The Transducer

Is a tool that everyone in the year 3000 uses. Alana was learning to control the power when she was kidnapped by Silverthorn. She had her transducer with her when she was kidnapped, so she was able to use it in 1990. The transducer is very simple looking device which looked like a headband with a crystal on it. The transducer was invented in 2500 by a woman called Maeve. Alana also states that humans have a 'telepathy gland' in which the transducer cannot work without. The transducer focuses the power of the mind to levitate objects, heal wounds and, if used the wrong way, blow things up. This is why people must learn to control their emotions.

PJ (Computer Companion)

Everyone in the year 3000 has a computer companion, it is a wrist computer which looks like a bracelet, it comes in many colours and always has six silver studs along the middle, it has artificial intelligence with a calm reassuring voice. These computers offer advice, can work out calculations for you, tell you the time, project holograms (so long as there is a holodisk, a shiny disk about the size of a one cent piece) and you can even have conversations with them. They also teach manners, will not operate unless you ask them nicely with a 'please' and can also detect insincerity. Computer companions can also interface with other computers or anything electronic, and can then tell them what to do.

The Time Capsule

The Time Capsule is a time exploration machine constructed in the year 3000. The capsule is about 170 cm high and about the same in width. It looks like a massive plastic dodecahedron. There is a computer on board which contains all the history and knowledge from the year 3000. The people from tomorrow wanted information on the great disaster (an event which nearly destroyed the entire planet) so they invented the time capsule. There is artificial intelligence in the capsules computer which gives you any information you require, it simply responds to being called 'capsule'. When the capsule is about to go through time, it starts turning around slowly and then gets faster and faster, it soon creates a blue field around itself and then it literally explodes into the next time. Once arriving, it always has scorch marks from the explosion inside and outside the capsule and makes a noise that sounds like it's cooling down. In the first series, the capsule works on the yo-yo principle, the capsule is hurled back through time by a massive explosion of energy. When the energy runs out it is snapped back to its point of origin. By the second series the capsule was fitted with a totally independent energy source so it could move easily between times. However this new energy source can run out and is easily damaged.

Laser Pistol

A powerful laser gun is Silverthorn’s main weapon. This weapon is capable of killing someone, even destroying large objects such as walls. If you hold the trigger down it will force energy onto the object, making it go red and when you release the trigger, the object explodes.
