Adam: IRON MAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN
ONE OF MY

ALL-TIME
FAVORITE SUPERHEROES,

BECAUSE HIS SUPER POWERS
DON'T COME FROM MUTANT GENES

OR SOME TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
OF SCIENCE.

THEY COME FROM THE GENIUS
OF HIS OWN INVENTION.

IT'S ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC
SUITS OF ARMOR

THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN.

THERE'S JUST ONE PROBLEM.

CAN I GET SOME HELP?

AS GOOD AS THIS SUIT LOOKS,

IT IS STILL JUST
A WORK OF SCIENCE FICTION --

A CLEVER MIX OF PLASTIC, GLUE,
AND FOAM, AND A NICE PAINT JOB.

BUT IT AIN'T REAL, AND I WANT
TO MAKE A REAL IRON MAN SUIT.

YEAH, I REALLY DO.

IN THIS EPISODE...

I SET OUT TO MAKE MY OWN SUIT OF
IRON MAN ARMOR FROM TITANIUM...

I AM SO READY
TO FIGHT CRIME.

...ONE THAT CAN TAKE A BULLET...

SURVIVE A BOMB BLAST...

AND ONE THAT I CAN FLY IN --
AT LEAST, I HOPE SO.

THIS IS "SAVAGE BUILDS."

SO, HOW DO WE GO ABOUT BUILDING
OUR OWN SUIT

OF IRON MAN ARMOR
FROM TITANIUM?

THERE ARE, IN FACT, A LOT OF
MOVING PARTS TO THIS EQUATION.

FIRST AND FOREMOST,
WE NEEDED PERMISSION

FROM THE OWNERS OF IRON MAN,
MARVEL STUDIOS,

FOR USING THEIR CHARACTER.

AND WITH THE BLESSING OF
STUDIO PRESIDENT KEVIN FEIGE,

WE GOT THAT PERMISSION.

OH, THANK YOU, KEVIN.

THEN, WE NEEDED ACCESS
TO THE ORIGINAL DIGITAL FILES

THE IRON MAN SUIT
WAS BUILT FROM.

SPECIFICALLY, I CHOSE
THE MARK II PROTOTYPE SUIT

FROM THE FIRST FILM,

'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE BUILDING --

A REAL IRON MAN PROTOTYPE SUIT.

THOSE FILES RESIDE AT LEGENDARY

HOLLYWOOD EFFECTS HOUSE,
LEGACY EFFECTS.

AND SHANE MAHAN
AND HIS TEAM SUPPLIED US

WITH ALL THE DIGITAL FILES
WE NEEDED TO MAKE OUR SUIT.

MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU GUYS.
THANK YOU.

BUT WE HIT A SNAG,
BECAUSE THOSE DIGITAL FILES

WERE MEANT TO BUILD
A MOVIE IRON MAN SUIT.

IT'S PLASTIC.
IT'S RUBBER.

IT'S A LONG WAY
FROM BEING BULLETPROOF,

BOMB-PROOF, OR TITANIUM.

SO HOW DO WE GET
FROM THERE TO OUR SUIT?

WELL, THAT ALL BEGINS WITH ME
GOING BACK TO SCHOOL.

WELCOME TO GOLDEN, COLORADO
AND THE BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS

OF THE COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES.

NOT MIMES,

MINES.

IN 2017, THIS WAS RANKED AS
THE TOP UNIVERSITY IN THE WORLD

FOR MINING AND
MINING-ENGINEERING STUDIES --

THINGS LIKE ORE
AND MINERALS AND METALS.

THEE PERSON WE'VE COME TO SEE,
PROFESSOR CRAIG BRICE,

IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE ADVANCED
MANUFACTURING PROGRAM --

ONE OF THE TOP PROGRAMS
IN THE COUNTRY

FOR TEACHING ADDITIVE
MANUFACTURING.

YOU MIGHT NOW THAT
AS 3-D PRINTING.

AND CRAIG HAS
A SPECIAL PRESENT FOR ME.

IT IS A ACTUAL PIECE
OF OUR ARMOR,

3-D PRINTED OUT OF TITANIUM.

