if you missed it, and would like to see this in action, set your clock for 1:59 am on today's date, and it won't roll over to 2:00 unless it's a stupid piece of crap.

You reminded me of something.

If Mr. Fusion still generates the 1.21 gigawatts needed to travel through time, in the form of electricity, why is there the big issue about not having gasoline to move the car?

Doc on his "crude and not to scale" model train set already had an electric motor for his train, why not just make a bigger electric motor for the car?

Making the motor in 1885 isn't on the difficulty level of making the time circuits out of vacuum tubes, mercury diodes, synchotrons, and trochotrons in 1955.

Dude, even in current times, it's hard to make an electric car that can go as fast as a gasoline powered one.

well with speed limits on freeways around 55-70mph, that should be fine depending where you are

of course, a 10mph increase in the car would be fine
<Nach> so why don't the two of you get your own room and leave us alone with this stupidity of yours?

Well, if it's powered by AOL's gaseous energy, I'm sure you will power it into tomorrow at best.

Only to realize that the releasing said energy killed the entire human race in less than 24 hours.

Well, everything depends on the purity of the energy. However, I heard some food Taco Bell were consumed. I'm not sure how that could have been prevented. :?

Actually, there are electric cars that can reach in excess of 80 mph.

Anyway, I'd like to see YOU wind a 50+ bhp electric motor in a week in a time where copper wire was nearlu unheard of and lacked enamel insulation. I'd be a hell of a ride, too. No speeds.

Then I'd like to see you rip out an engine block and replace it in that time.

Though I can't imagine putting railroad tires on a car would be easy either.

Yes, and the limitation is the batteries or fuel cells, not the motor. We're talking about Mr. Fusion here. The "this is heavy" stuff.

Also, it makes no sense how at the end of the second movie where Doc gets sent to 1885. Rotational velocity != Linear Velocity.

If that be the case, they could've just placed the DeLorean on a merry-go-round, wrapped a rope around with the other end attached to some horses, and sent them running.

And who needs 80 bhp? Or Copper? It just needs to be something to produce enough torque given the almost limitless power source.

He invented the time flux capacitor in 1985. In the first movie, he only had a sketch of it in 1955.

well 30 years is a lot of time. just look at what all you have accomplished in less than 30!! (nothing)

j/k kisses

p.s. whoever heard of synchotrons, and trochotrons pffft :roll:
