It's gigawatts mispronounced. From the IMDB:
Doc Brown's dog Einstein arrives from the world's first time-travel excursion at 1:21am. Coincidentally, the DeLorean requires 1.21 gigawatts of electricity to travel through time. Also: The prefix "giga" was formerly more commonly pronounced as jiga, just as Doc Brown pronounces it. --Ben Gruss Gott wrote: >> Doom wrote: >> Gigawatts.
