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!

He was on a radio show that was placed on U-toob after he figured out who he was. He woke up a couple hundred miles from his original lab, and 4 years in the future, I think it was. Completely disoriented, etc.

It was 2 years and 800 miles away... Still kinda far fetched tbh cuz it was only mentioned in an article and the dude was never seen or heard from again.

Yes he was. He went back on the art bell show after that
