Techno Babble: Difference between revisions

* An old electrical engineering joke is a fictional device called the "Turboencabulator". Here's a portion of its description:

{{quote|"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 vaneshaft 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 nonreversible trem'e pipe to the differential girdlespring on the 'up' end of the grammeters."}}

** The French equivalent of this would be the sketch "[http://pierredac.free.fr/schmil.htm Le Schmilblick]" by humorist Pierre Dac.
