BEHIND IRON MAN ARC REACTOR.

ARC REACTOR-MARVEL WORLD.

The Arc Reactor was a power core made out of pure energy, and was the initial source of the first Iron Man Marksuits, and was later modified to an advanced level by Tony to power his suits, as it kept on improving. The second arc reactor is made of a element that Tony Stark created in the second movie.Stark Industries was once powered by an Arc Reactor, but it was destroyed when Pepper overloaded it.

It is unknown what happened to the reactor after this event.The Arc Reactor is also the power source of Stark Tower and a mini arc reactor was created to power the Iron Man suit.

Original Arc Reactor Created by Howard Stark, the Large Arc Reactor powered Stark Industries for years before Tony created his mini versions, though it was never replicated. Unable to defeat Iron Monger, Tony lures him to the roof of Stark Industries and has Pepper Potts overload the reactor, sending up an energy surge that disables the suit and knocks out Obadiah Stane. Stane and his suit then fall into the reactor, which explodes, killing and incinerating Stane and his suit.

Tony later uses a Vibranium version to power Stark Tower and it is used by Lokito power the Tesseract to create a worm hole to bring a Chitauri invasion force to Earth.

Palladium Mini-Arc Reactor Mark ITony creates the Palladium Mini-Arc Reactor Mark I to power the electromagnet keeping shrapnel from reaching his heart in lieu of a car battery. He later uses it to power his MarkIsuit, but upgrades to his Mark II reactor and abandons this one. Rather than throw it out,Pepper Potts frames it with the note "Proof Tony Stark Has A Heart."

After his Mark II reactor is stolen by Obadiah Stane, Tony, with the help of his robot Dummy, plugs back in this reactor and uses it to power the Mark III suit in battle against Iron Monger,but it is not designed to work with that suit and quickly runs out of power. However, with Pepper's help, Tony defeats Iron Mongerand kills Stane. He replaces this reactor with the Mark III later.

Palladium Mini-Arc Reactor Mark II Created by Tony Stark after returning home, the Palladium Mini-Arc Reactor Mark II is used to power his electromagnet and his Mark II and Mark III suits. After finding the Mark I suit and rebuilding it into the Iron Monger,Obadiah Stane steals this reactor to power it as he is unable to replicate the technology. Tony faces him using the Mark I, but is in adequate to power his suit properly.
Finally, Tony has Pepper Potts overload the Large Arc Reactor powering Stark Industries and Stane, his suit and this reactor are incinerated in the explosion.
Palladium Arc Reactor Mark III was the reactor used by Tony to power his armors and electromagnet in the movie,Iron Man 2.

Presumably created to replace the one stolen from him by Stane and eventually replaced by an improved reactor as the palladium was slowly poisoning Tony to death. Each of his armors had one of these powering it rather than relying on the one powering his electromagnet to do both, allowing James Rhodes to steal the Mark I Isuit.

New Element Arc Reactor Mark I was the Arc Reactor created by Tony after he re-discovered an element, and tried to synthesize it, resulting to the new and more powerful clean energy.New Element Arc Reactor Mark II Tony eventually replaced the Mark I reactor with the Mark II to power his Iron Legion and electromagnet. The ones powering the Iron Legion were destroyed when Tony had J.A.R.V.I.S.self-destruct the suits and after having the shrapnel removed from his chest, Tony pitches the one powering the electromagnet into the sea.

ARC FUSION REACTOR-REAL WORLD.

This type of fusion reactor exists today at research pilot scale. The reactor pictured, ITER, is under construction and is planned to be the first fusion reactor large enough to produce a net gain of energy. Basically it mashes two isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium and tritium, together at such high energies that they combine into one atom. When they fuse, the reaction produces helium and a free neutron.

Critically, helium+neutron has less mass than deuterium+tritium, and the missing mass is converted to energy. That energy can be captured as heat to run a traditional steam-driven turbine there are charged particles moving in a circle, contained by a magnetic field. High-energy particles usually have high energy because they're moving very fast, and magnetic fields can curve the motion of charged particles.

