-Poppycock.
-Why?
:08:05
Electric light, courtesy of Edison,
a modern Prometheus.
:08:10
Good heavens.You were really serious.
:08:16
I don't believe it.You've actually
built the bloody thing.
:08:21
-Free love paid for most of it.
-I've no doubt.
:08:24
I didn't think practical jokes
was in your line.
:08:27
Twelve years ago, an engineer used
the sun to power a printing press.
:08:32
My time machine
uses the same power source.
:08:36
-You can't be serious.
-This thing is propelled by sunshine?
:08:40
This cup catches
the rays of the sun...
:08:43
...converting its heat
to electricity here.
:08:47
Electricity does the rest.Juxtaposing
fields of energy creating friction.
:08:52
The result is an ever-increasing
series of reactions...
:08:56
...that literally rotates the machine
out of one time sphere into another.
:09:02
Cruising speed is two years per
minute.Go into the past or future.
:09:07
Two years per minute?
:09:08
Acceleration keeps the machine and
occupant outside all time spheres...
:09:13
-...conscious, but vaporized.
-How do you determine direction?
:09:18
West, you gain yesterdays.
East, you accumulate tomorrows.
:09:22
Balderdash!
Go north, you get to Glasgow.
:09:25
The machine is designed
with several safety features.
:09:29
The reversal rotation lock returns
the machine to its starting date...
:09:33
...after the completion of a voyage.
:09:36
If the occupant is injured
during a flight...
:09:39
...the passenger is returned
to the point of departure.
:09:43
Unless he uses this key
to countermand the device.
:09:49
Without that key,
it's a bloody homing pigeon.
:09:52
And what, may I ask, is this?
:09:58
Well, John...
