PSHAW, just 136 Megavolts as 22 Amps, it'll be fine.

He did say the suit had built in heating

Those look closer to 14AWG to me but yeah.

Since 3GW must go somewhere, and it's probably going to be into heat, can anybody calculate how many seconds can a human-sized object absorb 3GW of power before burning up?

Staying this close to anything emitting 3GW of heat looks like a bad idea.

I always assumed the small wires were just for control or telemetry of some sort and the reactor itself had contacts on it that transferred power through a socket.

Though I guess that wouldn't make sense on the one in Tony's chest.

Make its output in the teravolt range, and you'll only have to deal with milliamps.

I like how functionally iron man 1 negates the plot of the first Avengers movie because stark made a pocket fusion reactor that would absolutely eliminate the energy demands of the world and remove the need tk research the teaseract as an alternative energy source.

It’s probably vibranium. It‘s always vibranium.

The wires are just for the magnet. The suits are powered via contract to the reactor frame. (That’s still a more than two DeLorians worth of power drawn through a 10 cm ring. Hello 3rd degree burns.)

Suuuuuper high voltage, almost no current needed.

imo iron man was never sci-fi, it was more of a magical realism where the "rule of cool" is law.

I mean we're talking about the same universe that has the likes of Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch bending and breaking every single possible rule of physics with a flick of the wrist.

Maybe they were adamantium superconducting wires?

The Dude is just tripping again.

The government did this so that repillians can contact children's minds directly and make them sheeple.

...oh wait, 3G?... No, that one's fine.
