Just noticed Jaycar Electronics have secured stock for a Flux Capacitor. Preorder only. Expected delivery October 1985.

From their website…
How it works? When the capacitor is charged with 1.21GW of energy the internal transient thermostratum begins an internal rapid particle acceleration process. The exterior of the capacitor will experience extreme ionasation followed by nano bursts of reverse quantum entanglement. During this process, it is necessary to keep the device itself accelerating through a 3 dimensional space, for example driving a car. At a user configurable velocity a time-warp bubble will open for a matter of pico seconds allowing the device, and whatever is attached, to pass through to the predefined time/date.

        Anyone that has one, go back to October 26th 1985 and pick us up one.

    • Melb69 on 20/08/2020 - 05:10

      Missed out again. Been waiting for it to get back in stock since March. Need parts for my Delorean. Not a bargain, but hard to find, so worth getting.

        If you already had one, why did you need more?

    Pricematch at Officeworks?

    • stefanko on 19/08/2020 - 14:18
      +9

      the officeworks version does not have band 28

      • jv on 19/08/2020 - 14:21
        +2

        Correct.

        Different model, so they avoid the price match

  • ChillBro on 19/08/2020 - 14:15

    Haha cool, they even have a datasheet. "E.BROWN CORP"

    • ShipShapeRC on 19/08/2020 - 14:19

    are they gonna charge my card when I order or when they dispatch?

    • alphalpha on 19/08/2020 - 14:17

      they can do either or both

      • stefanko on 19/08/2020 - 14:19

        currently have only $199000 limit that's why I am asking. Will have to increase it :)))

    • kampret on 19/08/2020 - 14:18

      Not sure if they accept multiple cards payment.

        If I use AMEX do it get the $5 Shop Small credit?

    No bluetooth. Meh

    • ShipShapeRC on 19/08/2020 - 14:20

      No band 28 either! No good for Optus.

    • vash5 on 19/08/2020 - 14:22

    bought 5 thanks OP!

    I'll see you guys in 2030.

  • ShipShapeRC on 19/08/2020 - 14:17

    This has been on their site for many many years. Not new. I guess you could also say it should be pinged at as it usual price (not a bargain) AND insufficient quantity.

    • Waynes world on 19/08/2020 - 14:23

      Yes, that was my first concern lol

    • Helmuth on 19/08/2020 - 14:26

      I agree. How is this a bargain? It appears to be normal retail price

    • FireRunner on 19/08/2020 - 16:25
      +2

      We actually have a post from 2017 about this very product

      • AdModnar on 19/08/2020 - 17:38

        Yes, and from that it was "Posted by Jaycar on 21 October 2015", but they might have had it in the first place only since sometime in 2037.

      • Waynes world on 19/08/2020 - 17:42

        I did a quick search but didn't see it. Oh well. Good to rehash classics sometimes :P

        • CVonC on 19/08/2020 - 18:16

          Thought it was you cos of the same profile pic lol

        • Waynes world on 19/08/2020 - 23:16

    Buy it, go back in time just before delivery and steal it from the delivery man - report non delivery

    not a bargain, this is normal price

    • AdModnar on 19/08/2020 - 17:33

      What? Normal price? When I checked next year, it was $210k

  • inherentchoice on 19/08/2020 - 14:18

    No cashback?

    • AdModnar on 19/08/2020 - 17:41

      once you get one, could try organise cash-back afterwards before hand.

  • Nugs on 19/08/2020 - 14:18

    no discount for multi buy = no deal
    .

  • alphaoasis on 19/08/2020 - 14:19

    $200,000 and still out of stock.

    This is the regular price

  • ShipShapeRC on 19/08/2020 - 14:20

    How long will it take for the mods to pull this one?

  • knasty on 19/08/2020 - 14:20

    I hope it's not 5G compatible…too dangerous.

    Does it run on eneloops?

    • ShipShapeRC on 19/08/2020 - 14:22
      +4

      If you run enough in parallel it should work. P=V x A so work backwards you need 1,008,333,334 eneloops fully charged to 1.2 volts delivering 1amp each to get 1.21 GW

  • MangoUbe on 19/08/2020 - 14:22

    OMG. 5 users reported it as Expired/Sold Out. LOL!

    several people bought 5-10. Sure they will be some on gumtree next week for $250000-$300000

    On an unrelated matter, does anyone know a good Delorean specialist?

    • Cliche Guevara on 20/08/2020 - 07:09

      No such thing as a "good" Delorean…

  • Speckled Jim on 20/08/2020 - 07:52

    I've always questioned the authenticity of that 1985. Marty has a cassette tape labeled "Eddie Van Halen", yet EVH never released a solo album!
    Alternate timeline?

  • OzHunterNSW on 20/08/2020 - 09:53

    Buy…. then port back to cancel order

  • Captain Hindsight on 11/05/2024 - 21:25

    It’s gone up to $250k, I’d just saved 200😢
