Using tech to make Iron man's armor.

Now for the last few weeks, I have been focusing on flight. After a while, I found this:

Schubeler DS-215-DIA HST 195mm Carbon EDF Ducted Fan + Motor DSM10066-290

This is Schubeler's 195mm carbon EDF. There's good news.

The good news: It lifts 54 pounds per, which means I will only need about 12

Bad news: One of these bad boys cost $1,818.24.

Now that leaves me needing a hefty $21,818.24 to pay. Now since I was lucky enough to find stabilizing edfs, I only need 6 of these, leaving me around 10,000. Now I have two options here. I can either find a sponsor, or use the experimental flight engine plan which is being used on the repulsor and rig it up to lift the whole suit. As I said earlier, I will be using muon beams, and that is still a yes. Here's the only problem so far: proton injectors are needed. Now I know almost nothing about these, but I am gonna give it a shot anyways.

I am really thinking of making something in the styles of this:

It seems pretty easy to make (the basic structure), might be able to open and close, be changeable for height, and really easy to change for flight. I' gonna buy some titanium alloy, steel and aluminum to see what I can do.

Onto a different topic, ENERGY.

Now let's be realistic here. The suit will take up a lot of energy. Now after reading how Iron man's arc reactor might work realistically, I decided that I would have to do a lot of thinking before I could even start planning. Now as the person I am, I decided to start planning anyways! I'm not gonna give out the blueprints until I think that the arc reactor will work.

On a side note, i'm thinking of adding a 3d room scanner I found online then rigging it up to be smaller. I also want to try making the laser turrent, but that will be from scratch.

Finally, we go to weaponry. Remember that shoulder missile? I'm still working in it, but so far, the hardest part has been making micro missiles. That's HARD. I am putting them around scrap kydex and putting in metallic sodium. I'm thinking of putting everything on a shoulder pad to check the look. I might want to start focusing on a HUD system sooner or later.

Well, i'll continue working and start recording, but until later, see you.
