The flux capacitor.

The flux capacitor.

Well, uranium dioxide's a ceramic, and ceramic doesn't like releasing what's inside of it.

Time circuit's on. Flux capacitor, fluxing.

At first you only have ceramic toilets

It's this very cold, hard Mexican ceramic tile.

They're dropping the ceramic, the temperature lower and lower.

The similar difference exists in the world of ceramic wear.

It's a capacitor and when the power goes off that memory is lost.

It makes the ceramic less resistant and knocks out the interior magnetic field.

This bread is baked in a Baja, a big ceramic amphorae used as oven.

When we're doing this with electrons we don't call it a bucket. We call it a capacitor.

Imagine a coil. For those of you that are engineers, there's a capacitor attached to it too.

That's when you got the idea for the flux capacitor which is what makes time travel possible.

If we could somehow harness this lightning channel it into the flux capacitor it just might work.

Focus our own magnetic field to negate, knock out with the inverse... what's going on inside the ceramic.

Jodi Lomask, and her wonderful troupe Capacitor, joined me in the canopy in my rainforest site in Costa Rica.

Meanwhile, we've outfitted the time vehicle with this big pole and hook which runs directly into the flux capacitor.

And those a little bit up the scale eat off of a sort of a low fired ceramic dish.

So YiJung is a genius ceramic artist who debuted at Biennale at the age of 16 as the youngest artist.

I was a ceramic designer for about 10 years, and just loved utilitarian form simple things that we use every day,

The reactors we have today use uranium oxide as a fuel. It's a ceramic material, chemically stable, but not very good at transferring heat.

And there on the smaller scale, the scale of an earring or a ceramic pot or a musical instrument, was a materiality and a soulfulness.

The fuel, like I said, is ceramic inside zirconium fuel rods, and in the event of an accident in one of these type of reactors,

According to the flyer, at precisely 10 04 p.m. this Saturday night lightning will strike the clock tower, electrifying the cable as the connecting hook makes contact thereby sending 1.21 gigawatts into the flux capacitor and sending you back to 1985.

And there was this artist teaching, who made a great big old ceramic vessel, and I happened to be looking in the door of the art room and if you've ever seen clay done, it's magic and I'd never seen anything like that before in my life.

Each mirror, there are four of them, is made of a single piece of glass, a monolithic piece of high tech ceramic, that has been ground down and polished to such accuracy that the only way to understand what that is is to imagine a city like Paris, with all its buildings and the Eiffel Tower, if you grind down Paris to that kind of accuracy, you would be left with bumps that are one millimeter high.