I'VE GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU.
OOH!

YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?
I PICKED AN EASY PART.

THIS IS --
IT GOES RIGHT HERE.

PERFECT.
OH, DUDE!

I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE
SPEECHLESS ON CAMERA,

BUT I AM SPEECHLESS.

THAT IS GORGEOUS!

YOU WANT TO SEE THE REST?
OH, YEAH.

LET'S GO.
LET'S GO.

♪

OOH, AHH!

YOU ARE LOOKING AT 250 SEPARATE
PIECES OF IRON MAN ARMOR

THAT WERE 3-D PRINTED
IN TITANIUM.

TITANIUM IS A NATURAL MINERAL

WITH THE HIGHEST
STRENGTH-TO-DENSITY RATIO

OF ANY METALLIC ELEMENT.

IT'S STRONGER
THAN CERTAIN TYPES OF STEEL

AND A FRACTION OF THE WEIGHT.

SO, HOW DO YOU PRINT
250 SEPARATE TITANIUM PIECES

OF IRON MAN ARMOR?

WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH
TO PARTNER UP

WITH THE MANUFACTURER
THEMSELVES, EOS,

WHO MAKES THE VERY PRINTERS
THAT WE'RE USING.

AND THEY HAVE BEEN DONATING
PRINTING TIME ON MACHINES

THEY HAVE ALL ACROSS
THE UNITED STATES FOR MONTHS

IN ORDER TO GET READY
FOR THIS EPISODE.

ALL UNDER THE GUIDANCE
OF LEAD ENGINEER AUSTIN ISAACS.

NOW I CAN HEAR YOU WONDERING
IN YOUR HEAD

JUST EXACTLY HOW THESE
PRINTERS PRINT IN TITANIUM.

WELL, IT BEGINS WITH
A FINE TITANIUM POWDER,

TO WHICH YOU ADD
A HIGH-POWERED LASER.

THE PRINTER ITSELF TAKES THE
DIGITAL FILE YOU WANT TO PRINT

AND DIVIDES IT INTO THOUSANDS
OF HORIZONTAL LAYERS.

THEN FOR EACH LAYER,
IT LAYS OUT A FEW MICRONS

OF THE FINE TITANIUM POWDER,

AND THE LASER COMES IN
AND DRAWS THAT LAYER.

AND BY DRAWING, I MEAN IT MELTS
THE TITANIUM POWDER

IN THE EXACT PATTERN
THAT THAT LAYER NEEDS TO BE.

THEN IT LAYS DOWN MORE POWDER,
AND THE LASER MELTS SOME MORE.

MULTIPLY THAT PROCESS
BY THOUSANDS OF TIMES,

AND EVENTUALLY...

YOU HAVE GROWN A SOLID TITANIUM
PART FROM FINE POWDER.

THE PIECES WERE SENT BACK
TO CRAIG,

WHO, WITH THE ASSISTANCE
OF SOME DEDICATED GRAD STUDENTS,

GOT THESE PARTS CLEANED UP
AND READY FOR ASSEMBLY.

AND THAT'S WHERE
WE ARE RIGHT NOW.

FINAL PIECES.
OH!

OH, MY GOD, LOOK AT THAT!

GRAD STUDENTS SARAH AND JESSIE
WORKED ALONGSIDE

CRAIG TO HELP
MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

WAA!

Sarah: AS YOU KNOW, IN
"IRON MAN," THE ICONIC

CHEST PIECE
THAT LIGHTS UP --

YEAH, THE PALLADIUM ARC REACTOR
THAT POWERS THE SUIT.

YES, SO I MADE YOU
A CERAMIC CHEST PIECE

THAT'S ADDITIVELY
MANUFACTURED.

OH, MY GOD,
LIGHT COMES THROUGH THIS!

-YES. YES.
-YEAH.

YOU ARE INSANE!

LET'S BE CLEAR -- OUR VERSION
OF IRON MAN'S ICONIC

GLOWING CHEST PIECE
IS STRICTLY DECORATIVE.

OUR SUIT WILL NOT BE POWERED

BY A VIRTUALLY UNLIMITED POWER
SOURCE LIKE THE ARC REACTOR.

