In addition to the obvious attractiveness and charisma Robert Downey Jr as a brilliant billionaire turned superhero - Tony Stark- the movie from Marvel has created a great temptation to find out what kind of toys and devices are built into latest version his high-tech suit. And while innovations such as a suit that unfolds from a suitcase right on your body, or clothes that always follow you when you wear special bracelets, remain in the realm of science fiction, there is still hope. Most of what is built into the suit " iron man”has analogues in our world, albeit not as chic as in the film.
With a strength-enhancing exoskeleton and jet beams, as well as a robot assistant, becoming a real Tony Stark will be difficult enough - and certainly not cheap - but not impossible, anyway.
No matter how cool Tony's toys are, without a power source they'll be nothing more than pretty armor. We need to connect a small arc reactor based on cold fusion.
The fusion reactor technology is the backbone of Stark Industries' business and the Iron Man suit. In our world, there are no analogues of this technology yet (although). Marvel.com suggests that the technological roots of the Comicoid Reactor are rooted in the "tokamak," an experimental Cold War-era fusion reactor developed back in the USSR. Like the arc reactor, the "tokamak" is made in the form of a toroid, includes plasma, magnetic fields and generates a huge amount of energy.
The tokamak is much larger than the arc reactor - even larger than the mock-up at Stark Industries - and still has not gone beyond the scope of the experiment. But given Tony's genius at miniaturization complex structures, most likely, the basis of a fantastic thermonuclear reactor is precisely the tokamak.
According to Neil deGrasse Tyson, the problem of designing a fist-sized energy source is not so much in generation, but in storage and potential side effects. For better recoil and minimization of burns, DeGrasse Tyson recommends a different type of power source: one based on the controlled annihilation of matter and antimatter. , for example.
Reactive gloves
The Jet Beam Gauntlet is one of Tony Stark's most used weapons, but it's unlikely to be recreated with high precision in real world. Of course, this option is not suitable for quivering Iron Man fans. One of them, German Patrick Prieb, in one of his breaks in work (on polymer processing) made something that looks like a reactive glove: a laser built into the hand.
A laser powered by lithium-ion batteries may not have the destructive power of Iron Man's gloves, but it does. It emits a beam of 1000 mW, which is 200 times stronger than a laser beam that is legal in most countries for use. In short, if you want to fry your cat, it may well catch fire.
Unsatisfied with the work done, Prieb went further and created what he called "", completing it with a retractable laser.
According to the legend of Iron Man, the hero can fly thanks to powerful jets of energy beating from the soles of his shoes. They move it through the air, without the danger of spontaneous combustion of the legs and without the need to wear high heels, which would make the hero look like a representative of glam rock. However, in our world there are no jet boots that will help you take off, but there is something else: a personal jetpack. Jetpack.
Personal jetpacks have been around for a long time. The first sample appeared in 1919 in Russia, its creator was the inventor Alexander Fedorovich Andreev, but only in 1960 the first jetpack was presented to the public. Unfortunately, the high cost and short flight time meant that the hype around the invention quickly faded.
But the dream lives on. New Zealand-based Martin Aircraft has developed the Martin Jetpack, a gasoline-powered personal jetpack that can stay in the air for up to 30 minutes at a time. It is intended for consumer market. According to some estimates, its price is about $ 1 million, and this is the minimum. But no one argues with the fact that all initiatives are costly for the real Tony Stark.
DARPA (American Defense Advanced research projects) has been working on exoskeletons that can improve the physical combat capability of American soldiers for more than a decade. In 2010, defense contractor Raytheon unveiled one of the results for the first time: the XOS 2 exoskeleton.
The suit is designed to work in the field of logistics, that is, logistics, greatly increasing the strength of the wearer, allowing him to penetrate a three-inch layer of wood with ease. The built-in hydraulics work independently of the wearer's muscles, thereby giving him the opportunity to work for three. Lightweight materials and construction allow maneuverability that massive military equipment cannot boast.
There is, of course, a problem. Each suit must be plugged into an outlet and also connected to a central control panel. The tethered suits are scheduled for release in 2015, but for now, Raytheon is developing tethered suits for future use.
