Flux CapacitorI never miss the chance to make a Back to the Future reference. Apparently on eBay over the weekend, somebody won a replica of the De Lorean's Flux Capacitor that's seen in the film. Remember Doc hits his head after slipping off the toilet, and this image appears to him?

Seller 83delorean created the Flux Capacitor with real glass tubes, gold bases made from aluminum, a custom-built circuitboard, and white LEDs.


Yesterday, after 51 bids were placed, the lucky winner was usa1775 for $555. But be on the lookout, because the seller may offer another replica on eBay soon.


Watch the Flux Capacitor in action.

Any knows that capacitors do not have flux, they store electricity in an electric field. Inductors store energy in a magnetic field and have magnetic flux when operating. If you are interested in time travel, you need to use a LaPlace transform to transform the time domain to the frequency domain, heterodyne (shift the frequency), and use an inverse LaPlace transform to return to the time domain. The object will be shifted in time proportionally to the frequency shift. Now the secret is out.
