We are one step closer to all having Iron Man suits. Now, we've seen cool cosplay before, even ones with mechanical features, but this is a step beyond normal cosplay. The Laser-Gadgets website posted this video of a self-made and functional Iron Man gauntlet that has moving pieces, lights, and a higher intensity laser that is capable of popping balloons. Check out the full video below.

According to Patrick Priebe's Youtube page, the German who created this beast and the founder of Laser-Gadgets, this gauntlet cost around three grand to put together. While brilliant in design, the gauntlet "runs on 1x 18650, plus 2x 14500 Li Ion cells. 2 blue lasers on board, 1.2W each, plus 2 4mW for aiming." Higher intensity lasers create heat, which can pop the balloons. This just adds so much awesomeness to this piece. By far, this is probably one of the coolest realizations of a piece of comic book tech.

What do you guys think of this video? What piece of comic book tech would you like to see in real life?

Thanks to @danhimself for sending this our way.

Easy question really. The... Ultimate Nulifier. Oh I know who I'd use that on. heh.

Wowza

Remember seeing this awhile ago, never stops being awesome though!

That's terrifying.

This is FREAKING AWESOME!!!

Now I want the Batgauntlet that throws the pikes/batarangs

I want one!!!

Mind. Blown.

That's easy, someone bring me my hammer, Mjölnir!

I want to go to Disney Land with that thing and pop some balloons!

well that was six kinds of lame. and 10 tons of not-even-real-comic-book-reader. he just saw the movies and had too much time on his hands.

It's starting.

Really now, and you know this all from that one video? And what of it if this person was inspired by the movies, isn't that, y'know, the point of the movies? To inspire people, through these characters, to look into the realm of the impossible? That's not lame, it's called imagination.

Seriously, that was actually pretty impressive and just shows what one can do with time, effort, and the desire to create something new and interesting. Which this person succeeded at.

@war_killer: @jason_x22: don't feed the Troll!

...Yes, oh sweet merciful God in heaven YES!!!
I think I have found a new goal for next year!

just think. about $7,999,999,997 and he can have a whole suit.

Why didn't he blow up more stuff. The laser lights was pretty boring.

this

Did doode could make so much MONEY!

( + )

That is so awesome.

Sell it to Disney mass produce and get 50% of every sale along with a cosplay suit, I like this.

He's gonna be a billionare!!! if he's amrt about it.

Whoa!

Wonder Woman XXX

Absolutely amazing. The only thing I would say is that it seems like it is too small for his arm and pinches his flesh. Other than that, it is 100% brilliant.

they aren't really that powerful...you can light a match with one after holding the laser on the match head for a few seconds but that's about the max

Haven't seen this in a few months. Kind of forgot about it.

@danhimself: Still would like to see more of what it can do beside retracting and him taking it off and on.

Let's see you build a working, replica of Iron Man's gauntlet and do better. Then we'll talk about "pretty boring". ;]

Damn Germans!!!

Ever since WWII 'merica has been taking victory laps and talking bout how great we are. Meanwhile the Germans are building top notch luxury cars and freakin Iron Man suits.

No wonder we suck at math. We got a A+ on one exam and decided we're too smart for the class. Man, this video just reminded me of how dumb my country is.

Pretty amazing really when you think about it! Looks a bit like it pinches the skin though, but that is pretty darn amazing. Far as what tech, I'd love to have a combination of Hawkeye's and Green Arrows bolt shafts of course that do all the interesting things!

@ama_sama: Challenge Accepted

@night_thrasher: Don't worry in France, it's the same... since the Lumières !

hmm saw this a couple months ago, was hoping it was an update. Thanks anyway though

Wow..want one

Oh. My. Gosh!

This is freaking amazing and terrifying at the same time!

pretty cool, wish the clip was more interesting though.

cool

@thetimestreamer: Man you had a Ice cold Tall glass of hater-aid this morning huh? lol

yeah it screams movie Iron man, but that is still a cool piece of comic geek tech

@mrfuzzynutz: better than the glass of toilet water you had. to each his own.

Oh man, this thing is incredibly awesome. It even has moving parts! I wonder how much knowledge, time, and trial and error this took to make.

just as Deborah answered I'm shocked that anyone can make $8691 in 4 weeks on the internet. have you read this site ....................zee44.com

Very cool.

Awesooome!

I just want to add that we also haver german beer which makes us even better.....well and propably made it that i will never build a Iron Man gauntlet but whatever. :-)