Exoskeletons are used not only in the military environment, of course. Outside the theater of war, the same technologies could help people relearn how to walk and gain extra muscle. In fact, it is Ekso Bionics, one of the leaders in the development of medical exoskeletons, that has shared its technology with Lockheed Martin for military purposes, and not vice versa.
Like a military exoskeleton, medical devices are designed to help the body to gain extra strength, but they also help the muscles relearn and strengthen them in the process. Perhaps with their help it is impossible to raise a row wooden beams or rockets, for example, but thanks to exoskeletons, people who cannot walk or do not have such a precious ability will get it.
Computers controlled by the power of thought
If the fact that Tony Stark controls an entire suit of high-tech armor with the power of his mind seems completely impossible to you, how surprised you that there are already technologies with which you can control computer system by the power of thought alone.
The Advanced Technologies Lab and Ruzbeh Jafari, Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas, have developed an experimental system that allows you to control, for example, a tablet samsung galaxy without touch or voice commands. Everything is based on where you look and what you focus on.
Admittedly, technology has not yet reached the stage where it is possible to write a rudimentary message in this manner, let alone control a complex war machine. So far, the user's choice is limited to a meager menu. But this is only the beginning.
Holographic display
While watching the movie "", in the scenes showing Tony Stark inside the armor, we see how screens pop up in front of him, providing him with the necessary information. It looks great. Why don't we have this? In fact, everything will be, and very soon.
In fact, the point is not in glasses that can take pictures, thereby bringing Google Glass closer to Iron Man technologies, but in the very concept of a wearable computer connected to the Internet that can respond to voice commands and show information available only to the carrier. Obviously, miniature glasses for Instagram lovers are the first step towards a full-fledged helmet that will help fight crime.
J.A.R.V.I.S.
Smart Homes a tempting idea for fantasy lovers. However, with advances in wireless networking and data analytics and systems like J.A.R.V.I.S. rapidly approaching scientific reality.
According to Diane Cook of the Washington University School of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, the key to a smart home will be an omnipresent intelligence capable of searching for and interpreting information, as well as acting autonomously according to algorithms. Some of these systems are already working in your home. Air conditioners can automatically adjust the temperature, refrigerators can automatically defrost. And so on.
While "Jarvis" is an assistant at Stark's lab, Cook's smart home research is focused on something else: she's exploring how fluid intelligence can help retirees live longer without involving outsiders.
If you're still a fan of Tony Stark's technology, we suggest you take a break from the movie and go straight to the comics. One version of the iron suit is equipped with rollers that extend from the bottom of the armored suit.
A natural question arises: although the push for technology development in the film has led to the creation of elements of exorbitant power, why not take and equip your iron suit rollers?
Unfortunately, to the question of how to find a reasonable and pretty secretary who will be infinitely devoted to her boss, science does not give an unambiguous answer.
All children love to transform into fairytale heroes. They play their first acting roles already in kindergarten. Of course, in the dreams of every girl - to become wonderful princess, and the boy - a brave knight. But if for the transformation of the baby it will be enough to buy a beautiful and long dress, then in order to “equip for battle” a warrior, you will need a special suit and accessories. The first and, perhaps, the main attribute of all knightly uniforms is a headdress. So, you want to make the boy an original carnival costume in a modern way? Then check out one of the many ways to make a helmet. iron man. The instruction is given in the form walkthrough with comments.
What and how to make an iron man helmet: preparation
Before you get started, you need to decide on a few points:
- for what purpose is it planned to manufacture a headdress;
- What will the future product look like?
- what will be its technological and functional characteristics.
If you plan to make part of the costume, for example, for a New Year's party, you should not complicate the work too much. It makes sense to simplify the functionality of the helmet and its manufacturing technology as much as possible. In the case of designing this main component of a superhero costume (photo 1) for participation, for example, in an exhibition of works by older students, a completely different approach is needed. Here will have special meaning and appearance, and its manufacturability. This instruction: "How to make an iron man helmet" is presented as a description initial stages. Further work plan depending on the desired result, using various raw materials and technologies.
