The Time Machine Project
« on: November 17, 2010, 06:21:04 PM »
Okay, for school, I have to read the book The Time Machine (awesome book by the way) then I have to write a report and present it in front of the class (that part I'm not thrilled about). But the cool part is I need to make a "visual assistant" and my father  Va1 and I are going to make a scaled down model of the time machine from the book, or I'll just have to make a morlock. Tell me if you have any idea or comments. Thanks for reading. :)

I have not read the book but this sounds interesting. Is there a description of tha actual machine? or better yet any pictures? If not I would go with a circular center piece that a person would get in and add 2 or 3 arms that spin around it to create a magnetic field. Atleast that is how I designed mine but it didn't work... :P

Is this the one by HG Wells?  If so, they had made a movie.  Let me see if I can find a pic of the one from the movie, if that will help you.
