Heya everyone! for the next two days hopefully ill be showing you how to create your very own Arc reactor for under $20 here is what hopefully your arc will look like when its done. This one was my 3rd arc reactor made which i wore on halloween.
Ok so first for this you will need some things...
8 wooden spools,
black electric tape
2 long pieces of Hot glue sticks
1 piece of pvc pipe around 4in in diameter
copper wire lots of it
hot glue sticks+glue gun
acrylic sheet
screws
wire mesh
cd
To start, you take the spools and coat them in a thin coat of metallic paint. Make sure to keep them evenly coated to not get any bubbles. Once thats done wrap some electrical tape around them. This will help when wrapping the copper wire around it to give a layered effect to cut back on how much wire you use.
After thats done its time to start wrapping the spools in wire. This is gonna take some time but you have to be ready.
Been a couple weeks since I updated this one sorry about that. Anyway I got time around yesterday and wrapped the spools with copper wire. The wire was thicker than what I had hopped but made it 10 times easier with having to wrap them only once instead of the multiple times it would have taken normally.
Not the best pictures but the only camera I have is my iphone. After wrapping the spools I began to cut the glue sticks to the right size. With this you have to eyeball how long you cut them.
Once you do that I fit the part of the Arc in the PVC pipe to make sure everything fits into place. You need to make all this fit inside the 4in PVC pipe.
Once that was done I finished up the rest of the Arc and once again fit it into that to see if you need to make any adjustments.
The details will come next like the little pieces of copper wire fake 'Soldered' on the actual copper wire. The details can be seen down below. This is the screen used Arc Reactor.
big crowd....
