Snow lightening strikes scientist

While hunting for cactus plants a few years ago near Triple Adobe, Arizona, in a blinding "snow lightening" storm, I was suddenly struck with an idea for a new tool to extract those spiney little devils from my body! I raced home to the laboratories here at Arizona Cactus, rolled up my smock sleeves and just went to work! It is with a great deal of pleasure that I now describe this new tool:


The turbo encabulator

For a number of years, 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 relying upon hydrostatic activation of the negative control mechanism, the machine has a magnetic amplifier thrust action.

The original machine had a base plate of prefabulated amuline, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the pentametric fan. Then the ambifacient lunar wane-shaft was supported so that side fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type, placed in panendermic semiboloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a non-reversible tremie pipe to the differential girdle spring 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 5% pure reminative tetryliodohexamine.

Both of these liquids have specific percosities given by P 2.5c 6.7', where P is the diathetical evolute of retrograde temperature phase disposition and C is Cholomondeley's annular grillage coefficient. It is more than interesting to note that Initially, N was measured with the aid of a petapholar refractive pilfrometer (for a description of this ingenious instrument, see L.E. Rempelverstein in "Zeischrift Und Der Elektrotechnistatichs-Donnerblitzen," Vol. V11), but up to the present date, nothing has been found to equal the transcendental hopper dadoscope. (See proceedings of the Peruvian Academy of Skatological Science," June, 1918.)

Electrical engineers will appreciate the dificulty of nubing together a regurgitive prewell and a supramitive wennel-sprocket.

Indeed, this proved to be a stumbling block to further development,
until, 1998, when I found that the use of anhydrous nagling pins enabled a kryptonastic boiling shim to be welded to the tankard.

The early attempts to construct a sufficiently robust spiral decommutator failed largely because of a lack of appreciation of the large quasi-iestic stresses in the gremlin studs. The latter were specifically designed to hold the roffitt bars to the span- shaft. However, I have found that all wending can be prevented
very simply by adding a mere quarter-liter of tetryl benzamine.

The operating point is maintained as near as possible to the H.F. rem-peak by constantly frommaging the bitumogenous spandrels. This is a distinct advance on the standard nivel-sheave in that no dram-cock oil is required after the phase detractors have remissed.

Undoubtedly the Turbo-Encabulator has now reached a very high level in technical development. It has been sucessfully used for operating noffer trunions in the field. In addition, whenever a varescent skor motion is required, it may be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciproacting dingle arm to greatly reduce sinusoidal depleneration.
