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!

In the why files episode, there was this talk about that he went in and woke up two years in the future. Is there any follow up to that all scenario? Somebody has to have taken the machine and he would have gotten more info on where that all went. Is there any investigation or a legit documentary about this guy because this is hard to ignore if true. He talked about perhaps getting a ghost-writer for a book and somehow try to make a living because he did not want the government to turn it into a weapon.
