What are arc reactors?

ARC stands for “affordable, robust, compact.” The design is a fusion reactor that’s based on the tokamak, using magnetic fields to contain plasma at a high enough temperature (tens to hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius) to maintain the conditions necessary for fusion.

Do arc reactors actually work?

The concept of the arc reactor doesn’t work in real life because it violates the Law of Conservation of Energy. Energy can’t be created or destroyed, only transferred. The arc reactors in the MCU are essentially perpetual motion machines, which don’t work.

Is Arc Reactor tech possible?

Sustained fusion reactions of Hydrogen atoms on a small scale is enough to power a block of homes for their sustainable lifetime. Two: the technology is actually a possibility, and MIT believes that a real Iron Man reactor could be created by the year 2025.

Is the Arc Reactor unlimited?

Although the arc reactor is immensely powerful, it isn’t actually an unlimited source of power.
