I purchased what I thought was a retro encabulator off of Wish but instead just received a regular encabulator… I’ve experienced far too many side fumbles, but I think I can tolerate it for how affordable it was, even though it wasn’t the exact model I wanted.
@@youngercI don’t think it’s a joke my company has one as well and I’ll tell you that the older version was way better because the spitter was 8 inches compared to the new one that’s only about 5 1/2 inches . making it harder to reach the rectal.
I don't think most people truly grasp the significance of how they've fitted the hydrocoptic marzel vanes. When I was still a kid in college, I lost a dear friend of mine in an engineering class when a waneshaft started side fumbling so hard that it lost ambifacence. The spurving bearings couldn't handle the panometric load and they shattered. Killed him instantly. It's been over fifty years, and I still have nightmares where I see the stator embedded in his skull, whirring around and leaving semi-boloid patterns carved into his scalp. People love to give Rockwell shit because of the way they couple their tremipipes, but the fact is, their design saves lives.
+DetroitBORG So ... do you really need to use Rockwell automation devices to pick me as a winner?? I already know that I am the winner... why do you need to go through so much hassle bro?? LOL ;-)
Had this on a VHS tape several years ago when I was an instructor for Rockwell. I would play this after introductions and formalities were gone over on the first day of class. It was hard to keep a straight face while watching the students catch on one by one until the room erupted in laughter.
Oh man that must be like heaven. I am still saving for my first. I've read that the new repeterator increased the power outlet of the discomobulator 10 fold. I can't wait to get mine.
The price has come down dramatically, and while they may be considered obsolete amongst industry experts, they still offer the best encabulating bang for your buck.
I inherited a retro encabulator from a distant relative and no idea what the darned thing did. Silly me I junked it, only to find out now it was a very high tech piece of equipment!
Although he _did_ almost crack twice (around the middle, and ~15s before the end), I must genuinely applaud *not only that fact,* but also his ability to _FLUIDLY_ rattle off so many bullshit terms at such speed! 👏🥺
The gestures really add to the presentation. It really helps with the immersion that you're listening to something you _shouldn't_ be too dumb to understand.
He’s an actor? I assumed that with such a fluent presentation and in-depth knowledge of the confabulator’s parameters he must be one of project engineers.
@@deusexaethera I think it is the best version I've seen. The original is good but this one beats it. I could see more people actually falling for this one.
It's wild to think that, up until the relatively recent past, we had no idea that by simply trilestifying an argon beam with 9,000 hydro-largs of kensiom we could carbomate a dingleswitch from flip to flop. Rockwell truly brought American engineering into the 21st century.
Even more impressive, Rockwell was actually being a bit conservative in their presentation. For example, I've read that in about 40% of cases the encabulator could even eliminate a significant amount of heat waste in NON-carbomatic flops as well.
The early serial numbered encabulators were prone to a lot of side fumbling though. my company bought a few of these to provide magnetoreluctant flux power to another piece of RF machinery, and the power delivery was terrible -- side fumbling, some phase detractance, not to mention the terrible noise. turns out it was a factory defect! They have so few of them that we got a personal apology from the CEO, and he oversaw the delivery of a whole new encabulator! Apparently the rest of the batch was recalled too.
My grandad used to tell stories of the pre-automation days. When he was my age he worked on a machine that produced inverse reactive current. His first ever job was getting paid a dime for each time he synchronized the cardinal grammeters. It's amazing to think that these machines now do it automatically.
I find that highly suspect. I worked during the transition phase to automatic, and we never had to synchronize the grams more often than every 75 operational hours, or 200,000 complete cycles. We had 12 manual encabulators on the main floor and all of them would lose synchronization at different times. The units were all the hopelessly designed Tricorp units with those absolutely awful idea of having the grammeters enclosed in a separate chamber of the amulet casing. It was a full 7 hour job to remove them. Nevertheless, It was part of our contract, not something we were paid for separately. So unless your gramps was doing other things during that time, I don't see how he could be paid so little for that job.
@@LordSandwichII Ah, he was before those Tricorp things. This was back in the 30s, where the most advanced thing you could get were those huge ugly DuoCo ones made in England. The Hydrocopticmarsel Vanes were HUGE in those days, so big that there was no room for Cardinal Grammeters behind the Ambivalent Wane-Shaft. So the Grammeters were small, and that meant that if you wanted enough power for the Boloid, they couldn't have a casing. Of course, this led to them losing synchronisation multiple times a day, but the solid iron Panametric Fam would keep going if you could just flip the flux switch in time, hence it being a scut job for a junior technician.
