Rip Hunter's equipment

Time Sphere

The Time Sphere is the time travel device that the scientist known as Rip Hunter and his crew use to travel through time and space. The Time Sphere is capable of going anywhere in time theoretically, however there are a few places it cannot go. Logically the boundaries would tend to be the Beginning of the Universe and the Iron Curtain of Time erected by the Time Trapper at the End of Time.

Inside the Time Sphere are many items to assist the crew such as an Encyclopedia of Time and this assisted them in ?correcting history? to the path it was intended to go to all along.

The time Sphere has been adapted and used by various other heroes such as the Legion of Super-Heroes, which was modified by Brainiac 5 who created the Time Bubble. Due to the paradoxical nature of time travel, a Time Sphere was kept in a museum until it was stolen by Booster Gold to travel back to the 20th Century.

Time Pack

The Time Pack is a harness that straps upon the wearer's back and allows them to travel through the time stream. When originally developed, the process had not been perfected, so they were only good for one trip per destination, per user. Each Time Pack was networked to Rip Hunter's Time Sphere, and he could communicate with time displaced users by transmitting messages via tachyon signals.

The straps of the Time Packs included a safety valve that would automatically return the wearer to their static time period should an emergency arise. In 1990, young Corky Baxter tampered with a Time Pack and was inadvertently transported back to the Jurassic period. Rip coached him on how to operate the pack so that he could return home safely.
