flux_capacitor
is the fictional core component of Dr. Brown's time_traveling De_Lorean in the popular 1985 movie ''Back_to_the_Future'' and its two sequels. The flux capacitor is what makes time travel possible. It is not made clear in the movie exactly how the flux capacitor works. It requires 1.21 gigawatts of electricity, supplied during its first two trips (one minute forward in time, and thirty years backward) by a plutonium powered nuclear reactor, during its next two trips (thirty years forward in time, and thirty years into the future) by a bolt of lightning, and thereafter by a "Mr. Fusion" home energy generator from the future which was fueled by garbage. The flux capacitor is activated the moment the time travelling vehicle reaches 88 miles per hour.