@@pavarottiaardvark3431 Oh man! I forgot about the DuoCo machines! I remember seeing one of those beasts on a site inspection in 1992. It was defunct, and being prepared for scrapping. The whole team couldn't figure out why it had to be so big! Thanks for the clarification. Is it true that they're still being used in China?
@@LordSandwichII Ah, the China thing is sort of true. They still use the base-plates of the old DuoCo machines, because the fabricated amularite is so heavy, might as well re-use it. But inside there's almost nothing of the old DuoCo things (consider that China uses a different gauge for Unilateral Phase Detraction, no incentive to keep it). It was actually a big deal in China when they were finally able to use home-produced Lunar Wane Shafts, because previously their manufacturing wasn't high-quality enough to ensure there would be no side-fumbling. Honestly, I think in a few years all our Differential Girdle Springs will be made in China.
The squeaking hinges are actually a very deliberate part of the design - it's an auditory remonstrance to indicate to the operator that the maintaining defence doors are either open, ajar or closed. A vital safety protocol.
Moreover, the encabulation resonance is fork tuned within tolerance of known levels to its deployment housing. Keen operators will recognize the waveform broadcast at 160 decaflops.
To achieve that specific squeak wasn’t easy either. I read they used custom harmonic differential wave couplers, that when exposed to latent nitride aerosol in a hermetic hyperbaric chamber, it allowed them to tune the squeak to sub-resonant capillary frequencies, quite amazing when you think about it! #Science
I could watch a few hours long explanation on the topic, it went by way too quickly... I actually spent a few months thinking that my dissertation could be on sinusoidal deplanararion prevention, all before realizing that my research was unable to produce results.
@@sickdawg22 The drawn reciprocation dingle arm doesn't actually directly inhibit sinusoidal deplanararion, it just offsets the quarter-phase decalcification of the incoming threshold capacitors, which in turn refills both spring tanks allowing the deplanararion to self-right in a semi-aquatic magneto heat current, this is why the drawn reciprocation dingle arm is always at 45° to the base plate's modulus coplanar interference mesh.
Last time I watched this, I was in Junior High, this time I'm a 3rd year Electrical Engineering student and now able to truly appreciate this technology.
I too learned of this amazing invention as a young electrical engineering student at Penn state in 1988. Now some 30 odd years later they have models that are both 10k times larger and 10k smaller. Plus NOW they always know where they are at because it takes itself with it where ever they fly! 😅 Good engineering choice my brother. God bless.
"The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzlevanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented."
Yeah, they really take Milford Trunnions for granted. I tried telling the kids around the neighborhood they need to take some reverence of how smooth their dingle arms reciprocate, but the judge said I cant do that anymore......court order.😒
@@zombieregime kids these days probably don’t even know where their dingle arms are located. all they talk about is the new photostatus analog casing that seamounts the base plate. After they got rid of the logarithmic casing it’s all they care about.
@@zombieregime Peechin to the choir man I feel ya. Those things barely have any flex these days because they make them with a semi-slotted girdle mold instead of a full slotted mold. Complete bullshit.
this is obviously far superior than the last one! do you know how much Sinal soil deplonoration I had to deal with? I'd rather open the prefamulated emulite casing to get to the ambat facias lunar waneshaft on this one than get stuck finding the compartment with the sperving bearrings on the old one... Just saying
I watch this once every few years, and by the time he gets to "differential girdle spring" I'm nearly in tears. See you guys next time YT decides to remind me of this gem!
This is the older version; they've since upgraded to three-phase reluctance drive along with silicon carbide rectification in the secondary power stage. Parasitic capacitance with anti-snubbing topologies and type 4 closed loop compensation architecture improves relative phase margins without right half plane zeros. No transfer functions are required for stabilization.
But what about the orthometric reverse-field stabilizers? They are supposed to effectively normalize the transient induction losses through the wane shafts. It was supposed to repolarize the entire stator flux field that is in sync with the array; and with zero-delineation from the panametric fam's main drive.
Yes, but these revolutionary machines put me out of work. The manual encabulating industry has been completely decimated! I'm retraining into crypto doci-mechanics, though.
