There we go, you have your completed time machine.

Enjoy responsibly, and don't go killing your ancestors. (unless you happen to have built in a parrelex distorter)

Please let me know what you think, and i would love to see any adaptations you make yourselves.

Thanks for reading.

I have only four questions.
1) where do you get all those things are they from like home depot, or what.
2) how does it work, i mean you kinda just threw a bunch of random stuff in it and said tada
3) how much does all the supplies cost. Im young, so i dont have a job or alot of money but i would really like to make one.
4) DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK?!?!

I had hopes for this thing.

:( how does it work...:(????????
Oct 17, 2011. 10:44 PMSockKreature says:
It works by distorting the time realm in half and forcing a gateway through to the past. It then merges the two dimensions until the two parts, you and the watch, are successfully transported.

Geez, I'd love to see it in actiopn. PLEASE tell me you are not bluffing! There have been two dreams I've had; time traveling and touching the cosmos.

It only describes going into The Past , Does It work for going into The future ??
Jun 13, 2009. 11:12 AMSpacemonster says:
Dude, if that really really works ill mail you 50$
Jun 25, 2009. 5:18 PMtevers94 says:
lol, only 50$ for a time machine. I'd pay 55$
Sep 20, 2009. 10:04 AMReCreate says:
And send it with the lowest priority shipping, remember, it is a time machine. If it comes in a month you can go back in time to repay that time of waiting ;)
Oct 17, 2011. 10:47 PMSockKreature says:
But if you went back in time then you wouldn't have been able to get the time machine to go back into therefore you would cause a black hole O.O

That's why i prefer the time and relative dimension in space, handles the paradoxes just fine and dandy. Just don't go out and kill your grandfather.
Oct 18, 2011. 4:20 PMSockKreature says:
Ahhhh yes that would work great! I'll be sure to try that soon!
Jun 27, 2009. 5:51 AMSpacemonster says:
Uh, ?!$&@! Sorry just kidding! PS please put a video on showing it in use
Oct 18, 2011. 4:19 PMSockKreature says:
Its impossible to video a time machine in use.

Well if this really works how can we get back into the present time? And how to set the time we get back into?
May 16, 2011. 12:41 PMSockKreature says:
On mine I installed a little LCD screen complete with a two button keypad where you input the time you would like to go. Works fine and the time machine works perfectly!
Aug 29, 2011. 3:08 AMcjenlaire says:
wow~!!!!! fantastic..... pls make a video how you do it....
Oct 17, 2011. 10:46 PMSockKreature says:

Oct 17, 2011. 10:43 PMSockKreature says:
I would be glad to! :D How can I help?
Dec 9, 2010. 8:36 PMkaynien15 says:
This is bull, I was only able to back to the time I finished making it. I just want to go back 24 hours, that's all. How can I do this?
May 16, 2011. 12:38 PMSockKreature says:
Haha! Thats what happened to me when i made it to. I was so bummed but i realized how do fix this problem! Under the glass lens place a time space continuum crystalized portal apparatus specifically cut to to circular size of the lens on yours. Then solder a wire on the middle of the crystal and drill a hole on the middles of the lens. Run the wire through the hole and seal the lens back on and solder the other end of the wire to the metal rim around the lens. Seal it up and turn it on and you should be good to go! Works great for me!

Note: The crystal that is in mine was surprisingly powerful enough to go back a full 72 hours! Good luck.

Does that really work!?
Sep 24, 2011. 5:19 PMejwhite25 says:
Where do you get a a time space continuum crystalized portal apparatus
Oct 2, 2011. 9:38 AMSockKreature says:
Would you like me to post a picture of the crystal as a reference?

Oct 3, 2011. 4:12 PMejwhite25 says:
Yes i would
Oct 5, 2011. 10:44 PMSockKreature says:
Here is a photo of the crystal. This crystal is dead, however, a live crystal looks the same but with a slight "glow". The crystal is also covered in a metallic glitter type substance, which makes it a little easier to find. they usually come small so look VERY CAREFULLY, the one in the photo is the biggest I've ever found.
hope this helped,
William
Mar 24, 2012. 7:34 AMDeceptibotX says:
Where do you find it?
Sep 25, 2011. 11:47 PMSockKreature says:
Most of the time you can get it at your local Spirit shop or village. If you don't have one then you're going to have to find one... I found mine at the heart of a forest near a stream. Make sure when you are looking for it though, that you aren't hoping to find it. Just explore the area. You'll get the hang of it. Hope this helped!
