The Orb - Time travel device
(one of three) discovered in an Arizona crater during the
1890s on the fantasy western THE ADVENTURES OF BRISCO COUNTY,
JR./FOX/1993-94.
The orbs were a "man-made electromagnetic wave particle net
that captures energy at certain nodal intersections of the
space-time grid."
Because an orb possessed tremendous power (it imbued
Chinese miners with superhuman strength and resurrected the
mortally wounded bounty hunter Brisco County, Jr. from the
dead) it was sought by agents of the US Government and
criminal elements alike, especially the outlaw John Bly (Billy
Drago).
The orb's power was regulated by rods filled with blue
fluid that were inserted into the orbs. The dimpled surface of
the orb was extremely durable and couldn't even be scratched
with hydrochloric acid.
It was revealed that the orbs were actually placed on Earth by
a future civilization from the year 5502 to help the human
race develop and reach its full potential.
Unfortunately, for Earth of the 1890s, the orbs were also
coveted by a time traveler from the year 2506 who disguised as
the villainous outlaw John Bly wanted to harness the powers of
the orbs and return to his own time to control the future.
With the help of Karina (Melanie Smith), a 56th century
woman, Brisco County Jr. (Bruce Campbell) prevented Bly from
returning the orb to the 26th century and thus altering the
future for the worst.
Brisco activates the Orb
Whenever three blue rods were pulled from
the orb, a temporal displacement or portal into time opened.
The time traveler only needed to enter the portal and think of
their destination and they were instantly transported to that
place in time and space.
To prevent any further disturbance in the time line, Karina,
the visitor from the future, took all the remaining two orbs
back to her time after John Bly was vanquished (the third orb
was lost down a river when it fell from a speeding train).

given up on clothes?

Oh, no. We wear clothes, its
just easier for long distance time travel. No