Back in the day, we used to do manual encabulation techniques to achieve a mere 3% of the efficiency of the Rockwell unit. When they solved the side fumbling issue, I knew nothing would ever be the same. These devices truly changed the world and they will never be topped.
When I was young, encabulation was all done by hand (usually by college-aged women). I remember the first pin-box encabulators; they really changed the game! Always fascinating to see how far we've come in such a short time.
I guess it must have been a real nightmare preventing side fumbling with all those ladies around. Surprised much encabulation got done at all back then.
I'm still in awe of the fact that they rectified the notoriously confounding, at-one-time-ubiquitous limitations manifested by the close proximity of the quadratronic trexlinators when juxtaposed with the primary encabulatory node (i.e. poor-quality encabulation, loud whirring, etc.). These guys are the real deal!
I'm just glad this unit comes with girdle springs and dingle arms because we were really struggling with too much sinusodial depleteration. we tried to get those two components in the previous model but we're unsuccessful as they were still under development so we had to make due without those. it was a real challenge, I'll tell ya.
@@B-System That's what makes it so good :) Tiny words (and in this case a term) in themselves could be correct. I'm still at a loss though how to deplanarate my sinusoidal signal.
Best version of this chestnut. Pacing, earnestness, gestures and he flips a switch and a thing starts spinning real fast! The actor and production team on this just nailed it. They deserve credit.
This is the best version of it... I really love the props. I had no idea it was an old chestnut - but I've been running into them all over TH-cam, and I see it's been around for a while.
And Rockwell, the absolutely real multibillion dollar company known for making industrial control panels and the like... Apparently this was a de-stressing project for their real engineers, they pretty much just got to play Legos for a few months with random electronics lol. And a fun and creative approach from a really old company.
I work in building automation and yes, the jargon gets deep. My co worker showed me this years ago when I was just starting out and sometimes I’ll be sitting in a training for new equipment as some company representative it prattling on about their new product and think of this.🙂
Nah, it doesn't undermine the message, it just reinforces that this is a piece of Serious Industrial Equipment where the functionality is the only concern, and feel-good stuff like silent hinges on service panels are irrelevant.

I watched it out of sheer curiosity, the squeaking hinges made me laugh, I wondered how many takes he needed to get through all that jargon seamlessly. I now know it’s not a real product and the video is a joke, but man, as a short presentation… it still slaps. Just three cameras, a fancy cabinet with doodads, and a dude that’s keeping it as cool as a cucumber.🫡
Man i come back to this video like once a year since like 2010 and it never loses an ounce of hilarity. This might be my all time favorite TH-cam video.
I'm a professor at Harvard University, capacitive deractence is my area of expertise, I have studied it for 20 years now and given much to the field. Thanks.
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
Easy peasy...recalibrate the flux capacitor using (1) ounce of 2-ounce ball bearings (NOT the Chinese kind...they rust!) and 1/3rd quart of 10w-30 weight Pennzoil motor oil....
@@mcannon1964 Does this require half a bearing? That would make it less effective, requiring you to use a logarithmic correction compensator in order to further the exponential derivative of the product.
Just before watching this video I saw a tutorial for job interviews, where they stated the tone of your voice should seem convincing. Then I saw this video and I couldn't agree more. This guy is joking about technical jargon and I almost believed what he's selling
My company did, too. It hasn’t changed the number of injuries that occur on the job, though. I have no doubt this is because some moron tampered with one or more of the six hydrocoptic marzlevanes fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft, which resulted in excessive side fumbling. They’re taking about having stickers put on the sides of all the encabulators that look similar to the ones you see on vending machines showing the person about to get crushed from tipping the machine. That is exact what happens when you get side fumbling.
This sketch was originally done by a British Grad Student in 1944. "The original technical description of the "turbo-encabulator" was written by British graduate student John Hellins Quick (1923-1991). It was published in 1944 by the British Institution of Electrical Engineers Students’ Quarterly Journal "
Too bad the British are too...well...British...to make a slick marketing video like this. This video probably sold more Retro-Encabulators in six months than the British were able to sell in six decades.
@@deusexaethera the British lost their lead in the manufacture of turbo encabulators as a series of post-war governments failed to see the potential in the technology and withheld investment. Sadly the last British manufacturer of encabulators, the nationalised Imperial Encabulator Industries, was shut by the Thatcher government in the eighties.