THAT IS STILL VERY MUCH
SCIENCE FICTION.

AND UNLIKE THE TITANIUM SECTIONS
THAT WE HOPE WILL STOP A BULLET,

THE CERAMIC PIECE
IS NOT BULLETPROOF.

-GOT IT?
-LOOK AT THAT.

-WOW.
-THERE WE GO.
THAT LOOKS SO GOOD!

SO I THINK
WE HAVE ENOUGH, UH,

FOR FITTING YOU UP
WITH ONE ARM --

THE HAND, THE FOREARM,
THE BICEP AND TRICEP,

AND THE SHOULDER
WITH THE PAULDRON.

FABULOUS.
SO THAT SOUNDS PERFECT.

OOH.

OH, GOOD.
THAT'S NICE AND SOLID.

RIGHT.

PINKIE. THANK YOU.

I AM SO READY
TO FIGHT CRIME.

HEY, DIGITAL POST GUYS,
CAN YOU GIVE ME AN EFFECT HERE?

MEET RICHARD BROWNING,
INVENTOR AND CHIEF TEST PILOT

OF THE GRAVITY JET SUIT.

WHAT HE'S ACHIEVED IS
AN ACTUAL FLYING RIG

THAT ONLY WEIGHS
A COUPLE OF DOZEN POUNDS,

THAT A HUMAN COULD WEAR
ON THEIR BODY.

♪

♪

Browning:
I'VE ALWAYS HAD A FASCINATION
AND A REAL PASSION FOR FLIGHT.

I HAD A BACKGROUND
FROM CALISTHENICS TRAINING,

AND BEFORE THAT IN THE ROYAL
MARINES RESERVE IN THE UK.

AND THAT TAUGHT ME A LOT ABOUT
THE CAPABILITY OF THE HUMAN BODY

AND MIND WHEN REALLY
FOCUSED ON A CHALLENGE.

AND I THOUGHT
IF I TAKE THAT INSPIRATION

AND APPLY IT
TO HOW HUMANS CAN FLY,

WHY NOT JUST GO SUPER MINIMALIST
AND ADD JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT

OF HORSEPOWER
TO THE HUMAN MIND AND BODY,

AND SEE IF YOU CAN APPROACH THE
CHALLENGE OF FLIGHT IN THAT WAY.

IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE IDEAS
THAT HAS ENDED UP,

WELL, REALLY TAKING OFF.

Adam: IT TOOK RICHARD NEARLY
TWO YEARS TO DEVELOP, TEST,

AND MASTER THE ART OF FLYING
HIS PROTOTYPE JET SUIT.

AND I'M GOING TO ATTEMPT
TO LEARN HOW TO FLY IT

IN JUST A MATTER OF HOURS.

WALK ME THROUGH THE BASICS.

Browning: WE'VE GOT A JET SUIT
HERE WHICH IS MADE UP

OF FIVE JET ENGINES --
REAL MICRO-VERSIONS

OF THE GAS TURBINES
YOU HAVE ON A JET FLIGHT

OR AN AEROPLANE YOU GO
ON HOLIDAY IN.

NOW, THE ARRANGEMENT
WE'VE ENDED UP WITH

IS TWO ON EACH ARM
AND ONE 'ROUND THE BACK.

AND IF YOU IMAGINE THAT REALLY,
BETWEEN THOSE FIVE ENGINES,

THEY CREATE LIKE THREE LEGS
OF A CAMERA TRIPOD.

RATHER THAN CONTROLLING
THE THROTTLE

OF ALL OF THOSE ENGINES,

IT'S WORKED REALLY WELL TO DO
SOMETHING CALLED VECTORING.

THE IDEA IS AS YOU SQUEEZE
ON THE POWER,

YOU'RE LEANING FORWARD SLIGHTLY
SO THAT REAR ENGINE

IS ACTUALLY
LEANING BACK A BIT.

-OH, RIGHT. RIGHT.
-SO THAT'S YOUR --

THAT'S ONE LEG OF YOUR
THREE-LEGGED CAMERA TRIPOD.

OH -- OH, OKAY.
OKAY?

AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE OTHER
LEG HERE AND THE OTHER LEG HERE.

AND THE IDEA IS, YOU SQUEEZE
ON THAT POWER AND THEN

AS YOU BRING THE ARMS INWARDS,
GRADUALLY, ALL OF THAT POWER

IS ENOUGH TO OFFSET YOUR WEIGHT
AND THE WEIGHT OF THE SYSTEM.

AND THAT'S WHEN, AS I HOPE
TO DEMONSTRATE TO YOU,

YOU'LL SEE MY FEET

JUST COME KIND
OF EFFORTLESSLY OFF THE GROUND.

SO IN TERMS OF FLIGHT CONTROL,
YOU ACCELERATE THE THROTTLE

TO THE PRESET POWER LEVEL
THAT'S REQUIRED FOR YOUR WEIGHT

AND THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE --
SOME VARIABILITY THERE.

SQUEEZE THAT TRIGGER IN,
AND YOU FEEL THAT POWER.

♪

ONCE THAT POWER IS THERE
AND POINTING OUTWARDS,

YOU JUST START BRINGING IT DOWN.

AND AS YOU VECTOR DOWN,
YOU LIFT OFF.

IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO
ROTATE YOURSELF,

ALL YOU'RE DOING IS JUST SORT OF
ROBOT-ARMS KIND OF ACTION.

BUT YOU'RE JUST POINTING
A LITTLE BIT OF THRUST

BACKWARDS ONE WAY
AND A LITTLE BIT THRUST FORWARDS

THE OTHER WAY,
AND THAT WILL INDUCE A ROTATION.

IF YOU WANT TO GO LEFT,
THEN ACTUALLY JUST POINTING

YOUR RIGHT-HAND ENGINES
TO THE SIDE

WILL ACTUALLY TAKE YOU LEFT,
AND THE SAME TO THE OTHER SIDE.

THE SAME WITH FORWARD
AND BACKWARDS.

IF YOU WANT TO GO HIGH,
YOU KEEP VECTORING DOWN.

IF YOU WANT TO COME DOWN,
YOU FLARE BACK OUT

AND THEN YOU JUST GENTLY SINK.

I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD
TO YOU HAVING A GO.

LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE, TOO.
I AM!

Adam: YES, I'M EXCITED.

BUT I'M ALSO NOT RECKLESS.

WE'LL BE TAKING SOME SIGNIFICANT
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

BEFORE I GO AIRBORNE.

IN A FEW MINUTES, I'M GONNA
PUT ON RICHARD'S JET SUIT,

UNDER WHICH
I'M GONNA WEAR A HARNESS

BECAUSE I'M GONNA BE CONNECTED
TO A ROPE...

SO THAT I MAY TRAIN TO FLY

WITHOUT THE HIGH STAKES
OF DYING IN CASE I CAN'T FLY.

ALL RIGHT, JUMP UP.

[ GROANS ]

PUT YOUR
RIGHT ARM IN THERE.

CAN YOU FEEL
UNDER YOUR THUMB,

THE KILL SWITCH --
LITTLE BUTTON?

YEP.
OKAY.

AND THEN,
FEEL THE TRIGGER AS WELL.

SO PULL THE TRIGGER,
PULL THE TRIGGER.

MY GOAL IS THAT RICHARD
TEACHES ME ENOUGH

THAT I CAN FLY UNTETHERED,

BECAUSE IF I'M GOING
TO BE IRON MAN,

I GOT TO FLY WITHOUT A ROPE.

BUT I ONLY HAVE A FEW HOURS.

WE HAVE THE AMOUNT OF TIME
WE HAVE TODAY

FOR ME TO GET COMFORTABLE
ON THAT RIG

SO THAT I CAN TRY IT
IN THE IRON MAN ARMOR.

HONESTLY, I'M NOT SURE
HOW I'M GONNA DO.

THERE YOU GO. THAT'S YOUR
1,000 HORSEPOWER JET SUIT.

WE'RE GOING TO START AT
50% POWER FOR MY BODY WEIGHT,

AND THEN INCREASE THE POWER
OUTPUT IN 10% INCREMENTS.

