Dr. Evermor's Forevertron. Scrap metal sculpture. On display Dr. Evermor's Art Park on Highway 12,town of Sumptor, Sauk County, Wisconsin, USA. Constructed in the 1980s.[1][2]

"The sculpture incorporates two Thomas Edison dynamos from the 1880s, lightning rods, high-voltage components from 1920s power plants, scrap from the nearby Badger Army Ammunition Plant, and the decontamination chamber from the Apollo 11 spacecraft. Its fictional creator, Dr. Evermor, was born Tom Every [...] and is a former demolition expert who spent decades collecting antique machinery for the sculpture and the surrounding fiction that justifies it. According to Every, Dr. Evermor is a Victorian inventor who designed the Forevertron to launch himself, 'into the heavens on a magnetic lightning force beam.'"[3]
