This Delorean DMC-12 replica of the Delorean used in the Back to the Future movies appeared at the 2017 MakersFaire Car Show held in downtown Kansas City Missouri at the Union Station.
The control of the time machine is the same in all three films. The operator is seated inside the DeLorean (except the first time, when a remote control is used), and turns on the time circuits, activating a unit containing multiple fourteen- and seven-segment displays that show the destination (red), present (green), and last time departed (yellow) dates and times. After entering a target date with the keypad inside the DeLorean, the operator accelerates the car to 88 miles per hour (141.6 km/h), which activates the flux capacitor. As it accelerates, several coils around the body glow blue/white while a burst of light appears in front of it. Surrounded by electrical current similar to a Tesla coil, the whole car vanishes in a flash of white/blue light seconds later, leaving a pair of fiery tire tracks. A digital speedometer is attached to the dashboard so that the operator can accurately gauge the car's speed. Various proposals have been brought forth in the past by fans of the movie franchise for why the car has to be moving at 88 mph to achieve temporal displacement, but actually the production crew chose the velocity simply because they liked how it looked on the speedometer. The actual speedometer on the DeLorean's dashboard only goes up to 85 MPH, and the car itself was criticized for being under-powered.
Observers outside the vehicle see an implosion of plasma as the vehicle disappears, leaving behind a trail of fire aligned with the DeLorean's tires, while occupants within the vehicle see a quick flash of light and instantaneously arrive at the target time in the same spatial location (relative to the Earth) as when it departed. In the destination time, immediately before the car's arrival, three large and loud flashes occur at the point from which the car emerges from its time travel. After the trip, the exterior of the DeLorean is extremely cold, and frost forms from atmospheric moisture all over the car's body. Thermal heaters on the back of the vehicle, as shown on right, heat the vehicle after time travel.

A few technical glitches with the DeLorean hinder time travel for its users. In the first film, the car has starter problems and has a hard time restarting once stopped, much to Marty's repeated frustration. In the second movie, the destination time display malfunctions and shows random dates (mostly January 1, 1885), which partially cause Doc to be sent to 1885. In the third movie, the flying circuits (added by Doc in 2015), fuel line, and fuel injection manifold are damaged, preventing the car from moving under its own power.
A back view of the DeLorean time machine
The time machine is electric and requires a power input of 1.21 gigawatts (1,620,000 hp) to operate, originally provided by a plutonium-fueled nuclear reactor. In the first movie, Doc has no access to plutonium in 1955, so he outfits the car with a large pole and hook in order to channel the power of a lightning bolt into the flux capacitor and send Marty back to 1985. During Doc's first visit to 2015, he has the machine refitted to hover above ground in addition to standard road driving, and he replaces the nuclear reactor with a Mr. Fusion generator that uses garbage as fuel.
Although the Mr. Fusion unit provides the required power for the time machine, the DeLorean is still powered by an internal combustion engine for propulsion. The fuel line is damaged during Marty's trip to 1885 in Back to the Future Part III; after he and Doc patch it, they attempt to use whiskey as a replacement fuel since commercial gasoline is not yet available. The test fails, damaging the car's fuel injection manifold and leaving it unable to travel under its own power.
Doc and Marty consider options to reach the required 88 mph (such as pulling it with horses, which fails because the car barely breaks 30 mph) but ultimately settle on pushing the car with a steam locomotive. For the extra power needed to push the DeLorean up to speed, Doc adds his own version of "Presto Logs" (a chemically treated mixture of pressed wood and anthracite) to the locomotive's boiler and chooses a location with a straight section of track long enough to achieve 88 mph.
The power required is pronounced in the film as one point twenty-one "jigowatts". While the closed-captioning in home video versions spells the word as it appears in the script, jigowatt, the actual spelling matches the standard prefix and the term for power of "one billion watts": gigawatt. Although rarely used, the "j" sound at the beginning of the SI prefix "giga-" is an acceptable pronunciation for "gigawatt." In the DVD commentary for Back to the Future, Bob Gale states that he had thought it was pronounced this way because it was how a scientific adviser for the film pronounced it

My wife really surprised me this year for Christmas with a set of Lego's that makes the DeLorean from Back to the Future. This is absolutely one of my favorite movies ever. The kit comes with all the parts for the DeLorean including the option to make it look like the version from the original movie, part II, or even part III. All three include the "flux capacitor", of course. The kit also comes with a Lego version of Emmett 'Doc' Brown and Marty McFly with his skateboard.
Me and the kids sat down at the table after having Christmas at home and put the DeLorean together in about an hour or so. Thank you Sandy for the cool gift and kids for spending the time with me to put it together...