BUT IT'S ENOUGH TO BE ABLE

JET SUIT HAS ABOUT

A FIVE-TO NINE-MINUTE

Browning:
EACH TIME WE REFUEL, WE JUST
GIVE HIM MORE AND MORE POWER.

Adam: MY ATTEMPT AT FLYING
FELL A LITTLE FLAT.

THIS RIGHT HERE IS ONE
OF THE HARDEST SKILLS

I'VE EVER HAD TO LEARN.

NOW IT'S TIME TO COME BACK
DOWN TO EARTH.

BEFORE I CAN RESUME
FLIGHT TRAINING,

I NEED TO JUMP BACK IN
TO THE PAINSTAKING WORK

OF ASSEMBLING
THE HUNDREDS OF PIECES

OF THE IRON MAN MARK II ARMOR.

THE IRON MAN SUIT
IS BACK IN SAN FRANCISCO,

AND IT IS ASSEMBLY DAY
HERE IN THE SHOP.

WE HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH
OF TITANIUM PARTS,

AND IT'S TIME
TO GET IT ALL TOGETHER

SO IT WILL BE WEARABLE BY ME
BY THE END OF TODAY.

HERE'S HOPING
IT ALL GETS TOGETHER.

WITH 250 INDIVIDUAL PARTS,
GETTING ORGANIZED IS KEY.

THE FIRST STEP IS
LABELING AND SORTING

SO WE KNOW JUST
HOW EVERYTHING FITS TOGETHER.

Man:
IT'S LIKE THIS IS THE UPPER PART
AND THIS IS THE LOWER PART.

NEXT WE BEGIN
THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS,

WHICH STARTS WITH FIGURING OUT

HOW TO FASTEN THE PIECES
TO EACH OTHER.

WORKING WITH TITANIUM
POSES A UNIQUE CHALLENGE.

ONE OF THE REASONS WE WANTED
TO GO WITH TITANIUM

IS BECAUSE IT'S SUPER LIGHT
AND LEGENDARILY STRONG,

BUT THE DIFFICULTY
WITH THAT STRENGTH

IS THAT WE NEED TO ATTACH
THESE PIECES TO EACH OTHER.

AND NO DRILL THAT WE HAVE
IN OUR POSSESSION...

ACTUALLY EVEN MAKES A SCRATCH
ON THIS TITANIUM.

IN FACT, THE ONLY THING
WE'VE FOUND THAT ALLOWS US

TO ATTACH THESE PIECES
IS THIS INDUSTRIAL HOLE PUNCH.

CHECK THIS OUT.

THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE
A HOLE IN TITANIUM.

RIGHT?

BUT THIS ISN'T EVEN THE THICKEST
STUFF WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH.

THE KNEECAPS ARE LIKE,
TWICE AS THICK.

I DON'T EVEN HAVE...

THE HAND STRENGTH.

SO WE HAVE TO USE A CHEATER.

YEAH.

THIS HAS BEEN A JOURNEY.

AFTER HOURS OF HAND-BRUISING
TITANIUM HOLE-PUNCHING,

WE CAN FINALLY START
RIVETING THE PIECES TOGETHER

AND ASSEMBLE EVERYTHING
INTO BIGGER SECTIONS

OF THE SUIT ITSELF.

THERE WE ARE.

I AM SO ECSTATIC
WITH THE INCREDIBLE GROUP EFFORT

THAT IT TOOK TO PUT
THIS THING TOGETHER...

SO, I'M GONNA TURN THEM ON.
ALL RIGHT.

WHOA!

...THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
ACROSS THE UNITED STATES

WHO GALVANIZED THEIR
INTELLIGENCE AND THEIR INGENUITY

AND THEIR COOPERATION
TO HELP US ACHIEVE THIS...

[ LAUGHTER ]

ALL RIGHT.
I'M DONE WORKING TODAY.

I'M JUST GONNA WALK AROUND
WITH THIS.

