The main electronic component used for time travel in vehicles. Conceived by Dr. Emmitt Brown in 1955, and later developed and successfully tested in 1985.

Get the flux capacitor mug.Related Words
a electrical capacitor capable of storing the 1.21 gWe generated by a nuclear reaction, or lightning bolt. Unique due to its size, as conventional capacitors that can handle such energy would take up the space of a small apartment complex. The device has nothing to directly with time travel, merely allowing the 1.21 gWe to be used all at once, and in phase.

Get the flux capacitor mug.Using lots of technical sounding jargon to make something sound more important or complicated than it really is. When in reality it makes no sense what so ever. But, IT SOUNS COOL!
"The collector and the timed switching device are incorporated in the nature of the bee-bees in brine. In conjunction with a magnetic field and the load, the flux capacitor uses the hierarchical structure of the cosmos as a timer! The trilamination of the tiny spheres with selected metals and their subjection to a magnetic field and current (sustained by the load) destabilizes the orderliness of the proton, the heavier atom and the "tissue" of individual layers of metal. The matter then seeks to re-establish itself in the fractal set." Flux Capacitor Speak

Get the Flux Capacitor Speak mug.A fictional device from the movie Back to the Future that allows travel through time. It can also be used as a scapegoat for computer problems when people ask dumb questions.
Some guy called me to ask me why his computer wasn't working during a power outage, so I told him his flux capacitor was broken.

Get the flux capacitor mug.A 3-pronged device which, when properly combined with 1.21 jigawatts of electricity, grants access to the fourth dimension. (The ability to travel through time.)
Just tape the flux capacitor to a car, a toaster, or any other mechanical item you can think of, and you can travel through time with it!
