"The flux capacitor requires 1.21 gigawatts of electricity to operate, which would be nonsensical in real life as a gigawatt is a measure of the rate energy is transferred (the appropriate unit would be a gigajoule). Throughout the series, "gigawatt" is pronounced "jigowatt". "

(P.S. There used to be a separate wikipedia entry under 'flux capacitor' ... but it now redirects to this De Lorean Time Machine page. Anyone know what happened?)

It takes one dedicated wind generator (about 15 KW) for the flux capacitor to send a body back and forth 100 years into the past or future, however, "when the wind isn't blowing, you ain't going."

I believe that it is 1.21 gigawatts if my memory serves me correct, my good man.
