How does the flux capacitor in Back to the Future work?

Answer 1

It runs off of Plutonium acquired from the Lybians and is injected into the flux core at a rate of 1mL per second of time travel required. Using the famous Cole equation, you can determine to an accuracy of 1 second how far in time you want to go back.

Answer 2

It uses past events/data/records to measure out different stuff (frequency, enviornment, states) to recreate what should happen in the future, except aproximately 2200 times stronger, plus a controlled konstant, then it capacitates that so that all that energy doesn't blow up the car. The result of the difference in energy creates relativistic circumstances to allow the world around the car to slow down, making anyone inside the car speed up in time, making them go into the future once the car reaches 85 mph of course. The way the car goes farther into the future, is by increasing the konstant i said earlier. All the uranium and plutonium makes all the energy to power the car. There is more power needed to go to the past, so there is a limit on how far you can go into the future, but not the past.

Answer 3

It doesn't, it's fictional. It's a nice-sounding combination of words. But it would imply the existence of a magnetic charge. As far as we can tell, there is no such thing. Even if there were, there's no obvious way to exploit it for time travel. Just remember it's fiction and enjoy the movie.

Answer 4

You sit there and frown at it for a day, and ta-da you're 24 hours into the future!

Answer 5

You didn't say if you mean the original design, or the enhanced "Mr Fusion" model. They work on quite different principles.

Answer 6

fictionally
