Your voice is like Jarvis.
Well Paul Bettany and I are both brits. I don’t know if Jarvis in the comics is supposed to have a brit accent?
@@SimonBenjamin he is British in the comics professor
Jarvis is iron mans dads assistant (fun fact from endgame)
@@SimonBenjamin Yes. Actor Paul Bettany, who plays the voice of JARVIS or Vision, has a British accent and was born in Great Britain. I think a user interface of this complex type like JARVIS is a matter of the near future. :). I wish you good luck in your further work, Professor. I've always enjoyed your lessons: D
Jarvis is howard stark's butler

not a bad idea but physics of arc reactor would be much appreciated...many fans would love that ...hope to see that video soon
@@rudra8705 Hmm well I'm not sure how much information we have on it from the film. Do we know much beyond the fact that it is a compact thing with a ring like structure and wires wrapped like a "toroidal solenoid"? Difficult to tell what the physics could be just from that, although we can put limits on in like I did in this video.
5 Years Later: AI part is the easiest
yeaah thats what I thought😂😂
I believe Jarvis is still way ahead what we currently have. Or at least most of what we have. He's incredibly intuitive and performs many functions with ease. It's also impressive how well he can be transferred to other computing systems, just like how he did in the first movie when transferring in a matter of seconds into Tony's suit. The incredible amount of data involved in his AI would need a lot of computing power and storage, plus a transfer of it I imagine would be time consuming. He would be the equivalent of an AI with a giant training model covering just about anything and an extremely complex layered neural net.
I loved your take on Ironman. I really admire how he was a science based hero. I did a video reaction to the aerospace elements of this film. But I'm really glad to covered the arc reactor. That's definitely something I didn't want to get into. I'm more of an aero guy.
Yeah I watched that nice video
I just watched your video!
Your video recomended me this video.
He slipped up and said designed 😊
This video came up after yours
I have a two-year physics degree myself, and this is awesome. Iron Man is my favorite superhero. My favorite fictional character of all time is Doctor Doom.
Yeah iron man inspires us to think what we can do without superpowers! I don’t know so much about doc doom but he seems to have an interesting story as a leader
@@SimonBenjamin Except the Tony Stark's brilliant mind is a sort of superpower that along with his wealth allows him to create the powers of flight, super strength, durability, and various projectile and energy weapons that let him strike at a distance.
I only studied physics in school, but this only requires fundamental knowledge of newtonian mechanics, which most of us in India learn in grade 11.
@@PankajDoharey I got you this 🏆
Same characters really. But doom uses magic too. In truth, technology and magic are one and the same.
Tony stark: You can't understand my Math
Meanwhile Prof. Benjamin: hold my beer
This awesome educational video from an Oxford professor only have less than 500 views? This is ridiculous. GJ tho.
Was fun to make so it's all good. Glad you enjoyed.
The majority of people aren’t smart so this is expected.
i guess Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any assistance you can offer me.

18:06 Distributed thrusters is actually a thing that Tony adds in his Mk-2 suit once he comes back home (probably because of the massive injury he faced after the crash landing of the crude Mk-1 suit). If you nitpick through the first montage of him training to use his new suit, you will see the initial pre-flight caliberation sequence that Jarvis runs during the suit up. Everytime Tony enters his flight mode or uses his palm thrusters for offensive blasts, the distributed thrusters in this back also light up and fire off for counterbalance. These tiny thrusters, accompanied by tiny moveable winglets, from my observation are present near his abdomen, higher back, middle back, thighs and leg calves which help him in his flight balance and save him from momentum impacts.
Well, these kind of videos should definitely get more attention. From people with your educational level and your professional approach, it's just so good to watch. Plus, viewers learn something. The expression when you talk about Hulk is phenomenal. Nice!
Just to clarify one thing. When Tony explained his reactor’s power it was the first one and in the movie he upgrades it and the bad guy stole the upgraded one and he had to use the old one that he made in the cave and the A.I said that one is not designed to fly.
Also the tank hitting Tony it doesn’t show it was direct most likely it just grazed him and sent him off balance.
Thanks for the math you doing amazing video by the way I love it.
Yep true we don’t know whether the tank shell was direct or glancing. However if you watch the scene the impact does dramatically change the way Tony is moving, so there is a big change in momentum, and his body would have to pay the price for that.
