Project Info:
Believe it or not, I'm from the future and I have come here to try and save your life
If you could travel through time, where -- or when -- would you go? Would you revisit a fond memory from your childhood? Catch a glimpse of the future? Or would you travel back in time and change something in your past - even if it changed who you are now?
How to Build a Time Machine follows two men, both of whom have set out on a quest to build their own time machines.
Rob Niosi is a stop motion animator who has spent the last eleven years constructing a full-scale replica of the time machine prop from the 1960 film adaptation of H.G. Wells’ novella, The Time Machine.
Ron Mallett is a physicist from the University of Connecticut who was also inspired by H.G. Wells’ story. However, Ron’s machine isn’t a replica. Dr.Mallett believes he has figured out how to build a real, working time machine.
