Hey All,
Im new to joining this forum, I've been fallowing it (mainly iron man related) since this time last year when I just things here for reference to build my first arc reactor for a halloween costume. Ive now made a much more advanced one and figured I would show off the progress so far, any feed back would be great theres still some details I haven't mastered.
A little about the reactor so far, all parts a 100% custom designed and built, most the parts are made on a cnc from billet aluminum. I have a custom designed board that will drive 11 cree xte leds at .5A each (these arnt your average leds), its extremely bright for running off a 9 volt. I work for a company that specializes in leds, so the design of this was made to run the leds properly using the main base as a heat sink for the leds, my first light has been running for almost a year as a desk light, so im trying to make this one even more reliable but also more realistic, this one will be 1/2 inch thick so easy to wear under my shirt.
I still haven't mastered the winding of the wires so any suggestions would be great.
The reactor with the ring that says "proof that tony start has a heart" is the one ive based my design off of.
