Thanks to blue apron, I'm able to feed the team here.

A death battle labs some super fresh meals with perfectly portioned ingredients.

I'll delivered right to our door.

And thanks to their easy to follow recipes, everyone thinks I'm a master chef.

I can just log into their website and customize our food preferences so I only get meals I know will love like the cashew chicken stir fry.

Don't just take my word for it.

Try it yourself.

You can get your 1st 3 meals absolutely free with free shipping by heading to blue apron dot com.

Forward slash desk.

That's blue apron dot com forward slash Tsk.

Now on with the show.

Buckle up, ladies and gents, this time we're checking out one of my favorites, Dr Emmett Brown's time Traveling DeLorean.

Where we're going, we don't need roads.

I'm just on the intern.

I do all the research nobody else wants to.

Straight from the desk of Death battle, Everyone agrees.

Doc Brown's DeLorean is cool, but not everyone knows just how literal that really is.

Turns out this sports car wasn't the good doctor's first time traveling device.

Problem was, he learned that when an object travels through time, the flux energy produced by the trip causes it to burst into flames.

Aches.

The DeLorean is the perfect time traveling machine.

It's stainless steel finish disperses the flux energy heat.

But that alone isn't enough, so Brown developed the flux capacitor.

A capacitor normally stores electrical energy, but this one specifically traps the energy produced by time travel, preventing spontaneous combustion.

Pretty rad, right?

Still, all this really leans more toward the fiction side of the SciFi barometer, except for the amount of power needed to get the DeLorean's time hopping going point play.

Does that sound like a made up measurement to you?

A lot of people think so, but fun fact it's not.

Doc Brown is actually referencing the unit we generally know as gigawatt, but why does he say it with a J sound?

Well, according to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, gigawatt is actually the official pronunciation of the word.

Technically, he's not pronouncing it wrong.

All the rest of us are anyway one gigawatt there.

Gigawatt is the equivalent of about one billion jewels per second.

You would need more than one million horses.

To match that in horsepower, one 0.21 gigawatts is a crap ton of energy, and the dark wasn't kidding when he said he would need a nuclear reactor.

As of 2015 America's smallest nuclear power plant has a single reactor, which generates about 500 megawatts, which would power up our DeLorean in just over two seconds.

But if that's too long of a wait for you, Arizona has a plant with three nuclear reactors, generating a staggering 3.9 gigawatts a second, more than enough to power our steely time machine in the blink of an eye.

Hill Valley's great null.

But if Doc Brown was really that passionate about his science work, he should have just moved to Arizona.

There's like new power plans around every corner over there, so we've got our powered up DeLorean.

Let's say the flux capacitor isn't working today, and we don't want to risk burning up in the time stream because that that would be bad.

What else can you do with 1.21 gigawatts?

Well, you could power a light bulb for about 140 days or one of those fancy led bulbs for four years.

What if you crammed all that energy into a different electric car?

Say, a superfast Tesla model s p 100 d m.

The coolest car ever, 1.21 gigawatts.

Could charge are 100 kwh battery a little more than three times giving our classy ride enough juice to travel over 900 miles.

That might not sound as impressive as time travel, but hey, at least you have comfortable seats and 0 to 60 in under three seconds.

Oh, and James Bond mode.

Did I mention James Bond mode?

Well, ladies and gents, I'm afraid I have to get back to the lab for, you know, science stuff.
