(SCI FI) Fictional (?) - Time Machines
The Temporal Voyage Craft (TVC-26) is a sophisticated, spherical time-travel vessel powered by advanced technology. Its mainframe, a neuromorphic/quantum computer, processes all predetermined jump data. Power is generated through condensation harnessed from the cooling coils of the spinner/appliance unit, which directs water to two steam generators producing the necessary electricity for the mainframe, electromagnetic field, and life support systems.
Hydrogen is extracted using photovoltaic water splitting and stored within the craft. Electrons are then extracted from the hydrogen gas via photoionization and further energized using an optical parametric oscillator. These energized electrons are stored temporarily in a fractal resonance chamber, where their vibrational frequency is matched to the magnetic field in the disk and cylinder chamber.
The disk and cylinder chamber consists of two sets of counter-rotating electromagnetic disks and cylinders, each capable of rotating at a maximum of 50,000 RPM. This setup, referred to as the "appliance" and the "spinner," generates a plasma through magnetic confinement fusion in a stellarator device. This plasma infiltrates a rotating liquid mercury ribbon channel surrounding the craft, creating an intense field that generates an effect similar to an Einstein-Rosen Bridge (wormhole), enveloping the craft.
The jump through the wormhole to a predetermined timeline is calculated by the flight team outside the craft, with self-generating algorithms adjusting the RPMs and frequency of the appliance and spinner to achieve the desired timeline, date, and location. The Gravitational Earth Lock (GEL) device tethers the craft to Earth’s gravity during the jump, ensuring the pilot cannot override the system or the algorithms.
Upon reaching the desired timeline, the pilot activates the craft's cloaking device and dons timeline-appropriate attire. Mission duration, typically for observation and intelligence gathering, is flexible and determined by the pilot’s discretion, with the return procedure pre-set in the craft's mainframe.
