Is Tony Stark’s Weaponry Possible?

Is Tony Stark’s Helmet Possible?

Iron Man uses a cybernetic helmet to control the other devices in the suit. This is probably the most plausible thing about the Iron Man suit.

Furthermore, the world has made major technological steps to virtual games and artificial intelligence. So, cybernetic is something you should expect in the near future.

Iron Mans Weaponry

The repulsor beams also act as the main weapons for the Iron Man. However, in the Mark VIII suit, there was an upgrade. 

He uses a weapon that fires condensed energy. It is unclear whether the new upgrade is a plasma cannon or not.

Nonetheless, such kind of a weapon still requires a lot of power, whose source is still questionable. Furthermore, we are still far away from converting pure energy into a weapon.

Another weapon is the Riot Shield. It is the only weapon that seems realistic. The shield materializes from the suit and retracts back when not in use. This means that there are some “nano-robots” that restructure to form the shield.

Currently, the nanotechnology is still at its initial stages of discovery and we are far from using it to produce such shields. Furthermore, having “nano-robots” that have artificial intelligence such as seen with Tony’s Mark VIII suit whereby, they covers him like a liquid, is more of a fantasy than reality.

The Iron Man Armour

The Iron Man suit acts as an exoskeleton that shields Tony Stark during flights and fights.
They also enhance his physical capabilities exponentially. But, can such an exoskeleton be made? The answer is yes.

In fact, currently, there are many designs of exoskeleton with a few of them looking similar to the Iron Man suit.

An example is the HULC hydraulic-powered exoskeleton that gives an individual the capability to carry more than 200 pounds of loads. There others that use electricity, such as the FORTIS exoskeleton.

We asked: Can A Real Life Iron Man Suit Be Made? It is clear that most of the components making up the Iron Man suit are far from being figured out; even in the near future. 

However, many developments in modern technology make it possible that components of the Iron Man technology may become a reality.
