      Don't tell me you don't know the behind the scenes story of the writers writing "Jiggawatts" instead of Gigawatts leading to a ather infamous reaction "...the hell is Jiggawatt?" ? C'mon man, don't make me sad.*****

    Given me some good ideas. If you used the light setting where the lights flash in sequence and appear to be moving, you could then loop it through the holes in such a way that the lights all move towards the centre and would look more movie realistic... Great job though.

    You could really up the production value by swapping out the cardboard for a cheap metal lunch box, or even a plastic one. I'd need to look up some numbers, but I'm also pretty sure you could lower the cost and increase the accuracy by getting LED strip lights and putting them in some simple clear plastic tubing; $17 for a box of rope lights, half of which you're not even using, is a pretty big waste on this project.

      When the Delorean hits 88mph the flux copacitor emits a bright light instead of fluxing, so technically it is accurate.