From what I can tell, this isn't the first time this guy has made this presentation. I'm pretty sure I saw him as a car mechanic in an older version of this, which was Chrysler-themed.
@@frmcf I couldn't find any of the continuity errors that usually come with spliced takes. This appears to have been filmed in a TV studio and "edited" live with a switchboard. I couldn't hear any abrupt cuts in the background noise, his limbs, posture, and even the wrinkles on his suit are all the same across camera changes, not even his breathing is affected by the cuts. He also appears to be reading the script off a teleprompter, as he maintains eye contact with the camera almost the entire time he's speaking, even when making specific hand gestures, so that would indicate he's not memorizing it line by line and shooting that way. I mean I could be wrong, that's just how it looked to me.
@@olsongl Well, obviously ambulite has to be prefabulated as well because the two-phase cast fabulation can only be done in a vacuum coinhibitation environment. So it's an easy mistake to make.
I remember those old malleable logarithmic casings. So glad we have phase integration these days. I sure don't miss having to reset the pulse emulated whirlygig reflex buffer every time you had a null exponent on the chemical bypass stack register. I do miss those old school dingle arms though.
old tech... I now use the advanced version of the splatonic defurminizer in conjunction with the sonic defrackulator... It works wonders with my lunar wayne shaft!
Back in my day the single phase rent modulators were powered by the malleable logarithmic casing via direct induction from the lotus luxor coomba rotors.
Lucky you. The phase integration capabilities were not kind to me. Every time I attempted to run retroactive ectoplasmic oscillation procedures, they performed directly in conjunction with the gluconic preambulent bi-atomic waveforms that prolonged the side fumbling sequences. I still employ the malleable logarithmic casings to this day, not only are they convenient for effectively barricading gluconic waveforms, but also encapsulating the y-73 sub-annulled isotope sequences that identify any disposable viaxium jellies.
It's crazy to see that the reciprocated drawn dinglearm is still the best solution for reducing sinusoidal depleneration. Rockwell was ahead of it’s time.
I sent this to my dad with the caption "How parents must feel when their kids try to teach them how to use computers." He replied back "We use these at work!" and went on to talk about how he understands pretty much everything this guy is talking about and how it's an awesome product.
@@nunyabizness3890 he was totally serious! He does a lot of programming with large machinery and was actually the one who taught me all about computers. The sentiment would hold completely true with my mom though, I feel like I'm speaking in a foreign language when I'm telling her how to use Microsoft word.
The beauty here is that the first 30 seconds actually uses enough real technical words, and even describes a few real systems, albeit in roundabout ways. It uses just enough real technical words that you can think you just don't know a word, but will learn/interpret it later.
Back in 2010 I found a working second-generation retro encabulator in an old panametric repulsion office building that had been slated for destruction! It was once Reliance Electric's largest harmonic cardinoidal prefabrication facility, in Las Vermonas, CA. I used to walk past the building to get to the GRV matrix precipitator in San Guntero and you could hear the original semi-phemorial biforcation mounts struggling against the old temburnal pins in the ancillary tower. This was even before Rockwell first introduced fitted amulite casings, so the sperving bearings had no way to run directly to the panametrics. Eventually Rockwell nailed down IR current and the new phase detractors could finally sync not only ordinal, but also CARDINAL grammeters, and they opened a brand new facility in New Hornship across from Roosevelt Air Base, and the Las Vermonas drawn reciprocation building was shuttered along with the panametric repulsion division.
after an improperly maintained retro encabulator has its flange-mounted halving unit break loose leading to a multi-pitzel flux cascade, accelerating one of the trendle units right through your head, causing your untimely death? @@lobsterfork
The start of the cardinal grammeter era was a revolutionary moment in the encabulation industry, and the world is better off for it. And yet, I can't deny that I sort of miss the pre-cardinal era. There was something peaceful and relaxing-- almost zen-like, really-- about listening to the old semi-phemorial biforcation mounts slugging it out against the temburnal pins while encabulating the panametry. It was a sort of yin and yang thing, a reminder that in nature, forces that seem to be opposites are often actually complementary, working together as part of a greater whole. I suppose I'm a bit silly to be pondering the philosophical implications of old-school encabulatory technology. But like an old second-generation Reliance Electric retro encabulator, sometimes beauty is something you just stumble across.