And yep the power reactor gets better over the movie (and over following movies) I guess I’m saying that even the first one has plenty of power to make the things we see possible (from and energy point of view at least).
Simon Benjamin thank you for explaining everything man appreciate that.
@@SimonBenjamin You are dangerously right!
didnt expect luffy to say something so smart
@@SimonBenjamin I would love a updated video on the suit.
Since the tech he's using in the suit can be something like graphene or carbon nano tubes or artificial muscles that is either dampening the force that the armor pieces on he's suit experiences and counter reacts that down to the level that makes it equal to the damage he took as seen when he's home and out of the suit.
And the suit has a pressurized internal area for him and he's body too.
And the shell he got hit by can also just be a AA shell/shrapnel shell or a HE shell, since it's Shooting at a flying target witch would mean any sabo or anti armor rounds would be most likely not used for something like that at those ranges (1-2km by a estimation of the distance shown in the movie) and since he lands or crashes some hundred meters away from the tank it's self maybe as much as 500m but more likely around 100-200m out.
The arc reactor on the other hand can be a more advanced version of the prototype large plasma/fusion reactors we are currently testing and building here in europe.
And last but not least....he's weight....200kg is not that much for something that advanced....so i'd increase it to at least 400kg maybe even 500kg.
Love the break down and how you have done the video.
I actually really enjoyed this video, I love how you’re diving in to the physics and explaining the science behind the power that would be needed. The arc reactor, I think of it as a cold fusion, which of course is something that hasn’t been successfully achieved yet (to my knowledge) and then if we did get it started, how stable would it be. Great video
Love this video so much! I inspire to be an engineer and physicist one day, so the more the knowledge I learn the better! keep up the content!
This is the first video I'm watching in your channel, and this video really excites me since I'm looking forward to taking physics class next year in high school! Thank you for making this video so interesting and helpful.
Awesome video sir, This channel is so underrated, your content is awesome, thank you professor
You are a hero and you cleared off my all the doubts about Tony's suit
And Thank you for this wonderful video.
And plz keep making videos like this.
this is better than most 10-50k subbed channels you desrve more views and subs this was great! you got a like from me
GREAT VIDEO ! I always thought about the momentum thing , finally satisfied with your mathematics too.! thanks !!!
Incredible video. Fun and informative. Loved it, and I've watched a lot of videos about science of superheroes
Great video!!!!! Aside from the inertia dampeners lol you should do more videos of this this one was really good
Really enjoyed your explanation of the types of forces on the suit. Ive always questioned that to myself.....lol. but job well done.
This video is gonna blow up, keep up the good work!
New note: adding pillows to the suit
This is a very excellent video ! How he explains his ideas and uses facts to back it up.
I really loved this video, as an Iron Man fan, your explanation was marvelous, very great one!
I really enjoyed and learned a few things from this video. Keep it up ❤️
Awesome video! Inspiring aspect of physics. Keep it up :)
Damn !! It didn't feel like a 20+ min video !!
Kudos mate ! Great job !! 👌👌👍👍
Hello
This video was a 3 in 1
science
english (i'm french)
and superhero story
I've learned so much in 1 video... Thanks alot !
Glad you enjoyed it Milo!
love every bit of this! fantastic
Amazing Video, i like your enthusiastic approach it was very enjoyable!
Love the explanation of conservation of momentum. I’ve seen other films overlook this fact as well. Bulletproof, even missile proof, doesn’t mean momentum proof!
You should talk more about those kind of super hero science stuff, I Just can't get enough of It!
This was a very nice video on exploring the physics of Ironman. & while I was not upset by the "nitpick" [which was fair to point out] I still really appreciate your concern. Its good to keep the optimism going, & it still ticked a lot of boxes as to how plausible such a suit would exist in real life & that's what I loved most of all.
love the way you transmit you passion to physics. I'd love to assits to your classes, sincerely.
What a great explanation. Good job professor.👍🏻
I enjoyed this video
Thanks for making this video
really like your approach to analyzing the physics.
Momentum conservation makes a perfect case for the infeasibility of such a suit today, at least one that can carry a human inside of it. Generating an artificial gravity field, one whose intensity and direction can be instantly controlled at will, might solve the problem, but this is definitely a project for the far future :)
Thank you for the nice analysis!
