Iron Man Repulsor Kits
We are finally done with our new and improved v2.4 Iron Man Repulsor FX Circuits (also known as the flight stabilizers). These kits are top notch and super cool but I will let you be the judge. I am working to produce these kits in association with a friend of mine, Novalight.
This repulsor circuit is fully adjustable in that you can customize the standby light level, the fade in time, and the fade out time, the volume of the sound effect, and even the sounds themselves if you want. We have also added the ability to switch between Six different sound profiles. With this repulsor circuit, the user has total control over it's functions, unlike other repulsor kits that only light up for a short time. You will be able to keep the repulsors at full brightness for as long as you want. This is a great feature which is very useful when you are posing for pictures. All light effect adjustments are made using 3 simple turn screws (trimpots), audio volume can be adjusted by a thumbwheel, you can switch between the sound profiles with a magnetic via the hall effect sensor, and the sounds can now be easily replaced via a micro SD card. This kit also has a power efficient circuit design that will maintain full LED brightness until the batteries completely drain. This is an obvious advantage over other setups where the LEDs will get dimmer as the batteries drain.
This circuit has applications beyond the Iron Man repuslor as well. You can make this circuit do all sorts of funny, cool things. You can even add a whole sound track or a series of separate sounds. Install it in your car, open your door and have special sound and light effects greet you, close your door and it will trigger another sound and dim the lights. Use it on a door in your house, in other costumes, etc... the possibilities are endless.

Here is the link to a full demonstration of our new and improved v2.4 Iron Man Repulsor FX Circuit:
What's 'In the Box'
The set of two v2.4 Repulsor FX Circuit includes two repulsors. Each repulsor is composed of the v2.4 repulsor circuit with pre-loaded sound files as well as a LED disc, a speaker, two hall effect sensors, two strong magnets, a set of 4 2000mAh rechargeable Li-ion batteries, and a 2-battery charger.
Available Packages
If you are interested in just one repulsor or thruster then please PM me for more information.
Optional Upgrades:
As you can see the Superhero Repulsor Kit comes with the Li-ion rechargeable batteries. They will last longer than regular batteries and they also boosts the initial voltage and therefore increase the efficiency of the power booster circuit. Plus, you won't have the extra cost of replacing your batteries every time you suit up. These batteries can also be changed out by you just like AA batteries. So if you are going to spend all day at a convention then you can take some spare Li-ion batteries with you and switch them out when your first set drains. You never have to be caught without your repulsors!

Priority Shipping within the US (3-5 days) is $6.50. International Priority Shipping (6-10 days) to Canada is $22.50 and to all other international locations is $27.
In order to keep things simple and organized, I will make the repulsors and ship them out in the order that I receive payments.
If you have any questions, feel free to send me a PM (Private Message) or you can post them in this thread and I will get to them ASAP.

Features:
- The repulsors brighten and fire a coordinated sound effect when triggered. The circuit will also trigger a power down sound when you relax your hand after triggering the blast. This power down sound coordinates with the fading effect of the LEDs. No timing required. All light and sound effects are based on your movement.
- Triggering is done via a hall effect sensor by using a magnet. This has several advantages: it is easy to install and gives you full control over when the effect is triggered without having to worry about it being unintentionally triggered by a push button or tilt switch. The magnet and the sensor can be hidden in under your armor meaning the circuit is completely hidden!
- The circuit can be installed in the forearm gauntlet and is easily connected to the light pod and speaker through a quick connect at the wrist. This makes putting on your armor and attaching the unit a 'snap'.
- The sound effect volume can be adjusted from completely off to about 150% of the original volume through a thumb wheel which could be accessed while in costume depending on the install location. However, you may need to have a handler adjust it if you are already suited up. This gives you the option to just have the light effect without the sound if there is ever a situation that calls for quiet operation or you can crank it up if you need people to hear it in a crowded convention. This is just one more way I am putting you in control. The sound quality is now even better at about 44kHz frequency.
- Even the sound files can be customized by you. With the new v2.0 circuit you can insert the micro SD card into a PC, Mac, or other compatible device and change/customize any or all of the six sound profiles. That's right, there are now six sound profiles available for customization. Each sound profile is comprised of two audio files which will come pre-loaded on the micro SD card. You will be able to cycle through them via a magnetic hall effect sensor.
- The repulsor light effects are fully adjustable! They can be adjusted in three ways:
- The first turn screw controls the LED brightness while the repulsor is in standby.
- The second turn screw controls the fade-in time. This is the amount of time it takes the LEDs to reach full brightness once the blast effect is triggered.
- The third turn screw controls the fade-out time. This is the amount of time it takes the LEDs to fade back down to the standby light intensity.
- The repulsor can stay bright for as long as the magnet triggers the hall effect sensor (Profiles 2, 3, 5, & 6) – so when posing for photos you don’t have to try and time the repulsor effect for the camera shutter, you can keep the light bright by keeping your hand in 'fire/blast' position. The power down sound and light fade effect will not happen until you relax your hand. You can also turn up the standby brightness and walk around with the LEDs at full power all the time if you desire.
- The repulsor has a built in voltage regulator for more efficient operation. This means that the repulsors will be at their full brightness until the batteries drop below 4 volts. They will not get dimmer as the batteries drain! This also makes it perfect for customization or patching it into a single power source for your entire suit because it can be powered by a range of voltage inputs from 5 to 18 volts. Optimal supply voltage is 5-12 volts.
