I found the video of Russell Bobbitt (Property Master of Iron Man Movie) showcasing the arc reactor in Iron Man 2 movie... check out how close our version is with the real movie props :thumbsup

Re: Ironman 2 Wearable Arc Reactor - ARC REACTOR IMPROVEMENTS!!!

OUR ARC REACTOR UNDERGONE SOME MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS...

1st run 10 sets current status... all the mechanical parts were done

All the said improvements were implemented...

IMPROVEMENT DETAILS:
1)Prototype - NO coin battery holder (the coin batteries were just fixed using double sided adhesive tape)
Revision - Made a coin battery holder out of resin (mould and cast)

2) Prototype - LEDs were just solder together (a bit messy to look at)
Revision - Designed a PCB layout and to proceed with the PCB build

The above PCB design is a prototype... I will revise it to improve its positioning and mounting inside...

3) Prototype - Glass cover (actually clear plastic) are not securely fixed on the aluminum casing (might accidentally fall)
Revision - Drilled 2 screw holes on aluminum casing and secure the glass cover with 2 screws

4) Prototype - Lighting effects is a bit different from the actual props used in the movie.
Revision - Have finally come up with the design that will replicate the movie lighting effects.

The white translucent ring/circle on the prototype was turned to white opaque ring.

The innermost circle/part appears to be segmented when lit (same as the movie props)

The prototype PCB assembly were installed inside...

The lines on the innermost ring was actually a reflection of the lines below it.

5) Overall look of the arc reactor were changed/improved with the use of improvised tool for parts preparation and the use of other standard parts found.

The metallic bar on both side of each coil/winding were changed to a found standard part that amazingly resemble the movie props.

I paste our arc reactor (only edited the hue and saturation to fit the color) on Tony Stark's chest

Its not exact... but pretty darn close thumbsup

Lots of "hand-held" photos below...

Looking at it closer, you will find that all the circles were perfectly cut compared to the prototype... this was the result of making improvised tool for material preparation

I made a simple but elegant stand for our arc reactor (personal use only)

Arc reactor on simple display stand

These were all hand-made (NO CNC, Milling nor Lathe machine here)...

Hope you all appreciate our pursuit to making this arc reactor as screen accurate as we possibly can.

Comments and suggestions are highly appreciated

Thank you very much for watching and for your time

cheers!

Damn, brother, that is pretty darn close. Quite impressive for a hand-made prop!
