It's called an Arc Reactor. In the movie, it's clean energy source that powers his suit. But more importantly, it powers the electromagnet that protects Stark's heart from the shrapnel embedded in his chest. However, the second movie reveals the arc embedded in Stark's chest is made of palladium, which is slowly poisoning him.