IN ADDITION TO BEING STRONG,
TITANIUM

IS ALSO RESISTANT TO CORROSION,
CRACKING, AND HIGH TEMPERATURE,

AND IS USED AS A COMPONENT

IN A WIDE ARRAY
OF MILITARY WEAPONS --

FROM AIRPLANES TO NAVAL SHIPS,
SPACECRAFT TO MISSILES,

AND, YES, ARMOR PLATING.

WE'RE HOPING OUR ARMOR
WILL BE ABLE TO STOP A BULLET

AND SURVIVE A BOMB BLAST.

TONY STARK'S GOT SOME BIG LEGS.

BUT THERE IS ONE
MAJOR WEAKNESS IN OUR SUIT.

PLEASE, DON'T TELL THE BAD GUYS.

WHILE 95% OF OUR SUIT IS 3-D
PRINTED IN TITANIUM BY EOS,

IT'S NOT
ENTIRELY TITANIUM.

AND THAT'S BECAUSE TITANIUM
IS REALLY HARD,

AND MY FLESH
IS REALLY SOFT.

AND IN THE TRANSITIONS
BETWEEN THE TWO,

SOMETIMES WE NEED
SOME OTHER MATERIALS

THAT ARE MORE,
SHALL WE SAY, FORGIVING.

IN THE FILMS, THE IRON MAN ARMOR
IS NOT ONLY SUPER STRONG

BUT AMAZINGLY FLEXIBLE --

A FLEXIBILITY THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE
TO REPLICATE IN REALITY

USING 100% TITANIUM.

SO WE HAD TO MAKE
SOME ADJUSTMENTS.

FOR INSTANCE, OUR ABS HERE
ARE ACTUALLY MADE

IN A FLEXIBLE URETHANE.

THIS GIVES ME
SOME REAL RANGE OF MOTION.

THE SHOES ARE ACTUALLY
3-D PRINTED IN POWDERED NYLON,

A MATERIAL
I AM KIND OF SURPRISED

HOW ROBUST AND RESILIENT IT IS.

THIS WAS PRINTED BY A COMPANY
NAMED DINSMORE INCORPORATED.

THANK YOU GUYS
FOR THAT DONATION.

AS WE CLOSE IN
ON FINISHING OUR ASSEMBLY,

I'D LIKE TO SEPARATE
FACT FROM FICTION HERE.

TONY STARK'S SUIT IS A FICTIONAL
PIECE OF ENGINEERING.

IT HAS A BUILT-IN LIFE-SUPPORT
SYSTEM.

IT MAKES HIM SUPER STRONG.

IT'S PRACTICALLY INDESTRUCTIBLE,

IT HAS AN ARSENAL
OF ADVANCED WEAPONRY,

AND IT CAN FLY.

THE MILITARY'S BEEN
TRYING TO DEVELOP A SUIT

LIKE THAT FOR DECADES
AND HASN'T EVEN COME CLOSE.

OUR REAL SUIT IS BASICALLY
A TITANIUM SHELL.

WE HOPE IT WILL BE BULLETPROOF,
WE WANT IT TO BE BOMB-PROOF,

AND WE PLAN TO TRY
AND FLY IN IT.

BUT IT WON'T BE
THE FULLY-FUNCTIONAL SUIT

WE SEE IN THE FILMS.

BUT TO MY EYES, IT IS A THING
OF SURPASSING BEAUTY.

AND AFTER DAYS
OF LABORIOUS ASSEMBLY,

IT'S FINALLY TIME
TO PUT IT ON.

BUT IF YOU SURVIVE
BOTH OF THOSE THINGS,

YOU CAN STILL BE HARMED
OR KILLED

BY THE BLAST PRESSURE WAVE.

THAT IS, AS THE EXPLOSION
IS EXPANDING,

IT CREATE A FRONT OF AIR MOVING
AT AN INCREDIBLY HIGH SPEED.

AND WHEN THIS PRESSURE WAVE
GOES THROUGH YOUR BODY,

IT MOVES EVERY ATOM OF THE BODY
A FEW MICRONS

AT WELL PAST THE SPEED OF SOUND,

AND TURNS THE INSIDE
OF YOU TO JELLY.

IT'S AWFUL.

SO HOW DO WE TEST
WHETHER OUR ARMOR

CAN PROTECT A WEARER FROM THAT?

