The Hover Illusion is just that, an "ILLUSION" The wheels do not fold down from the car in anyway. The hover wheels are designed for display effect as an accessory. Each Hover wheel hangs from the Delorean tire via a thick aluminum custom bracket. The hover wheels are real authenic rubber tires that we have cut 1/4 off. Then we place a cover over the Delorean real wheels with a custom made black washable hood. The hover tire has a custom made aluminum bracket bolted to an aluminum plate that is bolted to the tire. We add some LED lighting underneath the tire, a plug-in connector and the effect is "AWESOME"! The Delorean can not be moved once the Hover wheels are installed. Each Hover wheel weighs approx. 25 pounds. Installing the hover wheels only requires one person to install. This illusion is great for attracting large crowds. This Time Machine has been a big hit and crowd pleaser since we had its debut .
Our Delorean Time Machine has many extra features that are not found on other Time Machines. We have our electronic systems power by a state of the art Power Distribution System complete with bypass toggles switches and fuses for each section. We don't use the Delorean battery to power our devices. We installed a 12VDC 26 amp SLA battery with a 10 amp charger and an external power port to plug in an electrical cord for recharging of the battery.
This Time Machine has internal and external lighted props. All our props are custom made in house, designed to function together and are bolted to the vehicle with "ONLY" stainless steel lock nuts, screws and bolts.
We installed internal and external speakers to the audio system for the crowds to hear each sound effect evenly from front to back of the car. We included a 24 watt mulit-channel playback module to the audio system with the following audio bytes: BTTF Theme song, Three of Doc's famous phrases, Driver's & Passenger's Gullwing Door opening sound, TDC activation and deactivation, Plutonium Meter empty beeping sound, TDC blinking seconds lights and beeping sound and my favoprite sound come from our MR. Fusion. When the Mr. Fusion prop is opened for you to throw in your solid waste fuel, you'll hear the suction release sound upon opening. It sounds "AWESOME"!
We also have a back-up camera with a 7 inch LCD screen that pops out of the DVD radio system so the operator can view what's behind the Delorean before backing the vehicle up. "BUT", best of all, this Time Machine's electronic systems are all controlled by a 8 channel wireless controller and keyfob. With a push of a button the owner can activate any tied in function up to 300 feet away from the vehicle. We have the following wireless functions: Wirelessly or manually activate the vehicle's inner Time Circuits just like turning the "Y" handle on/off. wirelessly or manually turn the Flux Band lights on/off, wirelessly or manually turn the Flux Capacitor's temporal displacement mode on/off, wirelessly or manually the Hover Illusion lights on/off, wirelessly or manually activate the expelling fog from the exhaust vents, Wirelessly or manually turn on/off the exhaust vents lights and wirelessly or manually play any recorded sound byte in single shot or the BTTF Theme song as a continuous play back loop for the crowds to hear over and over while the Time Machine is on display. Our Overhead Aux. Switch Panel has adjustable random flashing lights and 9 working switches that manually turn on/off various devices through-out the vehicle. Our Spectrum Analyser has 200 LEDs that move in a random up and dowm cascading effect. The Plutonium Meters have backlite faces and needles that move when powered to on. Our TFC Drive Switch controls the entire cars systems to on/off with the twist of the "Y" handle and has 4 toggle switches that manually control the bulkhead components from on to off just like in the movie.
