- Le Turboencabulator (aussi appelé Turbo-Encabulator, Retroencabulator ou Retro-Encabulator) est un appareil électronique de fiction, à la fonction totalement indéterminée, dont la description fait appel à un jargon technique inexistant mais plausible pour un béotien de la technique. Habituellement, on fait appel au Turboencabulator pour dénoncer l'abus de terme techniques spécifiques dans une description ou une présentation. (fr)
- The turbo encabulator (later the retro encabulator) is a fictional electromechanical machine with a satirical technobabble description that became a famous in-joke amongst engineers after it was published by the British Institution of Electrical Engineers in their Students' Quarterly Journal in 1944. Technical documentation has been written for the non-existent machine, and there are a number of parody marketing videos. The original machine has a base-plate of prefabulated aluminite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two main spurving bearings were in a direct line with the pentametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzlevanes, 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-bovoid 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. — John Hellins Quick, "The turbo-encabulator in industry", Students' Quarterly Journal, Vol. 15, Iss. 58, P. 22 (December 1944) (en)
