactivates the suit. Both characters are caught in an explosion that burns Stein and his suit. Tony later uses new item, created by him based on the development of his father Howard to power the Stark tower. It is also used by Loki to power the Tesseract to create a wormhole.

• Palladium mini-reactors Mark I-III. Tony builds a Mark I palladium mini-arc reactor to power an electromagnet that keeps shrapnel from hitting his heart, much like a car battery. He later uses it to power his Mark I suit, but upgrades his reactor to a Mark II and discards the former. Instead of throwing it away, Pepper Potts keeps the device with the note "Proof that Tony Stark has a heart."

After the Iron Man Mark II reactor steals Obadia Stein, Tony uses his robot dummy to connect to the reactor and use it to power the Mark III suit in the battle against Iron Monger. With Pepper's help, Tony kills Stein. He later replaced this reactor with a Mark III.

The infinity effect, which is created with LED strips, is very popular these days. It is used in apartment renovation, computer modding and many other areas. Today we will look at a video tutorial on how to make an Iron Man reactor from the comic book and movie of the same name, since this very effect is used in this "reactor". Thus, we get illustrative example using this idea in other homemade products.

First of all, let's take a look at the video

What we need:
- LED Strip Light;
- two-core wire;
- soldering iron;
- glue;
- scissors;
- stationery knife;
- black marker.

Note that the author uses ready-made kit blanks that are intended for assembling such a "reactor", however, if you wish, you can make everything yourself, although we are interested in the process of making the effect, and not the "reactor" itself. Let's get started.

First of all, we clean our two-core wire with a clerical knife.

LED strips provide special contacts for soldering plus and minus wires: these are two points near the LEDs. We release the contacts from the silicone coating and solder the wires to them.

Next, we take the workpiece and glue led strip... Separately, it should be noted that the workpiece must have a hole of the desired shape. The author, for example, has a round hole. Also, the workpiece must be of sufficient thickness so that the edges of the LED strip do not recede from the edges of the workpiece.

Now we need two mirrors or two films with mirror surface, like the author. It should be noted that one of the mirror elements should be slightly transparent.

We attach the mirrors to the front and back of the workpiece, leaving the LED strip in the middle. A mirror that is slightly translucent must be in front for the effect to be visible. So in an uncomplicated way you can get quite effective optical illusion, which is also called the effect of infinity.

We've seen many times how artists and designers use 3D printing technology to make costumes and props. She doesn't care about anything, whether it's a Halloween costume or a cosplay costume. What about Iron Man's arc reactor? It was this idea that struck Dutch student Timo Maluche one evening.

“After I printed a whole bunch of samples and knickknacks, I thought it was time for the real project,” says Maluce. “Iron Man 2 was shown on TV that very evening. I adore Iron Man and just couldn't miss this movie. The moment I saw the gift that Pepper Potts made for Tony Stark ("It proves that Tony Stark has a heart"), I knew what exactly would be my first project. "

In general, Maluche decided to print an arc reactor. To prepare himself, he bought the Iron Man 2 DVD and studied the above scene thoroughly. He even looked through it frame by frame so as not to miss anything. At the same time, he tried to match the size of the reactor with the hands of Pepper Potts, so as not to miss the scale.
Maluce designed all the parts in Autodesk Inventor 2014 and then printed them on a CartesioM 3D printer. However, this was not enough for him. He wanted to achieve maximum realism, which meant that the reactor had to glow.

“At first the reactor was conceived without LEDs, but then I thought how great it would be if it really glowed, so I added slots for 30 LEDs and a 9V battery,” explains Maluce. - The simplest electronics was used for the assembly. I inserted the LEDs into the prepared slots, connected a resistor to each of them and connected them in parallel. "
For the production of the white sectors, Maluche used a fiber that glows in the dark. It took a week to design, print, connect and assemble. Not bad for a newbie who just bought their first 3D printer. Now Maluche is a third year student at the Faculty of Precision Engineering. He first encountered 3D printing technology during an internship at