WELL, THAT'S WHY I'M STANDING
ON THE BOMB RANGE

IN ALAMEDA COUNTY RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS A BURST DISC.

IT'S MADE BY A COMPANY
CALLED OSECCO,

AND THESE BURST DISCS
HAVE BEEN CALIBRATED TO BURST

AT ANYTHING OVER 75 POUNDS
PER SQUARE INCH OF PRESSURE.

AND THAT IT AN AMOUNT
THAT WE HAVE CALCULATED

AS A PRESSURE
THAT WOULD DEFINITELY KILL YOU

IF YOU RECEIVED IT
NEAR AN EXPLOSION.

FOUR IS REALLY CLOSE.

BUILDER JEN SCHACHTER AND I
WILL PLACE THE BURST DISCS

AT THREE FEET, FOUR FEET, AND
FIVE FEET FROM THE EXPLOSION.

THE FURTHEST DISC THAT RUPTURES
WILL DETERMINE OUR DEATH ZONE.

THEN WE'LL REPEAT THE EXPLOSION
WITH THE IRON MAN ARMOR

IN THAT DEATH ZONE.

♪

FOR OUR EXPLOSIVE,
WE'RE USING C-4.

IT'S A PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE
DETONATED BY TRANSMITTING

A SMALL ELECTRICAL CHARGE

THROUGH A DETONATOR CORD
TO A BLASTING CAP --

A SHOCK THAT TRIGGERS
THE EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL.

THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF.

A MILITARY-ISSUED
BLOCK OF C-4 WEIGHING

JUST OVER A POUND
COULD DEMOLISH A TRUCK.

WE'RE USING ABOUT 1/3 OF THAT --
A GOLF-BALL SIZE CHUNK

POTENTIALLY LETHAL
TO AN UNPROTECTED HUMAN.

READY FOR THE BLAST
WHEN YOU GUYS ARE.

MAN#2: Alright.
Three, two, one.

OH, WE LOST ONE
OF OUR BURST DISCS.

IT JUST POPPED RIGHT OFF
OF THE STAND.

Adam: WATCHING THE HIGH-SPEED
CAMERA, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE

THE DETONATOR CORD
DELIVER THE CHARGE --

WHICH IN REAL-TIME
TOOK LESS THAN .04 SECOND.

YOU CAN ALSO CLEARLY SEE
THE SHOCK WAVES

THAT HIT ALL OF OUR DISCS.

LET'S CHECK THIS ONE OUT.

ALL RIGHT.
OH.

OH, YOU GOT THE GoPro
AND EVERYTHING.

HELLO.

THE FOUR-FOOTER AND THE
FIVE-FOOTER ARE BOTH NOT BURST,

SO THIS IS OUR DEATH ZONE --
THREE FEET.

NOW THAT WE HAVE USED
OUR BURST DISCS TO DETERMINE

THE PERFECT DEATH ZONE --

THE DISTANCE AT WHICH THE BLAST
PRESSURE WAVE WOULD KILL YOU --

IT'S TIME TO PUT OUR
IRON MAN ARMOR IN HARM'S WAY.

AND TO DO THIS, WE ARE
USING NOW FOUR BURST DISCS.

AND WE ARE GOING TO PLACE
TWO OF THEM INSIDE THE ARMOR

AND TWO OF THEM
OUTSIDE THE ARMOR.

LET'S GO THREE FEET.

PERFECT.
AWESOME.

AND AFTER WE DETONATE,
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

IS ANY DIFFERENCE IN BEHAVIOR
FROM THE ONES

THAT WERE INSIDE
TO THE ONES THAT WERE OUTSIDE.

AFTER ALL THE TIME AND EFFORT

THAT WENT INTO
BUILDING THIS SUIT,

I CAN'T BELIEVE
WE'RE ABOUT TO DO THIS.

MAN #2: Three, two...

COME ON, IRON MAN.

...one.

♪

WOW!

HE'S STILL STANDING.
YEAH, HIS HEAD'S STILL ON

AND HIS BODY'S STILL THERE.

THAT WAS
A REALLY GOOD THUD.

