    The "flux capacitor", which consists of a regularly squared compartment with three small, flashing neon tubes arranged as a "Y", is described by Doctor Brown as "what makes time travel possible". The device is located between the headrests of the seats and, as the time machine nears 88 mph (141 km/h), light coming from the flux capacitor pulses faster until it becomes a steady stream of light. As the film continues the Doctor originally conceived the idea for the flux capacitor on November 5, 1955 when he slipped and hit his head on the sink while standing on the toilet to hang a clock. :eek:
