Thats awesome. I thought about making the prop reactor that Pepper built for Tony to have in my spare room... I may have to give this a shot. Thanks for the tips!

nice! I'm not sure if its only in the UPNY area, because I couldnt find it online... Just remember, when you cut off the bottom portion of it, you need to grind off about 1/8" extra to make it sit flush on the strainer (after removing the strainer handle of course)...I'm adding a thin peice of plastic to seal it over top so i dont spill any Jack in my reactor on halloween lol.

 

[Andyf430]

maybe a kitchen faucet screen in the middle? thoughts?

 

[Lord Magneto]

Haha I did just that. Cut off the bottom then sanded it down like crazy to get it almost flush

thanks for the pic and SKU. I went to Home Depot yesterday but unfortunately the canadian home depots only carry Moen sink strainers and i couldnt find one that looked like the everbilt one.

Haha thanks man. Next week I should be doing some major updates to my magneto helmet

 

[Andyf430]

just a quick update for anyone in the Buffalo area, VALU Home ceters has about 5 different drain sets similar to this

 

[Scuba Bob]

If anyone in toronto sees these let me know.

 

[Andyf430]

I added a small faucet screen over the center led and sealed it with a piece of thin clear plastic to keep it water/booze tight

 

[Andyf430]

Bump....bump Bump it UP!

Did you cut out the poly ring or use a template of some sorts to mold it. I have some plastic pellets that I was going to melt down to make the ring. Trying to find the best way to make a mold or something first so it comes out round and smooth.

I used the top of a DVD spindle case along with the pellets. I then used my dremel to sand away at the excess.

I'm debating on trying to cut a ring out of acrylic sheeting.

Is there a good youtube video or page on creating this arc reactor and other ones? I bought the one on think geek and it sucked. Id like to be able to make a better one for halloween.
