One of my earlier time-displacement devices was actually powered by a V12 Flare-Goose. Each cylinder of Tardis-space contained a mid-air 1937 Grumman Goose, each containing a flair set to trigger in a particular sequence. The resultant firework actually retrochroned its entire Tardis-space 15ms into the past, to the point just before the triggering, and the sequence of all twelve cylinders created a perpetual splodey engine which could displace itself and a bubble of the immediate vicinity 15ms into the past to when the first cylinder was triggered. Since this was operating at several million RPM, the milliseconds quickly added-down to unlimited rear-way time-travel.
Unfortunately, the exhaust system spewed exponentially-increasing viral anti-matter, and within 15ms it went all kinda Big Bang-ish and the neighbours in the universe next door called the cops again.
I don't know how a 193
8 Grumman Goose would go though. I moved on to using mutant gerbils in 17-dimensional hamster-playballs, which only messed up my burnt orange shag carpet a little (it was actually just plain "orange" when I started).
Still, it couldn't hurt to try, pshrynk. What's the worse that could happen?