Steam loco 76079 about to leave Whitby for Pickering on a North Yorkshire Moors Railway passenger train service -- with Mrs Brit aboard.
I spent the day alone in Whitby (with my camera of course) while Mrs Brit enjoyed a day on her own in Pickering.
So, we each had a perfect day!

The amazing roof of the octagonal York Minster Chapter House. The roof is supported by a complex series of beams above it as can be seen here:

A three photo "panorama" taken with the Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5 L II.
My tripod was set at it's lowest position right in the center of the room, and pointed at the roof. The shift axis was set along the short edge of the frame, and the photos were taken at no shift and maximum shift in each direction.
Note: This is not "HDR", all three photos were taken at the exact same settings for constant exposure.
This was a custom order from a long-time customer. It is Marty McFly and Doc Brown from Back to the Future. They are in their outfit from the scene when the lightning hits the clock tower sending Marty back home. Enjoy!
This one is done as well. Unfortunately I couldn't get it autographed because Christopher Lloyd had to cancel due to a filming commitment.
Bummer......
An outdoor shot I've been meaning to do for a while using the official LEGO Back to the Future set and some Civil War minifigures. The Union solders are mainly made from the Cavalry soldiers in the Lone Ranger sets, slightly adjusted for historical accuracy. The Confederates are photographed advancing from the rear, as their torsos are just miscellaneous dark bodies -- as there aren't any official LEGO torsos that have grey military uniforms. The kepis, however, fortunately are available in both blue and grey. I wanted to have more Union solders advancing, but unfortunately those Cavalry torsos were kind of expensive. I shot this photo on a hill along a staircase in a small park in Great Neck, NY.
Someone told me this puppy knows how to pose for the camera. I guess he was feeling a little silly today...
In celebration of future day I teamed up with The Hill Valley Preservation society to shoot a series of Back to the Future images. The HVPS are a charity organisation who attend events to showcase their BTTF prop collection to raise money for the fight against parkinsons disease.
The famous pair of shoes that were featured in the movie Back To The Future are up for auction at NikeTown Las Vegas
...and her hover board. (look closely).
you think she's ready to go boogey boarding..."back, to the future?" ^ ^
waikiki beach.
honolulu, oahu, hawaii.
easier to see her "antigravity" hover board when viewed larger.
btw, I only used PS to crop and tweak levels a bit. No photoshopping of that board.
“Oh wow Rick, the Time Machine from the movie!”
“No Morty! This, this is ingenious! Thats not a time machine, it’s a LEGO kit. A LEGO kit that WASTES time! Now grab the wheel Morty, grandpa’s had too much to drink.”
What an excellent, satisfying build!
The action features work excellently, the details are on point and all three display options look great.
Awesome addition to the upscale cars. May have to do another shoot with this thing before it gets settled into a permanent display.

The Gamble House, built by architects Greene and Greene in 1908, is considered one of the most architecturally significant historic homes in America--but it gained movie immortality as the residence of Doc Brown in “Back To The Future.”
Doc's Barn in the Movie "Back to the Future 3" was made with LEGO!
The building instruction is in Rebrickable.
Doc's lab in 1885 was built on two 32x32 baseplates. The front area includes the famous ice cube maker and train model. The rear area is his living quarter. The garage in front of the ice cube maker is compatible with "LEGO 21103 The DeLorean Time Machine" (not included in the instruction or part list).
Hope you like this minifig-scale build!
"I apologize the crudity of this model."
