Top 5 Time Travel Devices

OK. I was hanging out at home when I realized I was itching to do another Top list and what else to list for except time travel devices! So off I go to my Top 5 Time Travel Devices. For the record, this is mine!

Top 5: Time Travelling Delorean
Anyone who's ever watched Back to the Future will recognize this beauty. Created by Doc Brown, this time machine needs around 1.21 GW of power and a speed of around 88 miles an hour. The driving force of the movie series, the doctor also made a steam locomotive that can travel in time by the end of the third show.
Time Traveled: 60 years

Top 4: Time Machine
This should definitely get a mention here, since it is the grand-daddy of all time travel devices. Written by H.G. Wells, the book has created at least two movies, and has since been a favorite of mine. I like the sort of "steampunk" look, the limitations(it can only travel through time, not space), the throne like effect, I love it!

Time Traveled: 100 million years

Top 3: Time Turner
 Who says time travel is only on the borders of science and technology? Even wizards can time travel, too! This locket-type device can bring you back in time depending on how many times you turn it. A bit ineffective, but hey! It's nifty enough to get you to take to subjects with the same time, so who cares?

Time Traveled: 1-2 days


Top 2: TARDIS
Being a fan of Doctor Who, why would I not include this in a top 5 of time travel devices? Short for "TIME AND RELATIVE DIMENSION IN SPACE", this ancient blue box, which is bigger on the inside, has been one of the things that make Dr. Who a great show. It doesn't have conventional weaponry, but it is considered to be the most dangerous weapon in all the universe by many species. Why? Because it's bigger on the inside. Just let that sink in for a moment.

Time Traveled: 100 trillion years, to the end of time and space

OK. So for the top one time travel device I had some considerations. Ease of use, convenience, design, and power. So what could it be?

Top 1: Vortex Manipulator

Okay you got me. So this thing is still from Dr. Who. But who cares? It's almost as powerful as the Tardis, and the doctor disabled the one owned Capt. Jack Harkness because it was considered "too dangerous for a being like him to have one." Doesn't that say something? Right now the signature travel device of Prof. Song, this thing is compact, easy to use, and very dangerous if in the wrong hands.
Time Traveled: 100 trillion years, back from the end of time and space

So there! My top 5 time travel devices. If you think something else should be in here, just comment and let me know!
