Mr. Fusion
Encyclopedia : M : MR : MRF : Mr. Fusion
The Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor is the name of a fictional power source used by the DeLorean time machine in the Back to the Future trilogy. It can be seen towards the end of Back to the Future when "Doc" Emmett Brown pulls into the McFly's driveway after a trip to the year 2015.
The Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor converts organic waste to power the time machine's flux capacitor and time circuits using nuclear fusion. In the film, Mr. Fusion allows the DeLorean time machine to generate the required 1.21 gigawatts to travel through the space-time continuum. The energy produced by Mr. Fusion replaces plutonium as the primary power source of the DeLorean's time travel and flight capabilities.
