In France ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is being built. Current models of fusion plasmas tell physicists that sustained fusion should be achievable if we scale up the size of the reactor.

They're the largest molecules that have been shown to exhibit wave-particle duality. Buckyballs are super cool spherical molecules made from 60 carbon atoms. An arc reactor is another scientific device that I believe is used in the doping of metals and is used in the production of bucykballs. To clarify something, when he says "arc reactor" he really means mini fusion reactor. While in the cave he builds what he calls an "arc reactor" that provides power to his body and prevents the shrapnel in his chest from inching closer to his heart. His captors put him in a cave and demand that he build them a missile. When Tony Stark goes to Afghanistan to give a weapons demonstration he is wounded and captured. For example: Is it possible to make an arc reactor? Yes and no! I explain more after the jump. In this post I investigate the scientific basis of these technologies and biological effects. Iron Man and Iron Man 2 contain many fantastic scifi elements, including the arc reactor, chemical poisoning, and creating new elements using particle beams. SPOILER ALERT! Details about Iron Man (2008) and Iron Man 2 (2010) below
