The turbo encabulator is a fictional electromechanical machine with a satirical technobabble description that became a famous in-joke among engineers after a report about it by John Quick 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.
