He used it when he was trapped in [[1969]] by the [[Weeping Angel]]s to detect others who had been [[time travel|sent back in time]]. It looked like a late-[[20th century]] portable open-reel tape recorder with only one spool. It alerted the Doctor to an anomaly by dinging. The exact nature of the device's functioning was not made clear; the Doctor's deliberately vague explanation to [[Billy Shipton]] was that "It goes 'ding' when there's stuff." However, it may be inferred the timey-wimey detector was primed to detect residual [[artron energy]] acquired by beings who had travelled in the [[Time Vortex]]. This energy was loosely described by the Doctor as "wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff", hence the name of the device. The timey-wimey detector had one main side-effect: "it boils an egg at thirty paces, whether you want it to or not." The Doctor learned to stay away from [[hen]]s, as "it's not pretty when they blow". ([[DW]]: ''[[Blink]]'') | | {{Infobox Object |object name = Timey-wimey detector|image = timey-wimey.png'') |
