think about it this way if they had had this in russia no chernobel incident would have occured. i'm saying stark could help the world and prevent further such incidents from happening. instead he kept it to himself and even told pepper to destroy the only other spare reactor.
But they didn't have this technology when Chernobyl happened.
I'm pretty sure his arc reactor can blow up, and cause even greater damage than a nuclear power plant.
hi i'm going to debate now about the logic of a guy that was in a movie where a guy makes a miniature reactor out of scraps of metal and parts he was given out of a cave like it's completely realistic and logical
[QUOTE=Grim Joker;21727901]I'm pretty sure his arc reactor can blow up, and cause even greater damage than a nuclear power plant.[/QUOTE]
nope, it only creates electricity (by means unknown), it doesn't cause the forced breakdown of nuclei causing a cataclysmic chain reaction.
So yeah, arc generators are safer.
Wait. Wasn't there going to be a big version of the reactor anyway? Isn't that what kills Mr. Bad Guy at the end of the film?
Think it this way:
1) Arc Generator gets released for public usage
2) Someone gets the idea to make a hugeass one to power a hugeass laser
3) The laser is used to blow shit up.
Replace laser with any energy-based weapon and you know the problem with releasing Arc generator.
The Arc Reactor was created "to shut the hippies up." It can only power Stark Industries, and it [b][i]was[/i][/b] pretty big. It would need to be much larger to power a single city. Plus it blew up at the end of Iron Man, killing Obediah... supposedly.
The Arc reactor is not cost effective on any scale. Even if Stark was to market his smaller version, it would be incredibly expensive for something that can only power (relatively) small things. Though it may be cleaner than nuclear power, it would be more expensive and probably more detrimental to the environment in the long run.
^^^ What snhnry and Void Skull said.
They talked about it when Tony showed his "chest reactor" to Obediah.
He could've done both and got even more rich.

[QUOTE=lordskelzor;21672813]tony stark gets injured in an attack, captured by terrorists and forced to build a missile. so he builds a suit to help him escape.
thats not so bad, but when you consider that after he got back rather than turn over an energy source that could replace nuclear power and have no ill effects on the environment he just said:
"nah i'll just drink some more and add more weapons to my shiny suit even though i made my company stop making weapons."

If he gave over the plans for the Arc Reactor he would have basically gave over the Iron Man Suit. The Iron Man Suit is basically built AROUND the Arc Reactor. If Iron Man Suits got out, it would turn the world into anarchy. So, it would have the OPPOSITE effect that the OP projected. Plus, 'palladium', ( [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palladium[/url] ) is required to run the Arc Reactor safely, cleanly and efficiently. Sure, Palladium is found in most everyday electronics, but there is not nearly enough to use on a large scale. It is also [i]extremely[/i] expensive.
OP, you just got fucking SERVED.
OP was wrong in the first place, he was already served, eaten, and shitted.
alright jesus i get it i just wanted to point out something in the film the made me think "that guy is a retard" but you guys all make valid points except for kymandu. i retract my statement made in the OP and apologise for besmirching the name of tony stark......FAGS

You're just an idiot, it had nothing to do with challenging Tony Stark's intelligence.

He does it at parties. The other day we were sharing party tricks and he pulls that one out of the bag AGAIN. Then he looked at us with that smile on his face that screams "I HAVE A MISSIVE DICK". Then he slept with my girlfriend. AGAIN. Goddamn Tony Stark!

Scraps? They asked him what he needed to build the missile, he told them but then went and built the suit.
Sure the main armor was scrap but even with whatever theoretical principle the reactor relies on, I'm sure it took more than scrap metal to make it.
If he had turned over the Arc Reactor, wouldn't a bunch of people get their hands on the design and start making weapons powered by it? I dunno.
Also, what GenericMonk said.
