I'm curious about something. And most of you are probably going to click away as soon as I say, or type this, I guess. But for those of who haven't, thanks. In the Iron Man comics, movies and tv shows the arc reactor keeps Tony Stark from lethal heart damage and keeps the Iron Man Armour powered. I've had a multitude of theories surrounding said reactor, and I think the most plausible option would be to use a palladium ring, preferably made of Pd-103 which has a half-life of around 16 days, and ejects an electron particle from its atomic structure every half-life. That Pd-103 atom then transforms into silver. The electron particle could be collected and rotated around a ring using electromagnetic cells. When enough electrons enter the accelerator, and electron collision could occur resulting in energy release which could, in turn, be harnessed and transferred. So basically, if you had enough money, Pd-103, and time it may be possible to make said reactor. Does anyone have any words they'd like to throw in? Thank you for your reply!