The irony is that If you have the capability to manipulate gravity, you don't need such a suit, it would be useless.
@@manu144x I think the suit is still useful in that case actually. It would be much more clunky, and in a combat scenario, disadvantageous to you if the environment was modified to create that artificial gravity. Not to mention much more expensive. Whereas the suit as a localised environment will always have an actively modified gravity for the user only.
Joe Rogan joined the chat
Wouldn't reactive armor from a Modern tank - if it covered his suit - negate much of the momentum of the incoming penetrating shell?
@@dunkeykung1162 If you can manipulate gravity just make a gravity field around you and any object thrown at you would just stop and ‘fall’ back. Or go around you. Also, any object can be weaponized.
Maybe you’d need the suit so you have weapons onboard and look cool but beyond that not much :)
I think I have to watch this video 5 more times. Great explanation with a light of speed😊
Great video I hope you eventually do more like this
Wow... your explanation was super clear ... I understood everything that you explained and it was interesting.
I’m sure it’s been mentioned but we actually see most of Tony’s suits have additional thrusters in the shoulder blade and calf areas. The portrayal of these features varies between movies but it is in fact there. Also I would imagine as the genius defense contractor & weapons designer he is, he would make sure Jarvis is constantly on alert for nearly imperceptible threats to auto engage before Tony could even react or simply without His input. I mean we now have pretty decently self driving cars, albeit with room for improvement, they can parallel park, tell if somethings in their path, stop or attempt to avoid collisions, and maneuver down a highway pretty easily… so it’s probably safe to say tony incorporated micro thrusters akin to those on satellites or large sea vessels to maintain stability or do fine course corrections.
Regardless great insights here, I’ve seen this vid a couple times over the years and it’s always a joy!! Thanks dude!
Always wondered these questions, thanks for the vidoe prof. Subbed.
Bro this video is awesome you did a great job explaining it
Just discovered this channel from the ycombinator interview. I love it. The new bleeding edge iron man armor from infinity war might allow for some sci-if momentum dampening effects though. Going on a tangent here, but could you do a video on how the postulates for schrodingers wave equation came into being, like the wave function has to be continuous especially at the boundary of a finite potential, etc ... and also how did max born choose to interpret schrodingers wave eqn as a probability distribution by taking the magnitude of the complex wave function? How did max born even thought of the wave eqn this way ? Thanks 🤘🏿
Thanks for the comment -- yeah Tony's tech got pretty close to star trek over the Inifinity War and Endgame movies.
Interesting idea for a video on the origin of quantum theory. I'll have to think about it -- but I'd also have to do some research since I don't actually know the full story of the early history of the field.
Love the description of forces as being communicated too
He somewhat solved the momentum issue on his MK-42. You are great in your work.
I know this is four years old but seriously….I wish I had a teacher like you to help explain me abstract concepts like this. My problem was always visualizing it and that prohibited my relation and in turn my learning. If you I could have had someone like you teach me using comic books and movies….I have been such a better student. Good job dude and thank you for doing this.
Also to kind of bring a bit of nerdiness into this: the movie does depict several additional thruster through out the suit for flight stabilization. If you review the scenes when he is developing flight in the suit you can see these several tiny thrusters in the exposed boot as he successfully lifts off. I do not know if they are enough thrusters or anything like that for what you said. But i believe we are left to assume there are several flight stabilizing thruster through out the suit. One could assume that power could be routed to those thrusters in a big way via automation in the form of the algorithms in the Jarvis AI. I dunno if I am on the right track or reaching. I am but a simple aircraft mechanic here lol but I would love to get your feedback….even though I am four years late to watching your video.
Thank you again so much
I can't believe RUclips brought this to me after 4yrs, this video is amazing ❤️❤️
Thank you Professor. You don't know how useful your video is. Thank You once again.
I like that you took the very optimistic and enthusiastic approach to the physics of Iron man.
Sir your way of explanation is beautiful enjoyed this video very much I wish if you are my physics professor it would be amazing 🤗
Awesome video! That was so interesting especially since I want to work on your field. -I gotta say though, you sound kinda like Jarvis, iron mans assistant
12:10
It depends on what kind of projectile hits him and if it's hit as you have assumed wich is basicly worst case scenario or if it's glancing hit (bounce) wich can be anywhere from deadly to survivable.
