What other mode of transport requires this colossal amount of power ? Try the S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier at 317 gigawatts Giga is a prefix for units that typically means 10⌃9 This means 1.21 gigawatts would be 1.12 x 10⌃9 watts And a bolt of lighting is 5 x 10⌃9 Joules perfect for Doc Browns Delorean Time Machine For comparison a household current is 240 Volts (120volts for USA) and 16 Amps. So try to explain how much power this is the nuclear power reactors in a Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier produce 194 megawatts (1.94 x 10-8 watts)īut here we are talking about a Bolt of Lighting which is 300 million volts, and 30,000 amps. That’s an awful lot of watts, the kind you can only get from a plutonium-powered nuclear reactor, or a couple of seriously huge gas turbines or, say, a bolt of lightning ! In the film, it’s defined as 1.21 gigawatts (pronounced ‘jigawatts’ in the film). Even theoretically, the amount of power needed to create a wormhole (as yet, still only a concept rather than a reality) is barely conceivable. One of the key problems for the flux capacitor is energy. In European Spec - 150 BHP - 0.60 in 8.5 Seconds - Top Speed 129 mph In U.S Spec - 130 BHP - 0.60 in 9.6 Seconds - Top Speed 122 mph But the Time Machine conversion runs on something little more potent ….Ĭan a DeLorean go 88 mph? Yes it can it can : The Delorean runs on regular gas (petrol unleaded) to power its 2.8 v6 Peugeot Renault Volvo (PRV) ZMJ-159 engine. The short version is that nothing really stays in place, the world is constantly moving through space, so even a slight displacement in time would be extremely difficult to link up exactly with a particular point in space. Of course this is far more complex than we have described here, but again see our blog ' Is Time Travel Possible' for more detailed explanation. So you travel through time, but remain in the same relative place. The Flux bands allowing the traveller to enter the wormhole in one location in space, but emerge from it in a new location which is exactly the same in space, but entirely different in time. In this particular theory the space-time continuum is shown to be essentially spherical. The Back to the Future A-Car (the DeLorean used for close up filming) Flux Capacitor consisted of 3 high pressure gas relays connected to Glass Vacuum tubes. (See our ‘ Is Time Travel possible’ blog) Except this involves ties between quantum mechanics and classical mechanics. This would allow for the transition through the wormhole to happen at 88mph, the wormhole would have to be created by the Delorean harnessing two black holes, entangle them, and then separate them again. 1.21 Gigawatts of energy would be released from the Flux Capacitor through the Flux Bands (mounted on the outside of the DeLorean).
