[Back to the Future] How does the Delorean actually work?

The basics are always covered, but the actual mechanics of the time machine and, the Time Train?
gpt
The Delorean Time machine is operated from inside the vehicle, typically from the drivers seat. It has three very simple display screens, equivalent to what one used to find in digital watches or clock radios. One screen gives the destination time and date in red, the present time and date in green, and last departure date and time in yellow. These must be set to the desired points. The machine must then be accelerated up until 88 miles per hour, only getting it up to that speed activates the flux capacitor. Past that little is known, Doc Brown built the thing singlehandedly in his own private workshop, he seemed to assume nobody would understand the underlying physics and did not elaborate on what that may be. 

The Delorean simply stays in real time a few seconds after the flux capacitor kicks in, is surrounded by an electrical current much like a tesla coil, and disappears into whatever time it is going to. Only Doc Brown understands how it works at any more detailed level than that, and he never told anyone anything else.
