The video's creator attempts to make a real-life Iron Man repulsor, inspired by the Marvel superhero's glove-mounted blasters. He reviews existing attempts by others, including Jake Laser and James Hopson, but finds them lacking. He then decides to build his own repulsor using a vortex ring cannon, which uses a combustion reaction to propel a ring of air. After multiple trials and failures, he finally succeeds in creating a working prototype that can knock over objects from a distance. The video is interspersed with humorous commentary and ends with a promotion for KiwiCo, a company that provides hands-on STEM projects for kids.
