![]() ![]() Near enough everything I got on ebay, I love ebay. In this instance its best to replicate the relay as best as possible. Some of the parts are very hard to get hold of such as the Torr Vacuum relays (TRV-1 high voltage relay) if you can find them they sell for serious money, often sold by Back To The Future prop geeks for ridiculous prices. WARNING: this instructable includes flashing lights and strobe effects especially on the videos. I will be making other Back To The Future props including the Time Circuits so make sure you subscribe to me to get updates by clicking "follow" in the top right of the window. The idea was to create a flux capacitor that was as close to the film as I could get, and at some point I want to put it in a Delorean. I decided to come back to it with my now improved skills and technology, and this time I have something awesome!! So about 10 years back I decided I wanted to build a flux capacitor, but I got stuck back then because I didn't have the correct skills at that time and I was making a mess of it, so I shelved the project. I watched it at the cinema over and over, I was very lucky that my great uncle was a projectionist so I could just sit in show after show. The fact that this device forces microwaves to flow in only one direction around a central area makes it remarkable because it breaks something called time-reversal symmetry-a theoretical law of physics that states that if you reversed time, you’d see whatever just happened, happen exactly in reverse.Since the release of the film back in the 80s I have been obsessed by the film Back To The Future watching the trilogy repeatedly. This makes the device perfect for quantum computing, where researchers need to direct signals with precision-not the kind of time travelling you had in mind, unfortunately. In other words, signals circulate around the circuit in only one direction, just like cars on a roundabout. In a flux capacitor, microwaves are the ‘something’, and the channel they move across is a central capacitor. The ‘flux’ part of the term flux capacitor, is the amount of something moving across a certain area. The research, which was published in Physical Review Letters, uses the “quantum tunnelling of magnetic flux around a capacitor, breaking time-reversal symmetry.” Capacitors are common devices in the world of electronics that store energy. The scientists behind this project proposed two different potential circuits, and one of them borrows the same design of the three-pointed flux capacitor Doc Brown and Marty McFly used to travel both to 19. The device is actually a new type of electronic circulator that can control the directional movement of microwave signals. The only problem is that this one doesn’t let you travel back to the 1950s. Being able to travel through time, imagine that! Well, as it turns out, in 2018, scientists from Australia and Switzerland created a real-life flux capacitor. Not long ago, I rewatched Back to the Future and while the end credits were scrolling down my TV screen, I couldn’t help but wish that the flux capacitor was a real thing.
