The flux capacitor, which consists of a rectangular-shaped compartment with three flashing Geissler-style tubes arranged in a "Y" configuration, is described by Doc as "what makes time travel possible". However, Marty and 1955 Doc learn that just nine months after arriving in 1885, Doc will be murdered by Biff's great grandfather, Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen, on September 7, 1885. At the end of the first film, and for the remainder of the trilogy, the plutonium nuclear reactor is replaced by a "Mr.

An electrical effect enveloping the car was abandoned because a similar process had been used in the science fiction film The Terminator (1984). After they stop the fire that would've burned down Hill Valley, they chase down Edna, who is trying to get away in the alternate Clone DeLorean.As of November 2021, approximately 122 DeLoreans are known to be converted to Back to the Future Time Machines. gigawatts are supplied by a plutonium-powered nuclear fission reactor and, with the absence of plutonium, a bolt of lightning channeled directly into the flux capacitor by a long pole and hook in the film's climactic sequence. It is seen in a video promoting the film, though it is not specified whether it houses a flux capacitor.

The actual speedometer on the production DeLorean's dashboard only goes up to 85mph, and the car itself was criticized for being underpowered. Fox and Lloyd were filmed against a reflective mylar blue screen set to match the car park's wet surface and composited into the trails of fire. The 86 sticker also bears the California state abbreviation CA and the identification number N 52654.Liquid nitrogen was poured onto the car for scenes after it had traveled through time to give the impression that it was cold. Following its completion and its first time travel test, Doc and his family traveled to 2015 and beyond to give it a hover conversion, allowing it to fly just like the DeLorean. h) was chosen as the time travel speed because it was easy to remember and looked "cool" on the speedometer. Both the DeLorean's time circuits and flying capability are disabled in the process, though not the internal combustion engine. Doc and Marty consider options to reach the required 88mph (such as pulling it with horses, which fails because the car barely breaks 30mph) and ultimately settle on pushing the car with a steam locomotive.

In each case, the plate landed upright, on one of its corners, and spun around for a while after falling off. Paull and Canton, who had worked with him on Blade Runner (1982) and Buckaroo Banzai (1984), respectively, recruited him.Interestingly, before the Time Train appeared in 1985, it triggered the bells and gates on the nearby railroad crossing as if another train was coming. A similar flux capacitor is also seen in the chimney headlamp of Doc's second time machine, the Time Machine Locomotive, at the end of Back to the Future Part III.
