This could be a description of Tom Vu's latest home brew creation.

Just ordered that option for the new K3, Elecraft has a special on them...only one glitch, not available until the 1st of April.

Gee I could have upgraded the transmission in the truck if I had a spare $748K

Google Retroencabulator by Rockwell

[W3SLK]

That was the fellow that retired from Rockwell. The "Retro-Encabulator" spot was made as an homage to him at his retirement party. It was supposed to stay within the walls of Rockwell. It didn't and to use an over-used term, "went viral." And the rest is history.

Is anyone on this thread familiar with the 'turboencabulator'? Would anyone like to read about it? If not, I'll go away, but if anyone would I'd be pleased to post it.

Go for it Walt.  Your posts are great!

[N8UH]

Walt, let's hear your story!

Your continued written contributions to AMfone are so valuable and informative that you have your own forum! Not many others can say that...  Personally, I am honored to get first-hand accounts from someone who has experienced as much as you have.

So let's have it!

[W2DU]

Well folks, you asked for it, but I'm not sure you're going to be too happy with your decision. You may wind up wanting to shun me totally after this. But here it comes anyway--hold yer hats!

The TURBO-ENCABULATOR in INDUSTRY

For a number of years now work has been proceeding in order to bring
perfection to the crudely conceived idea of a machine that would not
only supply inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase
detractors, but would also be capable of automatically synchronizing
cardinal grammeters. Such a machine is the "Turbo-Encabulator."
Basically, the only new principle involved is that instead of power
being generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it is
produced by the modal interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive
directance.

The original machine had a base-plate of prefabulated amulite,
surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two
spurving bearings were in a direct line with the pentametric fan. The
latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzelvanes, so fitted to the
ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively
prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed
in panendermic semi-boloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor
being connected by a non-reversible tremie pipe to the differential
girdlespring on the "up" end of the grammeters.

Forty-one manestically spaced grouting brushes were arranged to feed
into the rotor slip-stream a mixture of high S-value
phenylhydrobenzamine and five per cent reminitive tetryliodohexamine.
Both of these liquids have specific pericosities given by P=2.5Cn^6.7
where n is the diathetical evolute of retrograde temperature phase
disposition and C is Cholmondeley's annular grillage coefficient.
Initially, n was measured with the aid of a metapolar refractive
pilfrometer (for a description of this ingenious instrument, see L. E.
Rumpelverstein in "Zeitschrift f|r Elektrotechnistatischs-
Donnerblitze" vol. vii), but up to the present date nothing has been
found to equal the transcendental hopper dadoscope (see "Proceedings of
the Peruvian Academy of Skatological Sciences" June, 1914.)

Electrical engineers will appreciate the difficulty of nubing together a
regurgitative purwell and a supramitive wennelsprocket. Indeed, this
proved to be a stumbling block to further development until, in 1942, it
was found that the use of anhydrous nangling pins enabled a kryptonastic
bolling shim to the tankered.

The early attempts to construct a sufficiently robust spiral
decommutator failed largely because of a lack of appreciation of the
large quasi-piestic stresses in the gremlin studs; the latter were
specially designed to hold the roffit bars to the spamshaft. When,
however, it was discovered that wending could be prevented by a simple
addition to the living sockets, almost perfect running was secured.

The operating point is maintained as near as possible to the h.f. rem
peak by constantly fromaging the bitumogenous spandrels, This is a
distinct advance on the standard nivelsheave in that no dramcock oil is
required after the phase detractors have remissed.

Undoubtedly, the turbo-encabulator has now reached a very high level of
technical development. It has been successfully used for operating nofer
trunnions. In addition, whenever a barescent skor motion is required, it
may be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocating dingle arm to
reduce sinusoidal depleneration.


I steadfastly refuse to sign my name to this utterly inane bit of nonsense. I hope this doesn't cause the admin to lock this thread as a result.

Walt,
That page will probably keep this forum's spell check function busy for the next month! Good Stuff.

......sinusoidal depleneration.

I had that once. Quite chronically too!

I thought they prescribed penicillin for that

Sounds like that comedian Norm Crosby talking. He was very popular in the 60's and 70's. One malapropism after another. Very funny guy.

Anyone remember the interocitor?

I haven't heard of the interocitor, Bruce, but I'd like to.

However, although the turboencabulator is nonsense, I still have to give credit to the author, who must have been a brilliant, but addlepated, genius to have invented all those terms. Coming up with terms like those is way beyond my ken.

Hi Walt,

The interocitor was a video and audio communications device that the alien invaders utilized in the classic mid-1950's sci-fi film, "This Island Earth".

"This Island Earth" can be yours if the price is right!!!! My apologies to Mystery Science Theater.