From the short clip shown in movie my best guess for shell type is some kind of HEAT shell wich uses explosives in the shell to get trough armor.
Ok
dude, you sound so excited about it. you must be an awsome teacher.
Thx for making this video
Great video! Very informative and efucational!
Love this video, thanks
Become a very big fan of yours from last some days.I like the way you are explaining the physics behind IronMan armor(India).
Glad to hear you enjoyed it Nisha!
Sir my name is Tanish. Nisha is my aunt's name.
I really enjoyed it keep it up
This is a really interesting video, loved it! I also recently thought about how in the opening scene of iron Man 2, he's doing a superhero landing going from what seems to be very high speeds to a complete stop in an extremely short time. So I was wondering how he could stay completely safe and sound after such a extreme impact and acceleration, and also how he didn't just fell through the platform helanded on 😂
As long as the suit is moving at the exact same speed as Tony than it’s ok. Same thing as when your driving a car. As long as you are going the same speed as the car than your ok. It’s when you keep moving vs the suit or the car your in that you die or get hurt. Hope that made sense
@@RONJAE212003 yup, when your car suddenly stops, you'll still have momentum, same for Tony's suit!
Great Talk.🚀🙏🏻
Would really like it if you talk more about Events of Physics in
the Marvel / Science Fiction World.
Great video!
I loved how you explained everything
That was fascinating. Thank you.
Extremely adorable sir...Hats off to you!!!
Kindly make more videos like that
I'd like to make more when I get the chance!
I really liked this. I'd love to see your hinted at "Physics of Hulk" video, but couldn't find it.
I really like this video, I am not the smartest person. I am not even a great mathematician, however the in depth descriptions and simplified explanations really helped me to understand what was being spoken about. I greatly appreciate that. I love watching videos like this, but unfortunately I don't know any who do it as well, or with such great exuberance.
Very good video professor, thank you for making it.
Thanks for watching!
thank you for making a video about almost every IM physics argument I've had since 2008
Thanks for mentioning the acceleration, I kept thinking when watching that he would have turned into mush so many times.
In the Three Body Problem series of sci-fi novels (highly recommend, but spoilers ahead FYI to anyone reading this), this exact pasting actually happens to the entire crew of a couple ships, whose captains override safety systems and activate 120g acceleration despite none of the crew being immersed in (and breathing diffused oxygen from) inert fluid which would otherwise have been required for them to survive. Quite a way to kick the bucket for sure.
Are you related to DIY Perks? Lol mostly joking but y’all have a very similar mannerisms, facial expressions, and intelligence levels. Thanks for making this video, It is a joy to watch!
Great video. I especially appreciated the last part with trying to fix the issues. What about an alternative where Tony would be submerged in a liquid/water, allowing him to withstand much more acceleration than usual?
Great video, congratulations. I love it
10:24 I would like to point out that that number is the total energy consumed over the distance.
And that’s a fraction of what the reactor produces in a second. So basically, with these assumptions, the suit could fly 10km in under a second (starting with 0m/s)
I loved your video from its first sec to the last. 🙂 I've (also) graduated as a physicist but still could learn some stuff during watching your explanation...from the point of application. When seeing, I adored the first Ironman movie for its realistic (compared to other comic book movies) and tech-based point of view, but never thought about from this perspective...thanks for it! This is a good example of using basic laws in a more popular environment. 😉
P.S.: Iron Man is my favourite Marvel hero...dispite this fact the explanation wasn't still disappointing. 🙃
Excellent explanation ❤️
This is awesome, you really inspire me with the physics. Am going to put more effort to acquire such knowledge, and try inventing some cryz staff like tony. Tank you very much for the explanation. It really give me hope for my future plans.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on Evangelion's robots. Great video! I've spent a lot of thought into how a real-world iron-man suit would work. The G forces really are impossible to stop so we've come to the same conclusions
What beautiful explanation!
