Is it possible to make a real life iron man suit in real life? We have jet packs, cool iron man-like gadgets, and titanium suits of iron. The main parts of his suit are flight, gadgets, and protection.Can we do it? Can we accomplish all three of these?

Adam Savage 3D printed a real life suit of iron man armor out of titanium. It is bulletproof, bombproof, light enough to fly in with Richard Browning’s jet suit. It’s a great stepping stone, but we will need to find another material for the flexible parts like fiberglass or grapheme.

Next, we need gadgets. We could use propane lightsabers for a cool welding finger. We could attach a laser to the arm, as long as it’s light enough. We could add a heads up display to make it really be like iron man. And maybe, just maybe, we could add an arc reactor that either acts like a battery or actually produces energy.

Last but not least, we need it to fly. If we make a good enough ark reactor, maybe we could make an electric version like JLazer’s. It would take a load off, and it would increase the flight time. But, until we can make a good ark reactor and can deal with the fact that the EDFs don’t look like iron man, we’ll have to stick with the jet suit by Richard Browning. Maybe, we could store extra jet fuel in hidden tanks inside of the suit.

All in all, Iron Man’s suit might just be possible in real life. Through titanium suits of armor, Ark Reactors, and Jetpacks, we might be able to make his suit a reality. Whether or not we think we can or we can’t, we’re right. Do you think that we can?
