"What is that thing anyway?"

"Don't worry about it, you just get in and.....!"

Dr. Ice in the newly completed time machine

Half-silvered mirror film lets you see your own reflection inside

Repeating reflections place you in a large drum

The machine in different color environments

RED was our favorite

One-way mirror film on the doors

As the dome comes down, the machine gets its first sunlight

At night, the time traveler sees only his reflections, everyone else can see in

Strobes enhance the mesmeric effects

Design evolution: this base would have taken too long to build

Design evolution: that's about it, but these doors were too expensive

Design evolution: that's it, with door latches and braces

Inside view (did you know you were Mr. Rogers in a past life?!)

It took a lot of drawings...

1. The world rotates. As it does so - Time is created through this motion in the still void.

2. People exist, move with the world, and pass through time.

3. Time is linear through every possible point, every permutation.

4. Short-term memory is an eddy in the temporal flow of the world passing through the void. Our consciousness exists in the space of this eddy, yet the past is visible to us and the future is not. Eddies exist - People-Moments - in all places on the surface of this intersection.

5. We create a machine in the space of one eddy. The machine shortens the space between one eddy and the next. As each People-Moment overlaps, it becomes visible.

6. Since seeing all moments (everything possible, all eddies) is the same as seeing none, Time Travelers must interact with the machine through a filter. This filter is combination of Guide (hypnotist) and Tool (reflections) acting in concert. The Mesmer. (this is an older design, but the pricipal is the same: One focuses on their sequential reflections as the hypnotist leads them through induction, "I am counting back from 10, 10, 9...." etc.)
