Flux Capacitor

Tatoma, an intern with Atomo-Dyne, watched the Rocket Dogs train at The Circuit on Quantum Prime. What truly impressed him was how most of the dogs seldom lost their zeal for running. Yet there were a few that struggled. He toyed with the idea of using an electro-neuro stimulant device which would enhance a dog’s ability to project a positive outcome. Not a drug or any type of banned substance, but simply a device producing an electrical field at the correct places on a dog’s skin that gave the dog a feeling of wellbeing. With this feeling, the dog would run better and faster knowing it was doing fine, no matter what place it was in. Tatoma shared his idea with his neem advisor and together they designed the Flux Capacitor.

Dealing with various dog sizes and fur types, the Flux Capacitor has 3 independent, articulating attachment points to make sure each dog receives electrical stimulus in the optimal places. At first, the dogs seemed to like having the Flux Capacitor on them, enhancing their moods, but after further tests, Tatoma noticed the device caused diminishing results. He was close to calling it a failure when he overheard Vokli, the Toba in charge of training the golden retrievers, telling her charges that one more lap around the track would win them a Meaty Femur. Tatoma knew immediately that too much Flux Capacitor was a bad thing. It needed to be a reward for a mid-race accomplishment! He quickly setup a remote beacon at the Start/Finish line at The Circuit. Every time a dog wearing a Flux Capacitor would cross the Start/Finish line, it would get a temporary strong feeling of wellbeing that caused it to run faster with ease. After a few laps the dog understood that the faster it got back to the Start/Finish line, the faster the Flux Capacitor would fire again. Problem solved.
