In early 1995, Mike “Madman” Marcum was trying to build a time machine on the porch of his home in Stanberry, Missouri, USA. He began building a device called the Jacobs Ladder.

It uses a modified CD laser to reduce air resistance between two contacts. The result is a continuous arc. When he turned on the device, he saw an unusual result.
