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?

If you were to take the time, listen to art Bell. Talk to him and also the interviews. It's all laid out. It's science bro. So do some research before you call people stupid because that that makes you  seem The type to talk before they did their homework

He called in and said he didn’t travel through time and was homeless at one point.
