hmm pressed enter before i should have done....anyway

i have had many a fdiscussion with numerous people, and i believe that it is in some way possible to build the suit Tony Stark created under the guise of "Iron Man" obviously it would not be exactly the same, as not many people know how to make an arc reactor lol, but you get my drift, ideas? comments? theories?

Well if Japan's not too busy with the giant Gundam statue I'm sure they could do it.

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

What use would it be? I mean as things go, you can't use explodey-hands on a mugger, and there's not enough terrorists to keep you occupied.

 

[Arcticflame]

It's basically a missle with a human in it. It's possible, but useless.

 

[Daniosislestat]

i didnt say it was practical, i simply meant it was plausible lol

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

Well then...no. Almost everything is based on having that type of power, without it the suit wouldn't work. Then you have exposure, such as getting too hot or cold, weight, strength of the armor and the ability for it to absorb impacts. And it would be too hard to run without the semi-AI from the movie. So neither possible or plausible. And again it has no use outside looking pretty.

Yeah I think we've got the technology to make something similiar to Iron Man armour. I just don't think it'd be that practical, which means it wouldn't ever be made (which is a shame, really, it'd be awesome).

 

[Ranooth]

Well its only a matter of time till the army (American/UK/Korean/Alien) funds and builds robotic armour for troops and spec op missions. Highly doubt they'll have Energy repulsors or be capable of Super-sonic flight but they are coming soon.

N..No..

Maybe the whole 'gamers can't tell fantasy from reality' is true. Zombies, Vampires and Iron Man.

 

[Legendel]

With all the alien technology the government has stashed away I think they've already got plans / prototypes for all these things, haha, the public just isn't ready for them yet ^^

 

[TwistedEllipses]

With our technology...no. The best we could would be stupidly bulky and impractical and definitely wouldn't be able to fly without a fuel tank the size of a car...

 

[Mr0llivand3r]

no it's not plausible.

stark's mini reactors put out more energy than they consume, which has never been discovered in any energy source.

instead of using that technology on a suit, it should be used to to things like power buildings and cars. ain't gonna happen

Maybe not powered by an 'arc reactor', but we're on our way!

Now we just need to mount some guns and armour on there!

There are only two things "fantastical" about Iron Man. 1) The Arc Reactor, which everyone understands as fantastical, and 2) The propulsion. Essentially, Tony Stark's suit somehow turns the massive amounts of energy in his suit into propulsion from his hands and feet. That's why he can fly indefinitely: the suit doesn't run on any fluid or resource, it only needs power (which it has plenty of thanks to the arc reactor). I'm not always on the cutting edge of science news, but I've never heard of a way to turn raw energy into propulsion.

Once you get past those 2 issues, I think the Iron Man suit is definitely plausible

well, it's not in the same application, but a rail gun uses pure energy to create propulsion by use of electromagnets. Proper application of magnetism can create propulsion from pure energy (electrical energy at least). (And yes, Rail Guns are real. If you want a less Science-Fictiony application, particle accelerators use basically the same concept)

 

[Daniosislestat]

ah some people with a bit of an open mind (dont take that the wrong way anyone who doesnt think its plausible im just saying at least im not the only one lol) it would be highly less likely to be just like iron mans suit as i said in the first post, probably more like the alternate suit that was made off Tony starks first suit that was depicted in the film, it would have uses, stealth, and of course if plausible would mean an army of super soliders, and now we are coming into the terminator side of things

They are building Exo suits right now, they are currently in the fairly early stages however. DARPA has one they demonstrate that allows an average sized man to lift 200 pounds no problem.

 

[Daniosislestat]

yea i asw that on the news shortly after the film was released, well they have rail guns so, next step is to put it into a gauntlet lol

I thought rail guns used energy to propel an object using magnets? Like how a musket uses gunpowder and a bullet, but a rail-gun uses bullets but magnets replace the gunpowder. Is that how it works?
