There are thousands who love Marvel’s iconic character IronMan and many love investing money in expensive collectibles and Marvel merchandise, but how many would go to the length ofbuilding one all by themselves?
That’s what this guy from Manipur did and succeeded. Accordingto ANI, the 20-year-old man created a replica of Marvel character Iron Man outof electronic waste.
Ningombam Prem, who hails from Heirok Part-2 village inThoubal district has no formal training other than observation-basedknowledge. He had earlier created a demo model of other robotic items, such as the mechanism of producing web from the hand like that of Spider-Man.
Prem’s youngerbrother persuaded him to make a replica of Iron Man’s suit, which he lateragreed to. He made the suit using discarded scrap materials, emergency lamps,electronic toys, syringes, speaker frames and even IV-fluid tubes.
"I have always wanted to create a robot since mychildhood days. But this craze for Iron Man costume started around 2015. Onereason for creating is -- I want to add this scientific effect in Manipurifilms as most of the stories are based on romantic films," Prem said.
"I collected most of these from electronic waste --radio shops and television. Since we could not afford to buy materials, I havecollected all these materials," he added.
Prem's mother, Ningombam Raseshwori Devi reportedly said,"Being a single mother, I could not afford to buy the things he needs.Knowing my financial constraint, he collected all the material from electronicwaste nearby. When he uploaded his creations on Facebook, people requested himto create more such things but so far no one visited personally to supportus."
He knows how to efficiently repairs television, radio andemergency lamps at home that otherwise requires the services of an electrician.
