The lightning created an overload and caused a malfunction in the time circuits, sending the vehicle back to January 1, 1885. The DeLorean was again struck by lightning in the year 1955, this time by accident. When they returned in 1985, they found it was a nightmarish alternate present, so they traveled back to 1955 to fix the space-time continuum. The DeLorean once again came back to 1985 and proceeded to travel to 2015, where it was stolen by Biff Tannen, taken back to 1955 and returned to 2015 without Doc's knowledge.
#Flux capacitor generator
Fusion home energy generator from the future that was fueled by extracting hydrogen atoms from garbage. Plutonium was used once again for a trip forward in time at least 30 years, and at some point thereafter the plutonium reactor was replaced by a Mr. However, for the time machine's return trip (from 1955 back to 1985), plutonium was not available, so a lightning rod was connected directly into the flux capacitor and was used while the vehicle sustained 88 m.p.h. In order to travel through time, the vehicle integrated with the flux capacitor needed to be traveling at 88 mph (140.8 km/h), and required 1.21 gigawatts of power (1,210,000,000 watts), originally supplied by a plutonium-powered nuclear reactor.

The flux capacitor can be seen lit up behind Einstein just before temporal displacement. These play a key part to open a hole in the time barrier. The coils that can be seen across the front and along the rear sides can be referenced as the temporal demodulation coils (as used in the original blueprints of the vehicle). Accessing the flux capacitor safely required disconnection of the capacitor drive, as the Dymo warning label at the top of the unit - DISCONNECT CAPACITOR DRIVE BEFORE OPENING - pointed out. The stainless steel body of the DeLorean also had a beneficial effect on the "flux dispersal" as the capacitor activated, although Doc was interrupted by the arrival of the Libyans before he could finish explaining it to Marty McFly fully. As the car neared 88 miles per hour, the light of the flux capacitor pulsed faster until it had a steady stream of light, which one was not supposed to look at as indicated by the Dymo warning label SHIELD EYES FROM LIGHT placed across the glass panel. The flux capacitor consisted of a box with three small, flashing incandescent lamps arranged as a "Y", located above and behind the passenger seat of the time machine. Non-canon or disputable information ends here. Doc stated that the flux capacitor "is what makes time travel possible." Emmett Brown's time traveling DeLorean time machine and the following Jules Verne Train. The flux capacitor was the core component of Dr. As a matter of fact, he found it charmingly refreshing." -From Back to the Future by George Gipe (quote, page 55) Any brilliant scientist would have arrived at approximately the same title if given the chance." / Marty chuckled inwardly at the man's humility. "Is that its real name or something you made up?" / "It's a logical title applied by me when I decided to describe its function in one or two words. "This is what makes time travel possible - the flux capacitor." / "Flux capacitor, huh?" Marty repeated.
#Flux capacitor professional
Moving his head next to it so that he could be seen on camera and describe its workings at the same time, Doc Brown continued in his professional tone. Marty pointed the camera at the strange-looking object. "Get a picture of this on tape," he said. " This is what makes time travel possible." -Doc Brown " Leaning inside the DeLorean, Doc Brown pointed to a particular centerpiece unit.