EXCELLENT.
WE'RE ALL CLEAR.

ALL RIGHT.
WELL, LOOK.

ON FIRST PASS,
THE SUIT ITSELF SURVIVED

THE EXPLOSION ADMIRABLY.

THE HELMET DID GREAT.

WE LOST ONE OF HIS EARS.

OH, WE LOST BOTH EARS.

HIS RIGHT EAR'S
OFF WAY OVER HERE.

OH, WE DID!

OH, NO WONDER
HE CAN'T HEAR.

LET'S PULL THE CHEST OFF.

OH!
WHAT, IS IT --?

THESE TWO BURST DISCS
OUTSIDE THE ARMOR FULLY BURST

ALL THE WAY THROUGH,
AS WE WOULD TOTALLY EXPECT.

BUT THE INSIDE ONE IS UNMARKED.

SO CLEARLY, THE ARMOR RENDERED
A LETHAL EXPLOSION SURVIVABLE.

I HAVE TO SAY WHEN WE STARTED
DOWN THE PATH OF THIS PROJECT,

I HAD NO IDEA
HOW ELABORATE IT WOULD GET

AND I REALLY DID NOT EXPECT
THIS MATERIAL --

THE 3-D PRINTED TITANIUM --

TO PERFORM SO WELL,
BE SO RESILIENT,

AND TO HAVE THESE INCREDIBLE
MATERIAL PROPERTIES

THAT IT IS CONTINUALLY
DEMONSTRATING.

BUT BEFORE WE CALL THIS
AN OFFICIAL SUPERHERO SUIT,

IT NEEDS ONE FINAL TEST
OF ITS EFFICACY.

AND THAT IS, OF COURSE, FLIGHT.

♪

Adam: WE TESTED OUR IRON MAN
SUIT AGAINST BULLETS...

EXPLOSIONS, AND NOW IT'S TIME
FOR THE FINAL CHALLENGE --

DEFYING GRAVITY.

TODAY IS THE DAY I AM PUTTING
ON THE IRON MAN ARMOR

AND, HOPEFULLY,
FLYING UNTETHERED.

Browning:
LAST TIME, HE WAS ON THE TETHER.

HE MADE REALLY AWESOME PROGRESS.

HIS BALANCE AND STABILITY
AND CONTROL

WAS REALLY COMING TOGETHER.

WHAT WE'RE HOPING TO SEE
THIS MORNING

IS THAT HE CAN ACTUALLY GET UP
AND HOLD A SUSTAINED HOVER.

AND IF HE MANAGES TO DO THAT
AND LAND IT SEVERAL TIMES,

THEN WE CAN CONSIDER
TAKING HIM OFF THAT TETHER

AND THEN POTENTIALLY
ADDING THAT ARMOR.

ARMS IN.
ALL RIGHT.

GOOD?
ALL RIGHT.

THAT ONE'S GOOD.

[ ENGINES POWERING UP ]

Adam: I FEEL KIND OF OPTIMISTIC
THAT I'M ACTUALLY GONNA BE

ABLE TO MAINTAIN A HOVER

THERE'S NO WAY I SHOULD FLY

I'M NOT HURT,
BUT IF I WASN'T TETHERED

I COULD'VE BEEN
SERIOUSLY INJURED.

I'M NOT SURE I WANT
TO ADMIT THIS,

BUT AT THIS STAGE
OF MY FLIGHT TRAINING,

FLYING UNTETHERED IN A SUIT
OF IRON MAN ARMOR

IS PROBABLY A BAD IDEA.

THE REAL GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE
EVERYONE IS SAFE.

I THINK THE LAST THING I SHOULD
DO AT THIS MOMENT

IS STRAP ANOTHER 25 POUNDS
OF TITANIUM

ONTO MY BODY AND TAKE OFF
MY TETHER AND TRY AND DO IT.

I DON'T THINK
THAT'S SAFE AT ALL.

THE GOAL WASN'T
FOR ME TO FLY THIS SUIT.

THE GOAL WAS
FOR THE SUIT TO FLY.

SO I DON'T MIND THAT IT'S NOT ME
