Remember that time you were accidentally caught picking your nose at the SuperBowl and the cameraman happened to catch it and throw it up on the JumboTron? Well, now you can take that horrible moment back, along with all the other thousands of horrible moments in your life via Time Travel!
Instructables.com has created a tutorial on how to build your very own Flux Capacitor for about 55 bucks. Of course, this one won’t actually WORK, but hey, neither did the original (sorry if that was news to you). All you need is a Fuse box, some window molding, and some LED icicle lights.
Fans of the Back to the Future franchise will instantly recognize the Flux Capacitor as the most important element in a Time Traveling car (aside from an aluminum chassis, of course). Well, now you can make your own, on the cheap, leaving you plenty of money left over to buy a Delorean.
Thanks to faithful Son of Macenstein reader Michael Murphey for the tip!