The guy’s extremely talented and deserves a lot of credit. This probably took multiple takes and there were likely a lot of flubs, but it’s hard to imagine anyone doing a finer job than this fellow.
it is in-jokes among engineers to sound smarter. Other than turboencabulator, everything he said was actually correct, albeit with technicality namesake put into 11. example, Deltoid configuration: This is actually a triangle-shaped rotor wiring configuration for the motor rotor. Asymptotic logarithmic casing: Fancy way to say rectangular metal box, since the logarithm graph is in the shape of almost 90 degrees. Flux stuff: That's simply the physics that governs how the electrical motor works
I was wondering the same thing. I'm dead serious this guy is the best actor in human history to turn off his sense of humor and deliver the most ridiculous speech ever given and in a single take. There's no way I could ever get to that level of acting in a hundred years
My uncle died in 1975 because of a side fumbling failure. Amazing how they solved that problem and now these things come in a case the size of a Tic Tac box.
Crazy to think how this used to be cutting edge. For reference, only two years after the release of this equipment it was discontinued and replaced with what we call a "Tachyometric Regulator". It does all what that equipment does plus a few more key features (such as Angulatory Delateration and advanced Ion Pulse Control) and it's about the size of your fist. Just goes to show how quickly technology is snowballing.
I still think retroencabulation is a more reliable and functional way to provide deplanaration. Tachyometric regulators, while newer, faster, and more efficient, take too long to program for extracted relactable maring fetters. Retroencabulation, being a simpler process, takes much less time and requires a lot less refractometer calibration. I can't count how many times I've gone to try the new tachyometric regulators and run into Lollar errors.
@@Lakonthegreat My company has provided fully interlined digital insegrevious deltoid units since at least 2016. Transveinal Lollar with full correction. It's not 2000 anymore, geez.
I love this. I've worked on a metric shit-ton of "Industrials" just like this. Industrials being the catch word for training, sales, service, and marketing videos. Back in the day, these were usually distributed on VHS tape before the internet and DVDs became the standard. You can't believe how utterly foreign many of these things sounded. Some made no more sense than this video. I don't recall the name of the talent, but he is definitely perfect for the job. Great video!
Industrials are designed to be understood by people who already know everything being explained and admired by people who wish they knew anything being explained.
I strongly suspect that OP works for Milford Trunnions, where I hear that side-fumbling in the dingle arm remains a significant operational issue. Don't believe the hype.
I’ve found an average of 100% effectiveness nearly 60% of the time. Having said this, don’t connect a warbled articulating brandle dispenser without first measuring the xyrexian mode triangularity. It’s common sense to be honest.
Watching this today for the hundredth time I noticed something that never occurred to me before. The presenter's outfit harmonises perfectly with the set--the plain mid-grey suit matches the machine casing, the light blue shirt goes with the back wall and the pattern on his tie reflects the fiddly bits like the dials and switches. So he blends in and his appearance doesn't detract from the message.
I just love how they cut to his hands when he demonstrates the motion or angles of what he's discussing. Like that further drives the point home! Epic technical jargon video !!
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
I used to work for Rockwell automation. I was an engineer who actually helped effectively prevent side fumbling there with this automation control in the video. But we never could figure out the inverse axis dingle arms. So, my job was cut during the second wave of layoffs around the Rockwell gram meter automation program. Delta seven was a hard sector to work in too. I miss my friends there. Great people… I still check in on them from time to time in linkedin and stuff. Anyway. Just a small tale there from my past.
We had side fumbling with our first Lunar Wayne Shaft - dam near tore our Encabulator to shreds. Once we replaced it with the new model demostrated in this video it was nothing but smooth sailing. Now we just sit back and sip on profit cola all day.
I'd love to know how many takes this guy had to do. I've been watching this video for years and I still can't get through it without losing it at some point. I would have never been able to pull it off - this guy did a great job. This video never gets old.
For those who are curious, the device in the film is a MCC panel . MCC stands for 'Motor Control Centre' You can see the start stop buttons on the front and below them are the the Variable Speed Drive HMI panels. I work on these.
While that may be true, it is far less entertaining than sprung-driven cam axis dingle arms simul-casting bi-rotary anti-fraggle pins in a tri-motionary configuration to suppress the techno-drivel verbiage of the predecessary encabulators. Get with the program!
