We decided to build the Civil Warrior
Shield.
A Captain America shield complete
with an arc reactor built right into the
center.
Hey guys!
I'm really excited about
today's video because it is sponsored by
Marvel Contest of Champions.
Now whether you're on team Cap or
team Ironman I'm sure the questions
crossed your mind.
What if Captain
America had Iron Man's tech?
Well it's actually happened before in both the
comics and Marvel contest of Champions.
Which by the way is a super fun game.
They asked us to build some of the tech
from the game and we chose Civil Warrior' shield.
Now who the heck is Civil Warrior?
Well remember how I said there is a
Captain America who has Iron Man tech?
Yep.
Legend says Civil Warrior is Captain America
from an alternate earth that was
ravaged by the civil war between his own
army and Iron Man's forces.
On that world
the two heroes mortally wounded each
other in the final battle, Tony died, but
Steve survived.
Riddled with guilt from
the battles destruction and the death of
his former ally at his own hands.
He assumed the mantle of Civil Warrior and
re-purposed Iron Man's arc reactor tech
into his Captain America suit vowing to
stop the senseless conflict from ever
happening again.
Since Cap is one of my favorite
heroes and our original electro-magnetic
Captain America shield does not only one
of my favorite projects but one of our
most popular videos we've ever done.
We decided to build the Civil Warrior
shield a Captain America shield complete
with an arc reactor built right into the
center.
Now funny enough I think I
probably have more Captain America
shields and than even Chris Evans.
Lets go take a look at the armory and see
what shields we want to modify.
Ol' Faithful my first shield.
I am the Hacksmith
Alright this feels right.
Let's try it out!
Alright let's make sure the shield is
durable.
Ian why don't you demonstrate
how hard a two by four is.
Alright, alright two hits.
Lets see if I can do better.
Ha!
Alright next up, patio tiles.
Ian why don't you I hit with a baseball bat and
show how hard these concrete tiles are.
MMhggm.
Try again.
Bats cracked!
Yeah!
Alright now if you guys remember the
original Captain America electromagnet shield.
I tried doing five patio stones
and I was unable to do it.
Let's see if I can do it today.
You know what I think I can do six.
Give me a sixth.
That's frickin sweet.
Alright this
shields pretty darn durable, let's start
designing the Civil Warrior shield.
Alright I've got this fresh shield.
Before we can modify it I'm gonna have
to draw it in CAD so we can actually
design the new changes so let's get
started.
Beautiful!
Alright now that we have the
3D model of the shield we can start designing the
modifications to turn this into Civil
Warriors shield.
First up, let's make the frame of the arc reactor,
and we're gonna need a backing plate for
all the electronics.
Alright this is looking pretty good.
Let's start adding
the tech.
Have you ever seen these before?
They look like your standard 100 watt
super bright white LED.
Which we've made
several projects using them in the past
but these are actually 50 watt blinding blue LEDs.
Which work great for our
arc reactor segments.
So let's add them into the model.
Now in Marvel contest of
Champions Civil Warrior can do a special
move called overload.
Where he blasts his
arc reactor at his opponent.
Our blue LEDs will be blindingly bright
so it looks similar but this is Make it Real.
We're not just making a shield with
LED lights.
Luckily a friend of mine a
fellow Youtuber Styropyro hooked us up with
a 100 watt blue laser.
These are super dangerous
and some of the most powerful
laser rays in the world.
So naturally we're gonna put one in the middle of our
shield.
Speaking of Civil Warrior I've got to
tell you about Marvel Contest of Champions.
I know you guys love everything Marvel like I do.
I mean you're watching this video after all.
Which means you're gonna love
Marvel Contest of Champions!
It's a free-to-play mobile fighting game
that features over a hundred and seventy
champions from every multiverse imaginable.
We're talking all the Avengers, X-Men so
many different Spider-man
and even some original new characters
like Guillotine
2099 and Aegon.
Each champion has unique
abilities and features with astounding
animations.
It's an easy game to learn
but a challenging quest to master.
I love how it's easy to pick up and game when you have time
and you can also sync hours of
enjoyment as well.
It's super satisfying
to upgrade your favorite heroes and
battle your way to victory.
Plus you can finally
answer those questions like which hero
would win in a fight.
The best part is there's new champions,
stories, and challenges at every single month.
Plus as a special treat for my audience they've
agreed to give away a two-star Civil Warrior
for the next two weeks since
we're making a shield.

Now let's finish this shield.
In addition to the arc reactor the Civil Warrior
shield also has an electromagnetic
bracer not unlike the one we already
made a while ago.
So let's add a steel
backing plate to allow us to use our electromagnet.
Alright, 74 components in the build of
this shield.
That's a lot of parts.
I wish building stuff was easy as
designing it let's go make it.
Alright time to cut this out.
I'll just use my Ironman plasma gauntlet.
Alright we've got the plate made which
means it's time to install the LEDs but
before we do that we should make sure
that they all work so I'm just gonna
quickly test them all with this bench
power supply.
This time I'm gonna wear protection.
Uuuh.
Ah.
Ah.
Oof.
Ah.
Gah.
Geez!
I thought I thought that one was dead.
Okay they all work and all I can see is
purple.
The glasses they did nothing.
Next step installing them all on here.
I got all the LEDs installed.
Time to solder them all together.
Alright just need the connector.
Alright let's see if she works.
Hoo
Hoo
My eyes!
It's like staring into the power stone.
LEDs done.
Next up laser.
So again we got this laser from Styropyro fellow Youtuber and it's a 100 watt blue laser
Its power supply is inside this box and
it's actually water-cooled because it
creates so much heat.
So if you're
curious about how all this is actually
going together you can check out our
circuit diagram on Maker.io
Alright so how does it actually work well our
blue laser array is actually made up of
twenty blue lasers in a grid.
They're powered by the laser driver right here
and we've got a power pack with a four s
a three s and another three s lipo.
Which powers both the water cooling pump and
it can control the LED trigger to power
our arc reactor LEDs and the laser over
here.
So let's install this and then we'll be done.
Alright now we just have put in the
shield.
This will all fit right?
I've got the laser installed in the
shield now which means we can test it out.
This is one of the world's most
powerful blue lasers.
Literally a reflection of the laser light is enough
to blind you so it's really important to
be using laser goggles whenever you're
using any kind of lasers even low-power ones.
So let's see what I can do.
Right the laser is live we're going to turn
off the lights.
Here we go.
Whoo!
Just lights the wood on fire just
like that.
This is crazy!
Turn the light on!
Behold my beautiful sig-
Woah look like this literally ash
floating in the sky.
I'd say that's a
pretty good success.
In the real test we're gonna be exploding stuff.
The Civil Warrior shield is finished and it looks
absolutely fantastic.
We need to do an
amazing test so we've set up this
awesome obstacle course for me to run
through and really put the shield
through its paces.
Including a set of
walls for me to run through.
I've wanted to do that ever since I saw it in the
movie.
Alright that's more like it let's test
out this shield.
Shield!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Haha!
Hydra scum!
Alright that was freakin awesome!
I have my very own,
Civil Warrior shield.
