Is iron man's suit possible?

source 1:

Yes, to make iron man's suit you need power. The glowing circle i the middle of his chest is his suit's power source. So you need to find a portable power source strong enough to power the suit. This is the hardest part. You could try a very strong battery with an automatic recharger, but that probably isn't going to have enough power. Now for the next bit, the jet boots. They aren't actually jet boots, they're ionization engine boots. Ionization engines work on electrons ionizing air molecules and then they get between two accelerator plates and then go zooming out the back. These can be very small but still very Effective as long as the power source isn't too big. This can also be used for the repulsor ray. The computer helmet almost already exists. There is already a helmet for motorcyclists which tells them their speed, RPM and gear, so this device can be modified. You could make the suit itself out of an outer layer of titanium (to protect you from the heat), and some gold, aluminum, steel and a type of indestructible plastic featured on the big experiment, and finally some shock absorbers.

For the moment this is the closest thing we have.

source 2:It is definitely possible to fake it and make something that certainly appears to act like in the movies. The artificial intelligence is certainly doable. The other guy who says that it would take tons of computers simply doesn't know what they are talking about. That's basically what a chat bot is. Heck, I even made one in high school using qbasic. It wouldn't be too difficult to add a speech to text converter so it could actually hear what you'ree saying and then respond intelligently. People have certainly done such things already. A simple example is those automated call service "people" who have you answer yes and no. And they are used on online "chat with customer service now" features. Most people don't even realize they are talking to a bot.

Now, the hologram part would be bit trickier. We can not make holograms like we see in the movies. That is simply not how they work. Fully animated and real time computer generated holograms are YEARS off. The closest thing out there now is probably Microsoft Surface. It doesn't use holograms but it is a touch screen device that lets you move things around like in the movie. 

We could certainly fake the technology from the movie though by adding a glasses-less 3D screen like the Nintendo 3DS will have with a Microsoft surface type device. You could even "feel" what you'ree touching by using a "touchable hologram" setup like in the link below.(Note that they are not really using hologram technology at all. They say they are but it's just a curved mirror and a computer monitor.)

So it would be possible to create something that looks and behaves like in the movie. It would take a lot of money and technical know-how though. Something Tony Stark has both of.

I don't have a very fine grasp on (reality) engineering, but from what I can think of off the top of my head, there are a few main problems.

For starters, fuel. We're having difficulty locating small, portable sources of alternative energy as it is. For an Iron Man suit to function and be portable, we would need a much more free supply. In the movies, that's repulsor tech. Repulsor energy is clean energy, rather than a liquid or gaseous fuel, greatly cutting down on the footprint. Not to mention that energy weighs nothing. It also doesn't seem to burn or generate heat while still mainting concussive force. Utilizing anything else could result in heating problems that would effectively turn the armor into a human shaped toaster. And while you could potentially wear fireproof padding beneath the suit, that would probably be destroyed by the second problem.

The moving parts. All those moving plates and gears, and beneath it all, is your skin/clothing. Ever gone to brush your hair, and had it catch on a snag? Similiar concept, except the snag is your SKIN, and the brush is STEEL PLATING. Which, by the way, you probably can't remove on the fly. Hence the need for Stark's removal rig in the movies. So that'd be excruciatingly painful, and anything caught up in works (like your FLESH) could potentially cause a problem that would result in even more things going wrong.

Also, moving around in the suit. Provided the above is fine, you would need motorized joints that could do the moving for you. These would be the source of 'super strength'. However, say your operating system is compromised. In reality, you'd probably have to use an AI to run all that, which is why Stark has Jarvis. Jarvis was designed personally by Stark, but the only way something like that is being made in reality (in the near future) and put into a suit is via linking to a supercomputer. Which could be hacked by an outside source and put under their control. Suddenly you're trapped in a suit that can move all on it's own. And say something goes wrong with that operating system. Such as you begin to move and it estimates you are going to turn a little to the left, thus causing the motorized joints in the suit to follow that movement. One small miscalculation and you are doing a one eighty ONLY FROM THE WAIST UP.

So yeah, I'll say a prototype of the suit could probably be made today. WIth a LOT of wasted money. Function properly with a person inside controlling it from within? Probably not, no.
