Iron Man's REPULSORS Explained!

A one-minute video overview about the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Tony Stark's Iron Man Repulsors, theirpowers, abilities and characteristics as depicted in the MCU movies, and Avengers expanded universe.

Built as a source of propulsion and flight stabilization, Stark Industries patented repulsor technology is the key component that grant Tony Stark’s Iron Man suits with the ability to achieve sustained flight.

Capable of drawing their power directly from a high-energy source, such as Tony’s Arc Reactor, Repulsors aid both Tony Stark and Shield as a superior form of clean, versatile propulsion, most notably for their ability to operate without the use of oxygen or a combustible fuel source – allowing the repulsors to work effectively while submerged in water, or in the vacuum of space. Beyond Tony’s Iron-man suits, he also outfitted the SHIELD Helicarrier with repusor technology realizing first-hand that the craft’s propeller blades were an inferior design, and vulnerability.

While the original intent for Repulsors were purely for the purpose of achieving flight, Tony soon realized that they work effectively as offensive weapons as well – incorporating them as the primary weapon in his future Iron Man suits.

Marvel movies featuring Iron Man's Repulsors are:
- Iron Man (2008)
- Iron Man 2 (2010)
- Avengers (2012)
- Iron Man 3 (2013)
- Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
- Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
- Captain America: Civil War (2016)

I've theorized that repulsors aren't nuclear powered: rather, they break apart atmospheric dinitrogen and combine it with oxygen (numerous high explosives use this combo) to create a highly explosive gas which can be used to propel him along. For weapon effects, I imagine a 'chargeup moment or two would project a high pressure stream outward, then ignite it, causing it to explode at around 20k fps or higher. That would achieve dramatic effect, to be sure.

Honestly speaking you didn't explain anything. You just explained what they are able to do. Draw energy from where and what he did with them. The burning question is what do they do with the energy to produce plasma and eventually thrust.

Really these don't obey laws of thermodynamics how can arc reactor and repulsive technology exist in reality

[tobyalain]

with repulser tech im surprised humans didn't become and massive space traversing species

Keep doing these! Your channel WILL blow up one day. You'll have many more subscribers eventually

I want to ask, how much would cost his arc reactor, unibeam and repulsor in real life probably?

[angrytexan]

What happens when you get hit by one of Tony starks arc beams?

[sempiecush]

Does it shoot out plasma or combustible fuel (fire)?

This is a "what is" video, not a "how" video. So you are still correct in your title but I'm disappointed.

I wonder what is the power source in the new helicarriers that uses repulsor engine
I mean the repulsors in the new helicarrier is gigantic af