Curving the particles' motion into a circle keeps them in one place long enough to get them to collide.the arc reactor produces electricity directly, rather than by first generating heat.

ARC REACTOR CONTAINS:

miniature arc reactor.

Contains a palladium core.
The palladium is damaged by neutrons, so the specific isotope is important.

Has electromagnetic coils in a torus.

Emits blue-white light.

Runs low on power at inconvenient times, meaning it must have some sort of fuel or consumed charge.

I propose that Howard Stark found a way (using comic-book physics) to utilize the beta decay of Pd-107 ions as an electronsourcefor the electroncaptureof Pd-103, thereby producing an electric circuit between two different radioactive isotopes. A tiny amount of Pd-103 is ionized by an electric arc (thus the reactor's name, and start-up power requirement), which then allows Pd-103+ to be circulated at high velocity within the outer ring of the device. The ionization acts to delaythe electron capture step until the atom encounters a free electron, and the high kinetic energy due to velocity increases the chances of electron capture occurring once an electron is encountered.

In effect, the radioactive decay of Pd-103 can be started, stopped, and throttled by the device simply by controlling the ionization and circulation ofthe Pd-103.The device's geometry and electromagnetic fields route the high-energy electrons from the Pd-107 core towards the outer ring. Therethe electrons are captured by high-energy Pd-103 ions.
This electron capture process emits gamma rays, which are deflected inward to catalyze the beta decay of the Pd-107 core. A working ARC fusion reactor would use 50 megawatts (MW) of power to produce 500MW of fusion power, 200MW of which could be delivered to the grid. That's enough to provide 200,000 people with electricity.

The ARC reactor's powerful magnets are modular, meaning they can be easily removed and the central vacuum vessel in which the fusion reaction occurs can be replaced quickly; besides allowing upgrades, are movable vessel means a single device could be used to test many vacuum vessel designs.Fusion reactors work by super heating hydrogen gas in a vacuum, the fusing of hydrogen atoms form helium.

Just as with splitting atoms in today's fission nuclear reactors, fusion releases energy. The challenge with fusion has been confining the plasma (electrically charged gas) while heating it with microwaves to temperatures hotter than the Sun.Normally, gas such as hydrogen is made up of neutral molecules bouncing around. When you superheat a gas, however, the electrons separate from the nuclei creating a soup of charged particles rattling around at high speeds.
A magnetic field can then press those charged particles into a condensed shape, forcing them to fused together. The 40-year conundrum of fusion power is that no one has been able to create a fusion reactor that puts out more power than is required to operate it. In other words, more power is required to keep the plasma hot and generating fusion power than the fusion power it produces.

Europe's working tokamak reactornamed JET, holds the world's recordfor power creation; it generates 16MW of fusion power but requires 24MW of electricity to operate.MIT's researchers, however, believe they have the answer to the net power problem and it'll be available in a relatively tiny package compared to today's nuclear fission power plants. By making the reactor smaller, it also makes it less expensive to build. Additionally, the ARC would be modular, allowing its many parts to be removed for repairsto upgrades, something not previously achieved.

While there areplenty of cosplay versions of the arc reactor, that’s not what we’re talking about here. In fact, MIT has been working on building a reactor that would function like the Marvel arc reactor. The folks over at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center have been making leaps forward in this attempt, which means that we could see arc reactors powering cities relatively soon! The basic principle of the arc reactor is that of a fusion reactor, and it’s the size that makes it really impressive.

While MIT is now here near making a donut-shaped fusion reactor as small as Tony Stark’s, their latest efforts have been to create a tokamok-type nuclear fusion device that would only require a 3.3 meter radius – yet which would put out 500MW of power using only 50MW, thanks to superconductor technology. If their design works, it would be enough to power 200,000 homes – which is even better than a single supersuit.
