IRON MAN ARC REACTOR PROP(picture at incomplete state of process)
Instructions included in post.

Tools needed:
Hammer, hatchet or crowbar (for general mayhem or what we call “engineering”)
Varied Philips head screwdrivers, some jewelers size (for opening VCR)
Rubber mallet (hammering VCR read head off of spindles.
Hacksaw, rotary cutting tool or really anything to cut plastic.
Light sand paper.
Items needed:
1x 12oz LockUps jar (Craft Store or Online)
1x Metallic Silver spray paint
1x Thrift Store VCR
2x FRESH Blue or White Glowstick Bracelets (one of each works)
1x Spool 10 YD 22 gauge Permanently colored copper wire (found in beading or jewelry making section of craft stores)
LocTite Super Glue
THE CORE
Open that VCR in whatever way you can. The goal is to get the Head drum [pic]. 
Use whatever means necessary to remove it from the VCR. My method was jewelers screwdrivers and a carpenters hatchet.
Once removed, use a rubber mallet and other implements to remove spindles, circuitry and magnets of the rotary transformer until all that stands is this [pic]
THE MOUNT
Remove top from LockUp jar.
Using a cutting tool (I used my Dremel)  cut the jar along the line in this picture [pic]
Throw away the lower jar part and keep the lip left over.
Sand the cut edges of lip until smooth and any plastic barbs are removed.
Use the metallic spray paint to put a coat on the screw top lid.
ASSEMBLE CORE:
After drying the paint apply LocTite adhesive to the flat side of the VCR head drum.
Glue the VCR head drum centered on the top of the screw top lid and allow adhesive to dry.
REACTANT AND INDUCTION COILS(These steps are best to do right before wearing) 
Crack two (2) Blue Glowstick Bracelet or one (1) Blue and one (1) White Glowstick Bracelet and assemble them with included end connectors.
Wrap several coils of copper wire (your preference of number) at equal spacings around the two bracelets as seen in this shoddy cellphone picture from Instructables. [pic] 
Place them in the area between the VCR Head and the screw top edge as seen in this posts photo above.
INSTALLATION:
Place jar lip under t-shirt on chest.
Screw assembled Arc Reactor onto the jar lip through t-shirt. The fabric between the pieces will hold the mount in place.
Become Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist Superhero (not Batman).
This prop was frustrating at first when I was going to make a powered model but needtodestroy swooped in an saved the day mid-build with the suggestion of Glowstick technology. She has much experience with props and costuming and her neural network is set up for that kind of problem solving.
Shame it is a commission and not something I will be wearing myself but then again who knows what I can build next?
If you do build one of these send me a message @transcieverfreq on twitter. (11:13pm)
commission: building an iron man arc reactor for a cross gen cosplayer 
testing the mount here. works perfectly. looking forward to wiring it up and adding induction coils.
ugh, i look gaunt. it’s been a long monday. (10:59pm)
