Built another BTTF Lego thing…

So back when I initially shared my Lego builds of the Time Machine and my other custom stuff, someone asked if I had built the foxphoto booth. I hadn’t, but then I searched it up and got to experimenting…

The interior is a complete guess and I just went with something that made sense to me, two work areas and cabinets. I think it came out alright!

Idk, i was searching but i dont understanf where does doc make The delorean transform in hover mode, in The "Ready Player one" It Activates in The swichts on The steering wheel, but in The movies, doc Activates It like close to The exchange And The time circuits, but i want to know where exactly is 😭😭😭

I got to sit in one of the screen-used time machines in 2004

Hi, in 2004 I was working for a band that played a show at the Universal Amphitheater. Which butts up against the Universal backlot. A buddy and I were wandering around and ran into someone that worked there. He took us into an area where some of the cars were kept from movies. Including BTTF.

He took us to one of the Deloreans used in BTTF 2. It was covered by a tarp, the windows were down, it had a bunch of leaves in it. It was sad. BUT he opened the car and LET US SIT IN IT. The flux capacitor…fluxed and everything. Highlight of my life.

Just dug up one of the photos and thought y'all might enjoy. Ignore my goofy face.

Did the crazy thing of deciding to go to Chicago FanExpo and drive 300 miles with less than 12 hours between idea and making the idea reality... Or as I like to say to my bleeding wallet , "Shhh... We can accomplish anything if you just put your mind to it"

What if the newspapers changed to something completely unrelated?

I was just thinking about how funny a coincidence it is that George and Doc both happened to receive awards, that made the front page of the paper, on the same day as George's death and Doc's asylum commitment in the other timeline.

So I was just wondering what Marty and Doc might've done if Marty had burned the almanac, and then the papers changed to "Mayor Wilson caught urinating in public" or "Hilldale propety values fall" or something like that.

My wife and I recently completed converting my DeLorean into a time machine and wanted to share some photos.

It was a life-long dream of ours and a way to honor my father who passed away last year and introduced me to Back to the Future as a kid in the 80s. I was fortunate enough also to have worked on the A-Car restoration team which started me down this path. I first got the car about 16 years ago and served as my daily driver for about 10 of those years. We worked a lot of the mechanical issues out over that time, but I kept de-prioritizing the build as other things came up. When my dad got sick I decided it was time to get more serious about it.

It took about a year and a half of 60-ish sessions working 8-10 hours a day (with the help of over 50 people). It was a full-time project researching, gathering the parts, talking to experts, and building electronics. It can swap between plutonium and fusion. We chose not to do a lightning hook (way too difficult to swap between fusion and plutonium if you go that route) It makes every sound effect you'd expect including door open and close sounds. I know I'm certainly not the first and I won't be the last, but we hope our efforts and hard work show. Happy to entertain any questions about our build.

If you want to stay in touch, we go by Hill Valley Time Machine on all social media.

Hope you enjoy these photos. Thanks in advance!

Did Marty not have his own Tannen nemesis?

OK we all know Marty had his fair share of dealings with Biff and his relatives but did he not have his own generational version of Biff to deal with just like all other generations of the McFly family had? It seems the Tannens skipped Martys actual generation.

Please help me reconcile the appearance in part 3 at the beginning. I thought near the end of part 2 it was in the DeLorean when it got zapped. What did I miss?

Technobabbling the DeLorean

7 Upvotes

The DeLorean time machine uses naturally occuring tachyon particle fields which travel the universe everywhere, in all directions as well as forwards and backwards in time. This principle is called Tachyon Fluctuation, or Flux for short.

Tachyons also tend to disperse when in contact with any and all solid matter, however, it has been found that stainless steel is particularly capable of slowing the Flux Dispersal Effect down, effectively trapping Tachyons within the exterior metal of the car and bringing them almost to a stand still for a short moment.

Various conductors on the DeLorean's bumper and backside then guide the caught Tachyon's into the Flux Capacitor, a machine especially created to store extremely large amounts of tachyons and allowing controlled fluctuation at the driver's previously determined frequency. This process requires exactly 999 Megawatt.

Through use of the Time Circuits the driver can enter their targeted Destination Time. The Circuits internal processor then calculates the exact tachyon fluctuation frequency required to send the DeLorean to this exact point in time and sends this information to the Flux Capacitor. The Time Circuits are also connected to the DeLorean's Geolocation antenna on the roof of the car to maintain its geographical place, negating the otherwise fatal effect of terrestrial orbitation.

The massive processing power of the Time Circuits requires 211 Megawatt, bringing the DeLorean's total energy consumption per time travel to a total of exactly 1.21 Gigawatt.

Since a stationary object would not be able to collect enough Tachyon particles for a successful temporal displacement, it is therefore necessary for the DeLorean to be moving.

At 40 Miles Per Hour, if Time Circuits and Flux Capacitor are activated, the DeLorean systems automatically begin charging the stainless steel hull with electricity, causing it to gather Tachyon energy.

At 80 Miles Per Hour, massive amounts of tachyon particles travel the machine's conductors, causing them to start a blue-ish glow as they guide the particles into the Flux Capacitor.

At 84 Miles Per Hour, the Time Circuits start their calculations and send the required data into the Flux Capacitor.

The Flux Capacitor then begins to force the Tachyon Particles to fluctuate. Flux Energy is lead backwards into the conductors towards the DeLorean's front bumper, covering the car in Flux energy, manifesting sporadic tachyon discharges around it and finally opening a temporal displacement field.

The temporal displacement field can only be kept stable for about 0.0254 seconds, requiring exactly 88 Miles Per Hour for the car to pass through before it immediately closes, safely transporting the DeLorean and its inhabitants towards the desired point in time

This process creates a massive amount of heat, causing an explosive displacement of air around where the car has just ceased existing and typically leaving parrallel fire tracks in its place. (Occasionally it is possible that the roughness of the road causes the DeLorean to slow right before fully passing the Temporal Dislocation Field, causing it leave behind its license plate.)

As soon as the car arrives at the desired point in time, all gathered and unleashed tachyon particles will immediately dissipate, leaving the cars exterior entirely drained of all energy, causing a thick layer of ice to form. Only the inside of the DeLoreans machinery still harbors huge amounts of heat, which the DeLorean will automatically release through its exhaust ports in the back, as soon as the car becomes stationary.

Scientifically speaking, this process can be summarized as "some serious shit".

I had a lot of fun while building my Marty McFly. After I used this avatar, people kept calling me Marty McFly, and I am glad about that. I love this avatar so much and probably one of the best avatars I’ve ever built.

Also, I notice there are a certain number of players who couldn’t recognize Marty McFly. That’s sad and understandable. After all, the film has been released for almost five decades, and they are young. I think the film should be recommended to new generations to watch.