Fantastic explanation
Great analysis
The next videos are pdes ? And you like comics ? You've got yourself a new fan
The point of the arc reactor is that it is self-replicating, and once you get it going, it doesn't stop. Like cold fusion is supposed to be. Man, cold fusion, that takes me back. Val Kilmer's movie the Saint was about that, too.
this video saved me for my physics project, thank you
Like these explanations thank you
Great video, I really loved it. In the comics at least, Tony had come up with a neat way to bypass the problems of acceleration of the suit on the human body internally of flight forces g's, and also externally from incoming objects, i.e the tank shell, or whatever else, via his Tony Stark patented "inertial dampening field" (exactly like you mentioned for the STTNG). So that IDF would minimize or cancel out incoming tank shells, suddenly massive momentum acceleration/deceleration launching into flight/landing or slamming into the ground as he did. Tony Stark as a mega-super genius did come up with the inertial dampening field, his mini-ARC reactor, his very intelligent general AI JARVIS,, and even more. I would think the one thing that he couldn't do, would be to create a near 100% efficient power reactor to generate 3 GJ/s / 3 MW of power from something that tiny, Without it creating either a huge amount of heat or radiation as well as by-products of its power generation, so cooking him inside the suit by that alone, or irradiating his body in the course of the power generation. Tony did come up with a Structural Integrity Field (SIF) to reinforce his armor from penetrating hits from incoming high-velocity rounds, armor-piercing around, etc. and thereby making his armor pretty much nigh-impregnable except by extremely powerful impact forces to over-power the suit defenses, and magic of course.
Ah that’s interesting, I’m glad that the writers thought about the problem and made it so that Tony has solved it. I think it’s really, really hard to solve though - probably a problem for hundreds of years in the future, rather than a really smart guy in the current era.
For a power source that doesn’t get hot... that’s more of a huge engineering challenge than a problem with basic physics. In principle you can add a heat pump (powered by a fraction of the reactor’s output) that takes waste heat to anywhere you want it e.g. the flight boosters. Mind you, practically all today’s power systems DO use ‘thermal reservoirs’ to just dump heat, and Tony can’t do that, so a lot of the innovation in the suit would need to go into this issue.
I’d you have that then what’s the point of the full suit? To show off?
@@SimonBenjamin
Tony is portrait as that smart, he can even invent time travel in some weeks!
I loved your video. Very educational and useful as well. But you said that you want to explain the physics of the "Incredible HULK" movie.. It's been 4 years and you still haven't done that!! Make that video please.
Awesome video
BRILLIANTT, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO PROFESSOR.
I am a high school student from Indonesia and im really interested in physics. I wanna ask professor, is it possible to make a flying tech, imagine its like a long shoes that at the calves part i make a slim hole that fits aerodinamicly with my legs and works like a vacuum cleaner, sucking air in big mass and push the sucked air from my foot to act as a booster so that i can fly, and also make the same tech in my arms to control the direction when im flying. I cant stop thinking about this theory lately but i need a professional to guide me, i hope i will be as smart as you and you responded to this thoughts, thank you professor.
Hi, thanks for the comment. Well what you are describing is similar to the way regular jets work (which heat up air to make it expand and push it out the back) or drone engines (which are just fans to push the air) so it would definitely be possible according to physics! The challenge is to have a light and powerful source of energy to make it all work. The recent progress in drones is partly because of better batteries, but you'd need something even better to lift a human and keep them flying for a reasonable time.
You should try putting that device on your Center of mass so yo can probably fly or hover without falling becouse of your legs balance
@@SimonBenjamin what if we use the air as source of energy.Like as it can be used to make renewable energy..
Hey i am actually interested in ur idea
I am ready to make this true
I too wanna make this dream come true
Let's make a real suite
what about heat distribution this is a big thing if it made thrust that can lift you in that kind of space there isn't a metal that can last very long without melting and fusing with your hands and feat
Tony somehow tanking all the g-forces he’s subjected too throughout the mcu is the hard pill to swallow for me.
Please make more videos you're channel is really good
Thanks! I’d like to... anything in particular you’d like to see?
I loved this video Sir..🙂
im so glad you brought up the momentum problem, i was about to ask that in the comments but then ive watched the whole thing and the last half of the video is all about it lol
Yep it's the key thing... and true of so much superhero stuff when you think about it
Great video
Thanks sir for the explanation 👍🏼
I think many of us already knew, surviving the kind of impacts shown in the movies, is the *unrealistic portion... But this is a great video! Congratulations
*Unrealistic meaning it defies the laws of physics not that it goes beyond present technology.
You're awesome man
While i couldn't comprehend some concepts you're a great teacher
My understanding of the momentum issue was that the forces are distributed uniformly through his body by diamagnetic repulsion, similar to the levitating frog demo, but scaled up.
