* 1.5 GW module
In the Back to the Future Movie, the DeLorean time machine is a time travel device made by retrofitting a DMC DeLorean vehicle with a flux capacitor. The car requires 1.21gigawatts of power and needs to travel 88 miles per hour (142 km/h) to initiate time travel. In real life, if you account 1 GW for uneven use and especially for distribution loss, 1 GW could realistically power 300,000 homes.
