Cosplay afficionados who plan on wearing Iron Man for the next convention or Halloween, but do not have an idea on how to do his repulsor cannon, this post is for you.
The device, which is mounted on one’s arm, is made out of disposable camera parts and a xenon bulb that gives out a quick blinding flashing. The wearer presses a button at the back of the hand harness to charge, then let one of the fingers touch the trigger, then BOOM… blinding light! Of course, it does not shoot charged particles or whatever, but it makes a good showing. Check out the link for actual performance, but if you really want to make one, head out over here.
