The Time Machine
How does the Time Machine work in Back to the Future ? What did Doc Brown fit to the DeLorean to allow it to Time Travel ? ….. Here we explain the science behind this amazing Stainless Steel Sports car the DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future
How does Doc Browns DeLorean work ? and what equipment did he install ?
It’s very difficult to summarise exactly how all the systems work together / in conjunction with each other. And how individual components work without a extremely long description,
so we have broken this up into 3 sections.
Section 1 list of the components - Section 2 Pictorial overview - Section 3 Long list view.… Warning this subject is Heavy !
