"Tom, how am I going to generate that kind of power? It can't be done, it can't!"

—Emmett Brown

Thomas Edison was a scientist of the late 19th and early to mid 20th century. He developed the first working incandescent light bulb and electrified many portions of the United States. Emmett Brown had a portrait of Thomas Edison in his garage.

Behind the scenesEdit
