    Cool vid. Best explanation I've found so far.
    The projector-looking thing on the roof of the DeLorean was unofficially called "wormhole emitter" by fans till Bob Gale gave a list of the parts, which names it "tachyon field generator". That was when I realized the DeLorean generates tachyons to create its wormholes, which's pretty cool.
    And about the flames from the tires: If you look closer, the flames aren't actually coming from the tires themselves but parts on the car's underside that are behind the tires, which shoot the flames downwards. In BTTF 3, when Marty goes to 1885, the flames behind the rear wheels don't touch the ground but shoot backwards instead, and sparks from the flame sources shoot upward and around the wheels, prolly damage caused by the lightning strike or the DeLorean crash landing in 1885.

    • @asteroiderer
      @asteroiderer ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Actually, just the Wormhole Weapon itself from *Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars* would be plenty interesting. You could even incorporate going over the Starburst into that video since it utilizes that energy to fire.

    This was incredible! Awesome video! Now, we would love it if you can explain "how" the time circuits can manipulate the tachyons a certain way to open the wormhole to a specific time, down to the minute/hour/day/year. Of course, the DeLorean's three-dimensional location will always remain the same wherever the temporal displacement occurs.

    LOVE this video! I also own the Doc Brown's Hayne's guide to the DeLorean Time Machine. I know this is sci-fi and all, but something that I wasn't satisfied with was this. Yeah - we can do a bit of technobabble explanation as to how the reactor works in conjunction w/ the flux bands and the capacitor, etc. etc. etc. to generate the wormhole. What I want to know is how tf the "time circuits computer" interfaces with all of that to send the DeLorean to a specified date/time group. Seems to me like that solution would be just as, if not more complex than the flux capacitor.

    • @regwellz93
      @regwellz93 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I would think that the tachyons being generated in the flux capacitor are given instructions by the time circuits about where/when the destination in space/time is and open a wormhole with that destination in mind. I’m not an engineer by any stretch of the imagination, but that’s just what I think haha

    Nice explanation, missed an opportunity to describe the field-stabilizer illumination as a de-facto Cherenkov Radiation effect in gaseous medium as tachyons transit the light speed barrier from faster than light motion into net positive motion regimes, effectively causing the massive bending of space-time via the transitory mass gain of the tachyons as they disintegrate into faster than light (in air) photons and creating a localized worm-hole, just like in a theoretically possible Albucierre drive.
