Acme pressure gauge

"Only if it turns out that reality is actually nothing more than a holographic illusion created by the interplay of subatomic particles on a vast two-dimensional membrane."

This article covers a subject that has been deemed non-canon by either the author or the Back to the Future licensees, and thus should not be taken as a part of the "real" Back to the Future universe.

The Acme pressure gauge was the pressure gauge that Doc Brown installed on his makeshift distillery in 1991.

Doc built the distillery in order to distill juniper berries to treat the infection in his dog Einstein's eyes. However, due to his haste in creating the makeshift distillery, Doc accidentally put the relief valve on backwards. Thus, the Acme pressure gauge on the distillery reaches critical, and the machine explodes.
