* The time machine in ''Film/SafetyNotGuaranteed'' is [[spoiler:a swamp boat]]. Whether or not it actually works is the big question of the film.

* In ''Film/LesVisiteurs'', it's a potion made by a wizard accompanied by a MagicalIncantation. To send someone who drank the potion back or forward in time, the following words must be pronounced: [[CrossoverCosmology "Per Horus et per Ra et per Solem Invictus duceres"]]. It turns time travellers into something that represents their true self then sends them to another era. Godefroy de Montmirail gets turned into crystal, presumably because he's pure of heart, then shatters. His [[TheDungAges smelly]], rascally and {{m|edieval morons}}oronic squire Jacquouille gets turned into a big pile of dung. Jacquouille's descendant, Jacquart, gets turn into... a small pile of dung, presumably because he's a [[{{Jerkass}} petty jerk]]. And Jean-Pierre Goulard gets turned into golf balls because he loves golf.

a photo booth. Neither Amelia nor her mother Lauren could get it to work until the Sweet Sixteen Killer stabbed the control panel and sent Jamie back to 1987.
** The second was a racing car arcade machine that Amelia quickly improvised to go after Jamie, after realizing that the knife the killer plunged into the original machine added the extra metal conductor that it needed to operate.
** Finally, in 1987 a teenaged Lauren would hook the time machine component to the Quantum Drop, a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitron Gravitron-esque]] spinning amusement park ride, so Jamie can return to 2023.

* Played with in ''Series/TheLibrarians2014'', where we see a room in the Library that contains dozens of different time machines (including a [[Film/BackToTheFuture DeLorean]] and a [[Series/DoctorWho blue police box]]), each of which works on a different principle, which means that, if you use one to go back in time, you can't use another to return. Later on, a special type of time machine, known as the [[spoiler:Toaster of Albuquerque]], is revealed, which tracks people instead of years. [[spoiler:Flynn uses it to time-jump to Nicole just prior to her StartOfDarkness and convince her to stay on the good side. This ends up undoing the events of Season 4]].

** The [[Film/BackToTheFuture first film]]'s [[CoolCar DeLorean]], which is the inspiration for this trope. The film's creators justify this by saying that it makes more sense to have a time machine that you can take with you, rather than one that just sits at your destination. Plus the stainless steel construction makes the [[TechnoBabble flux dispersal]] work that much better.
