The United States version of the Time Tunnel was built in 1958. ("Rendezvous with Yesterday") One of the lead scientists of the project, Dr. Doug Phillips, first envisioned that the Time Tunnel would have a capsule developed and work in conjunction with the Tunnel, which housed up to two time travelers so they could be transported to another place and time. However, the capsule turned out to be a failure (and fatal), which it was replaced by a radiation bath that people must pass through first in order to travel through time. ("Secret Weapon")

| - The United States version of the Time Tunnel was built in 1958. ("Rendezvous with Yesterday") One of the lead scientists of the project, Dr. Doug Phillips, first envisioned that the Time Tunnel would have a capsule developed and work in conjunction with the Tunnel, which housed up to two time travelers so they could be transported to another place and time. However, the capsule turned out to be a failure (and fatal), which it was replaced by a radiation bath that people must pass through first in order to travel through time. ("Secret Weapon") During its first 10 years in existence, only a few animals (mostly monkeys) had been sent through the Time Tunnel during tests, although no concrete evidence could prove that they made it to a different time period, much less survive, as the Time Tunnel was not stable, so it was unknown where any individuals could end up in time if they were to enter it. In 1968, a senator traveled to the complex, as he was advised to either bring back proof of the Tunnel’s worth (as it had cost $7.5 billion U. S. at that point with little to show for it) or he would recommend upon returning to Washington for the project to be shut down. ("Rendezvous with Yesterday") Not appreciating the sudden deadline—as he felt Project Tic-Toc (the codename/complex for the secret project) was so “close” to a breakthrough—the other lead scientist of the project, Dr. Tony Newman, activated the Time Tunnel later that night and ran through it. As Project Tic-Toc personnel worked to try to locate where in time he had ended up, it was shown that the Tunnel could double as a viewer, as anyone in the present day at Project Tic-Toc could watch any events that occurred with whoever entered the Tunnel (as long as the Project Tic-Toc team had a lock on them and there wasn’t too much interference from various circumstances). They would later see for themselves that Newman ended up landing on the Titanic, the cruise ship that sunk during its maiden voyage several decades before. ("Rendezvous with Yesterday") Project Tic-Toc/The Time Tunnel complex is located near the Nevada/Arizona border. No exact location for the site was given. ("The Death Merchant") The Time Tunnel is physically only a few dozen meters long, although once it is activated for time travel its length actually becomes infinite then. ("Revenge of the Gods")
