Guy Makes an Iron Man Arc Reactor in His Garage!

When it comes to superhero movies, there are a lot of things to like. One of our favorite features is when these heroes have all their different gadgets and gizmos that give them also allow them to have different abilities. When you start to dig into that category, it’s hard to deny that Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man is probably one of the most prominent figures when it comes to the toys that go along with being a superhero. As he’s able to create just about anything that the mind could fathom with a charisma that’s hard to match, Stark is a really likable character on screen.

Perhaps one of the most important parts of Iron Man himself is what’s known as the “arc reactor,” essentially a piece of the movie that is used to keep Stark alive while he fends off the bad guys. Naturally, if something like this were present in real life, it probably wouldn’t be so interesting looking, but thanks to Hollywood, a little bit of jazzing it up was necessary in order to bring a little bit more appeal to the screen as they came out with a gem of a prop that nobody will soon forget. In fact, it’s definitely something that stands out whenever you bring up the topic of Iron Man.

If you follow along with the “King of Random” YouTube video below, you’ll get an inside scoop on how exactly you can go step-by-step to create your very own version of the arc reactor. Sure, it isn’t going to function obviously and might only be a night light, but if you’re a big Iron Man fan, this is definitely one that you’re going to want to watch and maybe try out for yourself. Watching as the pieces all come together to make one cohesive project is pretty neat to see as each part really adds the bigger picture.
