Time Crystal
Dr. Henrich had been working on the prototype for decades. His entire career had been devoted to transferring the three dimensional periodic arrangement of a crystal onto a four dimensional construct.
He had finally succeeded.
His time crystal would allow him to travel to any time he wished. He could walk through the past the same way we normally walk down a busy street.
Unfortunately at his age, he was hobbled by his recent hip replacement and the crystal wasn't large enough to fit his Segway. It would take him hours just to make it back to breakfast this morning.
