It is pretty wired that Philipp just told me right before i uploaded these that today is Delorean´s deathday:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_DeLorean
Well i paid some justice to one of the most beloved cars of movie history i hope.
The chassis is spraypainted metalic silver.
The scale is 1:15.
The beat from the video is by MAXIMUM BEATS:
Thanks Max !
"If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit."
Doraemon has been an integral part of my childhood, and I believe many of you share the same experience too!
Please support and spread the word about this project and let us embark on a great adventure with Doraemon again!
The set is filled with accurate details such as Nobita's desk, Tatami mats, bookshelves filled with books and toys, and Doraemon's sleeping area in the closet.
The set also includes iconic gadgets like the Anywhere Door, the Time Machine, and will feature 4 minifigures: Doraemon, Nobita Nobi, their creators Hiroshi Fujimoto San and Motoo Abiko San.
So let's us slide down the drawer onto the time machine and off to another unforgettable adventure!
We spent another magnificent afternoon at Pataphysical Studios this Saturday, making art together … and playing at the edges of time.
Our visitors this week were Jim Neidhardt (now Dr. Neidhardt) and his lovely wife Denise (Dr. Now?), longtime friends of Drs. Rindbrain, Skidz and the Queen of the Desert. Jim showed us the ‘hypno-disks’ he is working on to create experiences like this surreal Duchamp film, Anemic Cinema: youtu.be/AsnhBUp7xxM?t=24s
We had a great conversation and I knew they were like-minded folks when Dr. Neidhardt and I both exclaimed at the same time the same exact phrase: “Life IS Change!”. Jim is interested in contributing to our madcap art adventure, so stay tuned. Learn more about his work at: neidhardtstudio.com/
Throughout the day, we brainstormed more ideas for our new Time Machine, while working on sundry maker art projects:
• Dr. Rindbrain and Canard put the finishing touches on their music box
• Drs. Figurine and Heatshrink prepared to assemble a theremin together
• Dr. Fabio drew a first sketch of what a time controller might look like
• Dr. Igor and Heatshrink both gave Dr. Figurine nice gifts for her birthday
• Dr. Tout de Suite considered lighting up her goggles, chose to paint instead
• Dr. Zboon discussed time travel and made a birthday card for his friend Ernesto
• Dr. Canard created a colorful zen map, inviting other doctors to art it up
• Dr. Rindbrain added more rainbow-colored lights to the Time Machine framework
It was great to stretch out to the edges of time and back again in the company of my friends.
Fire in the hole!

DeLoreans are rear-engined cars, with luggage space in the front. The mechanism for lowering the wheels and the hinges for the cover mean that there isn't much luggage space in the model, though.

«Me afligió pensar cuán breve había sido el sueño de la inteligencia humana. Habíase suicidado. Se había puesto con firmeza en busca de la comodidad y el bienestar de una sociedad equilibrada con seguridad y estabilidad, como lema; había realizado sus esperanzas, para llegar a esto al final. Alguna vez, la vida y la prosperidad debieron alcanzar una casi absoluta seguridad. Al rico le habían garantizado su riqueza y su bienestar, al trabajador su vida y su trabajo. Sin duda en aquel mundo perfecto no había existido ningún problema de desempleo, ninguna cuestión social dejada sin resolver.»

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

When you enter Franks Diner it's like stepping back in time. Franks Diner has been open for business in Spokane since 1931. Also known as car No. 1787 when it served as a presidential car until it was retired in 1931. Then purchased in 1931 by Franks Knight, the brother and sometime partner of jack Knight of Spokane, bought the presidential car and converted it into a diner car in 1931. Neat place to check out and grab a bite to eat while your in Spokane.

So i've noticed that the Time machine has been in a lot of history and sometimes more than one at a time
A fearless crew of ‘pataphysical doctors went on an art expedition to Treasure Island, looking for hidden gems and inspiration. This call to adventure came from Drs. Canard and Figurine, and we were joined by Drs. Heatshrink, Really and Truly.
We started by scouring this quaint flea market, where we found many worthy artifacts for our Time Machine and other art projects. We then headed over to Building 180, where some of Burning Man’s most treasured artworks were created. There, we met with artist Peter Hudson, who showed us Eternal Return, his latest stroboscopic zoetrope, which is an amazing work of art and science.
We also got a chance to view some other legendary artworks in this building, before it closes down at the end of the month, including Marco Cochrane’s original models for Bliss Dance and his large-scale steel sculptures of nude women.
It was an inspiring visit, and I enjoyed visiting this mecca of Burning Man art -- and meeting Peter, whom I had heard so much about. And it was great fun to go on this little expedition with my maker friends, to collect art debris and inspiration for our next creations!