Necessary materials
To make a pattern, use fairly thick landscape paper or whatman paper. Draw lines with a simple pencil. For cutting, you will need a clerical knife, ordinary scissors and small scissors, such as manicure ones (for neat design of corners and recesses). For a simplified version of the helmet, use corrugated cardboard (a store box for products, cosmetics, etc.). Connect all parts with strong and quick-drying glue (such as "Moment") manually or with a special gun. For external design(covering parts and their fastening) you will need adhesive tape of various colors. Iron man's helmet reamer can also be made of a less dense material. This option is used if it is planned to plaster parts and then connect them to each other, for example, with magnets.
Template Assembly
Photo 2 shows the drawings of the Iron Man helmet. The parts of the pattern will, when connected, be located on the following parts of the head:
- ear.
- Parietal.
- Rear.
- Chin-cheek.
- Nasal.
- Frontal.
Knowing this condition, it will be easy to assemble the parts cut out of paper into a single product. Photo 1 of the finished helmet will help to distinguish the details, since almost all zones are colored differently and have clear connecting borders with each other. But still, before joining the product into a single whole, arrange the parts in a wide space and mark the gluing points.
We make an iron man helmet from paper or cardboard
To make this headdress voluminous, you need to skillfully arrange the connecting joints. To do this, especially in places of curved lines, make small cuts that will help to give them a convex shape when gluing. Photo 3 clearly demonstrates this stage of work. After assembling all the parts together, paste over with tape different colors. You can also use colored paper for decoration, which then needs to be covered with transparent adhesive tape. Give your child the opportunity to dream up, creating a creative creation on a modern theme.
Application of complex technologies
Photo 4 shows how to make an iron man helmet from thick paper (drawing paper). If you cover the assembled product on top with a thin layer gypsum mixture and let it dry, you can get blanks for a more technologically advanced model. In this case, in the process of work, you need to think about how all removable or sliding parts will be connected to each other. The simplest and suitable option with this technology - the use of magnets fixed inside. You can also install rotating hinges in the cheek and chin area to make the front parts moveable. Outwardly, such a modern helmet can turn out to be especially attractive due to the use of a special luminous emulsion when painting. Well, the final stage of work will be the installation of mini-bulbs inside the crafts in the frontal area to illuminate the eye recesses. That's it, the helmet is ready!
This original craft can serve as the basis for creating similar headdresses for other fairy-tale characters. Create, embodying the most unusual fantasies into reality!
By popular demand, we are posting, or rather, his model Mark 7.
It's done, got around to add Iron Man Mark 7. Until now, it remains a mystery to me how they still differ, these Marks. At least Iron Man Helmet Mark 2, 3 and 4 are the same as far as I can tell. The armor is different, yes, but the helmets... While looking for this model, I found that there are even more iron man helmet scans than expected. As for this specific model, the Iron Man Mark 7, it only opens in the Pepakura Viewer, which means that you won't be able to change anything in it, including the dimensions. Therefore, you just have to hope that it fits under your head. Although, I downloaded it from the American forum, where they claimed that everything was in order with the sizes.
An iron man helmet made of paper takes up 14 pages in pepakura, which, as we have already found out, is the standard for helmets. By the way, spacers are provided here, which is very convenient for the helmet to keep its shape when strengthened. In fact, there is nothing complicated, except for a little around the ears and thin lines on the first page, but these are rims. So you can glue and may the iron man help you.
print Thanks, great tutorial +5
Any boy would like to be like at least one superhero. It's so cool to have some kind of ability that only you will have. With it, you can feel strong and brave in order to fight evil and save the world from trouble. Therefore, we suggest that you and your child make an Iron Man mask together.
- colored paper red and yellow color
- Cord or rope
- black marker
- simple pencil
- Stationery glue
- Scissors
Step by step photo lesson:
On the red semi-cardboard draw the silhouette of the Iron Man mask. Next, carefully cut with scissors.
Now cut out the ears. There are only two such details.
Glue the ears on the back side.
Then take yellow leaf thick paper and circle the silhouette of the red mask a little. We begin to draw the details, which should be yellow. They should not go beyond the mask.
