Iron Man Arc Reactor

Human: Made key changes to the original design to enable USB charging, self-sustaining power, and remote control operation. The Crystal Ring Bottom is slightly larger than the upper ring, necessitating extensive sanding to achieve a proper fit. I engineered this feature myself to simplify LED installation without requiring adhesives. Additionally, the Centering Ring plays a crucial role in holding the central crystal securely in place, preventing any movement or displacement. I deliberately avoided using adhesives in assembly, opting instead for pressure fitting to secure all components in place. Below are the essential components required to power the ARC Reactor independently and recharge via USB. A larger back cap has been designed to accommodate all parts, facilitating a seamless assembly process. I modified a standard USB male end by stripping it back to fit into the new plug holder as depicted above. The middle wire originates from the USB plug, while the red and black wires are dummy pieces used to complete the reactor's aesthetic.
