DIY Flux Capacitor

Step 1 Parts & tools

Most of the parts are pretty easy to come by, either on the net or from a local surplus store. Links are provided where I can.

You will need the following bits:
- Fuse box, about 11 x 14" -$17 @ Menards

For the window you'll either need to get a case mod window kit or:

- acrylic panel 9 x 7" - $5 @ Menards
- window molding 4' - $2.5 a foot

- LED icicle lights (white or blue) - $7 alt link

- metal cylinders x 3 - about 2 inches in diameter and 1 inch high. Small DC motors roughly that size are pretty easy to find, I used three interesting looking geared motors that have some nice detail on them. - $7.5
- translucent acrylic tubes x 3. I used some weird lab spigots I found at a surplus store - $2
- tube elbows x 3 - Say "tube elbows" out loud. pretty much anything that looks right will do here. I went through the hardware store and looked for the closest thing. - $3
- about 2 feet of yellow wire. I found some fiber optic cable the perfect diameter and color - $.75
- wiring connector block - $1
- piece of black cardboard or sheetmetal 11 x 14"

Tools
- jigsaw and metal blade
- file
- drill
- dremel