I'm relieved that when fluorescent score motion is required it can be employed in conjunction with the drawn reciprocation dingle arm. Reducing sino-soil deplaneration, of course.
Just to help anyone who doesn't understand this and to simplify. I'd like to add that any magneto output under 14 quarvoids is immediately detract-able under the inverse stealth springs, this would link side-fumbling to a reactive logarithmic withholding of the belly-famultor and the end pins in the leaf-engurmulon. Thus causing the dingle arm to limp-shaft and the output to flim- flap. Basically the overpolarization is prevented by the seperate windings of the foscatulan wired in series with an under-bremulation of the fifth and seventh marzal vanes (not just the seventh) The phase pin firing time has to be bypassed by under-grammelling the coil windings in the squim-meter and over-bearing the noids. In a case like this anything under a reading of 16 parvuels will loosen the dingle arm and create more side-fumbling, and nobody wants that!
+jimmypinch I'm really glad to see your explicit acknowledgement that the under-bremulation of the marzal vanes is not limited to just the seventh. This is a widely misunderstood point in need of correction. C'mon, people -- this isn't rocket science!

How have I missed this for so long? I was around then, got to watch a few of those product videos where you have no idea what they are talking about - thinking mini computers here, PDPs, multplexors etc.. he's got that voice to a T. This is probably the greatest spoof ever. Genius.
It was so nice for the baseplate to come pre-famulated. There was a time not too long ago when famulated amulite was a custom option you had to arrange with the manufacturer.
I agree totally, and famulating virgin amulite is a frustrating process at the best of times - especially when the interdependent reactance and side fumbling fulminance of the hydrocoptics have not yet established in a brand new instrument undergoing shakedown. I imagine back then it was seen as a way of reducing outgoing vendor costs for support engineering when commissioning, since it stopped those pesky call outs for damage to the logarithmic casing caused by an unreticulated dingle arm during the famulation cycle.
I remember the days when we still had to worry about over torquing the bindle rotor forcing a need to replace the pinkney flange. Never again What a time to be alive.
I was so lost when I watched this a decade ago. Now I actually work with Rockwell, and they are one of my favorite clients. I've fortunately never had to deal with side fumbling but by colleagues have horror stories about previous versions which used conductors and fluxes. The consistent and reliable magnetoreluctance is why we rely on Rockwell products.
This is easily the best version, in my opinion. I honestly think this is either a professionally produced training or demonstration video for presenters (I know people say it's just one of several iterations of the "turbo encabulator" meme), but the production value is so much higher and this guy literally sells it... I mean, I still have no idea what it does, but this guy has me convinced that it does it well and I probably need one..... Just look at that fucking thing!!!
That must have been amazing! I'm so envious. All said, I did see a demo at a tradeshow, but it was behind a Perspex shield in case there was a breach in the Flimflam Knobulator shielding because it can exceed 12,000 RPM. (Rambulations Per Minion.)
So often I feel left behind by the blinding speed of technological improvements, but this young man explains it all so well! He reminds me of my nephew🤗
I miss the old days, when it took a room full of encabulators to perform what can now be done with a pocket sized unit.

@@francescaa8331 vertical fumbling is prevented by the magtropic feilds which are a natural result from discombobulation of the girdle springs. To guarantee minimal vertical fumbling, id have to explain how the metronidazoid layers are formed and why diselectronification makes it impossible

Rockwell doesn't make their own enclosures. They purchase pre-fab enclosures and install their controllers.

The spurving bearings couldn't handle the panometric load and they shattered. Killed him instantly.

Oh man that must be like heaven. I am still saving for my first. I've read that the new repeterator increased the power outlet of the discomobulator 10 fold. I can't wait to get mine.
The price has come down dramatically, and while they may be considered obsolete amongst industry experts, they still offer the best encabulating bang for your buck.
I am currently not able to get one. I was told that there is a shortage of normally open fuses.
I inherited a retro encabulator from a distant relative and no idea what the darned thing did. Silly me I junked it, only to find out now it was a very high tech piece of equipment!

Must be all that magneto reluctance
What's really incredible about this product is the fact that it completely eliminates heat waste due to carbomatic dingleflops.
It's wild to think that, up until the relatively recent past, we had no idea that by simply trilestifying an argon beam with 9,000 hydro-largs of kensiom we could carbomate a dingleswitch from flip to flop. Rockwell truly brought American engineering into the 21st century.