Cut out. We apply it to the base, namely the red mask. Correct the form if necessary.
Glue the yellow part of the mask onto the red one.
With a pencil, we begin to draw the eyes and mouth.
Cut out holes for the eyes along the contour. It is best to do this with small scissors so as not to go beyond the contour. Moreover, it will look neater.
Outline the area around the eyes with a black marker, creating a contour. We will also draw the lines of the mouth and stroke all the other parts of the mask.
Then take a black rope or lace and glue it on the back side on the sides. To keep them well - you can use hot glue from a pistol.
On this, the Iron Man mask made of colored paper is ready. She will delight many boys who watched cartoons or films about this superhero.
Hi all!
Do you know who Iron Man is?
If yes, then you are reading the right article!
This article will describe in detail the method of manufacturing an iron man helmet, for greater visual perception, the author attaches full photo report.
Let's start making!
We will need the following:
Tools:
- soldering iron;
- scissors;
- ruler;
- stationery knife;
- sandpaper.
Materials:
- cardboard (not too thick);
- polyester resin, or epoxy;
- fiberglass;
- paint (red and gold);
- switch;
- 2 batteries;
- 6 LEDs;
- wires;
- transparent plastic;
- small magnets, or Velcro;
- 2 small pieces of wood
As you probably already understood, the helmet will be made of paper, namely, medium-hard cardboard. We do the following, download the template provided by the author, and print it on a printer.
When all the details are printed, we gain patience and start cutting them out of cardboard, for this we use scissors, working with smaller details it is best to use a clerical knife.
Next, you need to download a small program Pepakura Viewer 3, it will help you when gluing parts, when you set certain settings, the program will show the sequence of gluing parts. (Google will tell you how to set these settings correctly, for one you will learn and read about what this program is).
As you can see in the photo, the parts are numbered, and so, each number should be glued with the same number (that is, for example, 122 with the number 122), it is best to immediately sort the parts by numbers, so it will be easier to glue.
Take your favorite glue and start gluing the parts. Since the edge of the cut parts will be bent, it is best to use a ruler for this. The gluing process is very long and rather tedious, so we must be patient, it is best to do gluing intermittently.
After many hours spent gluing the parts together, you should end up with the following.
This helmet has a removable part, it is located at the bottom, and so, it is unnecessary to glue it to the base of the helmet. And also there are two triangular parts, they will help the helmet to keep the correct shape until the helmet is covered polyester resin.
We produce the process of coating the helmet with resin.
To do this, we use fiberglass and resin, these two components will make your helmet strong enough. First coat with resin outside, evenly applying fiberglass, smear the resin with a brush over the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe helmet. Next, we do the same operation with inside leave the product to dry.
Important!
This operation with resin should not be carried out on a carpet or sofa, etc. inappropriate places, for this, select a special workplace Use gloves when handling resin.
When the product dries, cover it again with a two-part epoxy resin leave the item to dry.
After the part has completely dried, we take sandpaper and clean the surface, removing all the bumps and giving the helmet a cast shape.
When you have achieved the desired result, you can paint the helmet. We close with adhesive tape those places that will be painted in a different color. We apply one color first, in this case red, then gold.
You should get the following.
Now let's move on to the back of the helmet, which is removable.
We cover it with resin and fiberglass, and then we clean it sandpaper. If there are deep irregularities, you can additionally use automotive putty.
Pay attention to the ears of the helmet, on paper they are just round, the author decided to make them out of wood, namely, cut them out of not thick plywood, then fix them in place with glue.
Since the helmet, as planned, will be worn on the head, and put on without taking it off back if it doesn’t work, we make a fixing removable element that will connect these two parts to each other, for this we use small magnets, if there are none, you can use Velcro.
We make teeth from two pieces of wood 10 * 2.5 cm, after making notches on them, paint them black, and then glue them to the helmet from the inside.
Now let's move on to the electronic part, in order for the helmet to look spectacular, we make the backlight. For this we use 6 LEDs. of blue color. We take a soldering iron and solder the parts according to the diagram presented.
