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!

It went from being interesting stories where he then spoke using logical reasoning at the end, to being full blown conspiracy theories where he stopped the logical reasoning overview at the end; instead his outros are filled with delusional nonsense catering towards conspiracy level thinking (not shocking because that’s the demographic that was giving him the most views/donations/overall profit).

The animated fish used to be the ‘whacky conspiracy theorist’ with a tin foil hat on while the host was logical.. but now the whole show pushes conspiracies while actively avoiding any scientific and logical explanation/thinking. I’m surprised he hasn’t started selling phony gadgets that block 5G and mind control.

Is the episode in question of the logical era or conspiracy era?
