The story of the flux capacitor, immigration

| August 21, 2010 9:00 PM

For the purpose of entertaining Randy Thompson: How I invented the flux capacitor and used it to solve the immigration problem.

In Biology 100 my teacher told the class that surface area was a common answer to biology questions he explained that everything needs a place to happen. In electronics I learned about capacitors and I knew the answer instantly. How do you make a capacitor that can store more energy? Surface area! I used a simple calculus equation to find out how I could get the maximum surface area. Limit as s approaches infinity. I came up with a ball of carbon nano tubes separated by an insulator.

Next I decided to work on producing a low cost energy source. I looked to my world religions class for inspiration. At first I tried to understand the vedic engine, I figured it used mercury because it was one of the first elements discovered and it expands when exposed to heat, so it could somehow be used to harness the power of temperature difference.

I couldn’t figure out how to get the valve to work so I scraped that idea and came up with a much simpler one. I noticed that the yin-yang symbol was actually a generator. The black side absorbs heat and the white side reflects heat creating temperature difference and producing wind energy. I wrote some software to find out what substance would absorb the most heat and what substance absorbed the least heat. I used that program to come up the special flux material which can be turned instantly from an insulator to conductor allowing my flux capacitor to release its energy faster than other capacitors.

The flux capacitor is not only “the thing that makes time travel possible” but also it makes space travel much faster. Now illegal immigrants can be transported to any planet they chose with unlimited energy for a reasonable price. Problem solved, for now, manifest destiny all over again.

Some of us have a hard time tolerating each other and need our own planet to live on.
