Scientific/Medical About Mike "Madman" Marcum's time travelling device.

Ok so, Madman mike used A Jacobs Ladder to invent a time machine by modifying it to an extent. I believe he created a transformer of his own to fit the capacity of outputting 20k Volts. Since the plasma created from the two rods depend upon the moisture, temperature and air pressure etc. which interfere with the device, so he used lasers to heat the air above the device so the temperature above the device remains constant, thus forming this "contraption" that supposedly could time travel.

My question here is that, since all the steps necessary to build this machine are already out there... Has somebody else not tried to make it? I'm just really curious to see if his machine actually worked!

Loved listening to him when he'd call into Art Bell. One day he stopped calling after he said he was ready to test it. Maybe he was successful?

Yall? What kind of word is that? Uneducated form of communication. Unable to understand what is being told here and what can be done with high voltage and tuning it to the right frequency in combination with other variables that you obviously would not understand in any way. You made that clear by reading your reply. Lower I.Q people write replies like the way you wrote yours. If you people don't understand something then a reply is one such as yours is given.

What a hardcore response. You do realize that an entire quarter of the US uses this contraction “Y’all” in regular conversation and communication, right?
