BACK TO THE FUTURE
Flux Capacitor
Doc Brown's device that makes time travel possible: November 5, 1955. That was the day I invented time travel. I remember it vividly. I was standing on my toilet hanging a clock. The porcelain was wet. I slipped, hit my head on the sink. When I came to, I had a revelation. A vision. A picture in my head. A picture of this. This is what makes time travel possible. The flux capacitor. It's taken almost 30 years and my family fortune to realize the vision of that day.

Doc mentions in his letter to Marty: You saw the DeLorean struck by lightning. First, let me assure you that I'm alive and well. I've been living happily these past eight months in the year 1885. The lightning bolt that hit the DeLorean caused a gigawatt overload which scrambled the time circuits, activated the Flux Capacitor, and sent me back to 1885.
