Disregard the technobable on the second one...
1100 pixels is too damn big ein. So is 850. Use a link if it won't fit on a 800x600 display...

Sorry Beowulf. I didn't know it was gonna be that big when I saw it on that site, then I couldn't get around to fixing it. Real Life can be so annoying at times.
BTW I love the mod color Congratz on getting the modship ~E. Sn0 -+31337+-

I KNOW it's from there, the thing is they're trying to pass it off as a time machine, which is obviously just a hoax.

The fact that the "time traveler" claimed that 3 billion people died in a nuclear exchange should have been enough to tip off anyone that it was a hoax. Sea Skimmer can correct me if I'm wrong, but the world's combined nuclear arsenal couldn't kill three billion people (and if it did, they sure wouldn't have enough inustrial infrastructure remaining to build time machines 20 years later).

Correct, there isn't a realistic scenario in which nukes could kill three billion. (Unrealistically if everyone on earth gathered together and stood in the open in one massive six billion person mass it wouldn't be that hard to do)RedImperator wrote:The fact that the "time traveler" claimed that 3 billion people died in a nuclear exchange should have been enough to tip off anyone that it was a hoax.

Can you say photoshop? I really hope no one been stupid enough to fall for this.Description purportedly from John.
This is a picture taken in the fall of 2035 during my training. It shows my instructor beaming a handheld laser outside the vehicle during operation. The beam is being bent by the gravitational field produced outside the vehicle by the distortion unit. The beam is visible through smoke that is coming from his cigar.

Admittedly, it was an entertaining hoax, if not a good one (he made mistakes that anyone with more than a passing knowledge of certain fields would spot--I'm sure science/engineering types would poke all kinds of holes in his technobabble). He stuck to character and managed to act like a guy from the future.
Even if you have no technical knowledge, though, it should have been clear from his description of the future that he was pushing a contemporary agenda (an odd combination of social conservatism and New Age anti-commercialism and pseudoscience).

Here is a real photo of it. He has a bunch more --> http://johntitor.strategicbrains.com/TimeMachine.cfm. so the thing physically exists at least.

It looks like part of a radio set
I am a Electronics Engineering Major. I see in this deviceFrank Hipper wrote:It's a cyclotron, or a design for one.....
a tuned tranformer
A FM transceaver
several catolytic capaciters
3 high power RF Transisters
It looks like a 3 stage amplifier with a high gain antenna.
This looks like a heavilly EMP sheilded radio set to me!

heh, I've spent a lot of time in a lot of studios, and that ain't like nothing I've ever seen, not even by a long shot.Frank Hipper wrote:It's a piece of sound studio equipment.
I agree with Isolder74, that if it's something real at all, it's probably some type of radio amplifier, maybe a portable military radio station?

Yes did you note the cord with the CB style handset. It looks like a small vehicle radio I have seen in a Hum-Vee before. The thing is hardly top secret. in the labled drawing two of the Sheilded caps are labled as singularity generators or what ever. on the outside it appears to have a power and channel set knobs.Einhander Sn0m4n wrote:So basically you guys are saying it's a radio? Nice radio!

You're right. I was wrong in guessing cyclotron. My first guess was sound equipment, my mistake was not going with it.kojikun wrote:Whats it do?

Check that model number on the top of the paper, odds are that if he has the blue prints he didn't write them and might have taken them and renamed it.Isolder74 wrote:Yes did you note the cord with the CB style handset.

The model number Ge / C204 Seems legit.
the "Restricted File: TMIM-2005/4005" is in a different font then the font for the model number. Both schematics are definattly doctored
