So I Googled it, the ones sold here are $NZ 200 000 and need a small nuclear reactor to make them work. Google Jaycar electronics to see a description.

Emit Brown...1.21 gigawatts...

Good for O'Reilly's for having a sense of humor...and for recognizing a much loved movie.

While the subject line date of November 12, 1955 is close, I would argue it should be February 19, 1955. The reason being that the the whole "flux capacitor" term has it origins in the much-publicized crash of TWA Flight 260 that crashed into the Sandia Mountains east of Albuquerque on November 19, 1955. The cause was ultimately attributed to a faulty "fluxgate compass" (after much controversy and numerous investigation revisions by the CAB).
I hiked to the sight of the crash a few years ago. It's about 9,000 feet up in a canyon where the remains fell following the impact with a sheer face of rock. The only thing puzzling to me was the presence of 3 engines when the Martin 4-0-4 is a 2 engine bird. More than you wanted to know I'm sure. But all in the interest of cinematic trivia.

So......I get one of these, and a DeLorean, and a few hours of wrench work in the garage......can I go back to 1969 and find my lost youth?

k. The only thing puzzling to me was the presence of 3 engines when the Martin 4-0-4 is a 2 engine bird.

That's a noteworthy detail.

Why would anyone want to find their lost youth?