Our Maker Art class created a Time Machine this year, inviting you to travel through time from the age of dinosaurs to the 50th century.
Our 4th and 5th graders at the Lycée Français designed their own scenes from the past, present or future, and brought them to life with motion, lights and sounds. They also worked in teams to build interactive features like illuminated keypads, spinners and doors, using the popular Arduino platform.
In our after-school classes, we combine art, technology and storytelling to help children create their own magical worlds. They learn to design their ideas, build them with a variety of tools, animate them with electronics and tell their stories. This unique multimedia course helps them develop their creativity, collaboration and problem-solving skills -- and builds their confidence that they can help change the world.
This year, we had a really good group of 9 students, ages 8 to 11 -- many of whom had taken our Maker Art classes before. They were very creative and engaged, and did a great job presenting their work at the Lycée Français -- and at Marinovators at the College of Marin on April 22.
This Maker Art class was taught by Fabrice Florin and Edward Janne at the Lycée Français in Sausalito in winter 2017. We met every week for 12 workshops of 90 minutes each, Thursdays at 3:30pm, from January 5 to March 30, 2017. Our teachers are part of the Tam Makers learning community and we prepared materials for this project in our state-of-the-art makerspace at the nearby Tam High School.

The good doctors at Pataphysical Studios have started work on their next madcap invention: the Time Machine.
On a sunny Saturday afternoon, we assembled the wood frame of the time machine, which Drs. Rindbrain and Figurine had built earlier at the Tam High woodshop. All the pieces fell in place nicely in the art greenhouse, and the structure was up within an hour. This pentagon can now fit up to a dozen pataphysicians (albeit squished together like sardines), as demonstrated in our group portrait. Next week, we will add the walls and paper them up, to start sketching our first ideas for this interactive art exhibit.
In other news:
• Dr. Figurine brought a giant fish head she had created years ago and gave it a new life with a fresh coat of paint.
• Dr. Heatshrink and Igor discussed plans for the time machine controller (kudos to Drs. Really and Truly for giving him a ride so he could join us while his ankle is still broken).
• Dr. Truly painted a lovely pair of boots and gave another of her beautiful medals to Dr. Zboon.
• Dr. Phylora joined the art hive, kissed the fish head and sorted beads for Violet’s float
• Drs. Canard, Fabio and Igor hacked an old clock whose needles will spin unpredictably when you press a button in the time machine.
• Dr. Tout d’Suite created more ‘pataphysical talismans
• Dr. Rindbrain played his flute, tended to the art hive, and started painting another pair of shoes
• Dr. Canard leaped into the air to show her aikido rolls and prepared another mobile
• Dr. Zboon storyboarded and pitched a new twist for Violet’s Journey, to bring more life into our fairy tale for Dr. Canard’s animatronic ducks
• Dr. Really created a poster for our upcoming exhibit of the slot machine at the Dada World Fair
• Dr. Fabio prepared an oval float for Violet and the animatronic ducks, to cover their robot parts
The mojo flowed freely in the art garden. Fire in the hole!

I think that there's not a half-bad scale model of a regular DeLorean lurking underneath the greebling, but the BttF version is so much cooler.

The Tower of the Winds is an octagonal Pentelic marble clocktower on the agora in Athens that has functioned as a horologion or "timepiece". In the background you see the Acropolis Hill. The Tower has a combination of sundials, a water clock, and a wind vane. It was built by around 50 BC, but according to other sources, might have been constructed in the 2nd century BC before the rest of the forum.
First sketches and models for the Time Machine, a new interactive art project created by Pataphysical Studios.
In this brainstorm session, each team member sketched out their own ideas, then discussed them with the group, to design our upcoming time travel experience together.
Next, we plan to create a composite design with some of these ideas, to integrate them into a single blueprint.
To be continued ...

I still remember the day I went to see the movie in the cinema back in the days! I can say with confidence that it is one of favourite movies of my life ever since I saw it first! It was the golden age of this world as well as my life's. I really want to go back in time...
Manufacturer's Note: Playmobil goes back to the future! The iconic DeLorean features folding wheels for hover mode, doors which open upwards, an illuminated flux capacitor inside and illuminated exterior. Also included is plutonium, which can be inserted at the back of the vehicle. The playset is complete with Marty Mcfly and Doc Brown in their outfits from 1985. Includes a plutonium case, skateboard, Delorean, remote control and Einstein, the dog. Set includes; Figures: 1 Marty McFly, 1 Doc Brown Animals: 1 Einstein (dog) Accessories: 1 skateboard, 1 camera, 1 remote control, 1 walkie talkie, 1 case, 3 plutonium rods, 1 pantograph. Ages 4yrs+
The wheels on the model are hinged to fold down. The mechanism is fairly straightforward, but it wasn't easy to figure out. Using a single hingeline would mean that the wheels wouldn't stick out of the sides as much as they should and would hang far to low.
Using these wheels arch pieces complicates giving a model steering, because they don't leave enough room. I typically use a little SNOT building to get it sorted, as on my K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider. With the fold-down wheels, steering was out of the question, though.
