My childhood buddy built a free flight gas powered model airplane, this was circa 1950s. It was meant to spiral up, run out of fuel and spiral down. First flight it spiraled up and up and up but drifted rapidly in the wind until it was out of sight. “Guess I shouldn’t had filled the gas tank…” We rode our bikes looking until dark…..
This is like the time machine story about the guy who was able to accelerate time and travel 50 years into the future – died of old age a few minutes after arrival.

The device is holding steady. The Earth is slowly being pushed off its orbit.

This reminds me a bit of a recent story arc in Non Sequitur about Danae and a time machine. (This one had a guinea pig instead of dinosaurs, tho.)

I’d really like to invent a process for cold fusion. But I don’t think I will. (I’m not smart enough).