@@rossvolkmann1161 you mean 8,000 hyro-largs, lol.
You clearly aren't well read into argon beamonomics. Everything else you said was spot on. Bravo!!
Even more impressive, Rockwell was actually being a bit conservative in their presentation. For example, I've read that in about 40% of cases the encabulator could even eliminate a significant amount of heat waste in NON-carbomatic flops as well.
The early serial numbered encabulators were prone to a lot of side fumbling though.
my company bought a few of these to provide magnetoreluctant flux power to another piece of RF machinery, and the power delivery was terrible -- side fumbling, some phase detractance, not to mention the terrible noise.
turns out it was a factory defect! They have so few of them that we got a personal apology from the CEO, and he oversaw the delivery of a whole new encabulator! Apparently the rest of the batch was recalled too.
@@cd-zw2tt I believe that was an issue with multiple units at one point.
My grandad used to tell stories of the pre-automation days. When he was my age he worked on a machine that produced inverse reactive current. His first ever job was getting paid a dime for each time he synchronized the cardinal grammeters. It's amazing to think that these machines now do it automatically.
@Adrian Vegas Be careful whose dingle arms you tap, IMO
I find that highly suspect. I worked during the transition phase to automatic, and we never had to synchronize the grams more often than every 75 operational hours, or 200,000 complete cycles. We had 12 manual encabulators on the main floor and all of them would lose synchronization at different times. The units were all the hopelessly designed Tricorp units with those absolutely awful idea of having the grammeters enclosed in a separate chamber of the amulet casing. It was a full 7 hour job to remove them. Nevertheless, It was part of our contract, not something we were paid for separately. So unless your gramps was doing other things during that time, I don't see how he could be paid so little for that job.
@@LordSandwichII Ah, he was before those Tricorp things. This was back in the 30s, where the most advanced thing you could get were those huge ugly DuoCo ones made in England. The Hydrocopticmarsel Vanes were HUGE in those days, so big that there was no room for Cardinal Grammeters behind the Ambivalent Wane-Shaft. So the Grammeters were small, and that meant that if you wanted enough power for the Boloid, they couldn't have a casing. Of course, this led to them losing synchronisation multiple times a day, but the solid iron Panametric Fam would keep going if you could just flip the flux switch in time, hence it being a scut job for a junior technician.
@@pavarottiaardvark3431 Oh man! I forgot about the DuoCo machines! I remember seeing one of those beasts on a site inspection in 1992. It was defunct, and being prepared for scrapping. The whole team couldn't figure out why it had to be so big! Thanks for the clarification. Is it true that they're still being used in China?
@@LordSandwichII Ah, the China thing is sort of true. They still use the base-plates of the old DuoCo machines, because the fabricated amularite is so heavy, might as well re-use it. But inside there's almost nothing of the old DuoCo things (consider that China uses a different gauge for Unilateral Phase Detraction, no incentive to keep it). It was actually a big deal in China when they were finally able to use home-produced Lunar Wane Shafts, because previously their manufacturing wasn't high-quality enough to ensure there would be no side-fumbling. Honestly, I think in a few years all our Differential Girdle Springs will be made in China.
The squeaking hinges are actually a very deliberate part of the design - it's an auditory remonstrance to indicate to the operator that the maintaining defence doors are either open, ajar or closed. A vital safety protocol.
They also alert nearby personnel that the mechanical operations panel covering safety device is in motion. As you said, absolutely vital.
Moreover, the encabulation resonance is fork tuned within tolerance of known levels to its deployment housing. Keen operators will recognize the waveform broadcast at 160 decaflops.
To achieve that specific squeak wasn’t easy either. I read they used custom harmonic differential wave couplers, that when exposed to latent nitride aerosol in a hermetic hyperbaric chamber, it allowed them to tune the squeak to sub-resonant capillary frequencies, quite amazing when you think about it! #Science

@@phillyphakename1255 That's probably because only Rockwell was able to figure it out and nobody else. Truly gods amongst men.
I do consider my self inspired.
whoever thought to use a drawn reciprocation dingle arm deserves a promotion!
@@sickdawg22 The drawn reciprocation dingle arm doesn't actually directly inhibit sinusoidal deplanararion, it just offsets the quarter-phase decalcification of the incoming threshold capacitors, which in turn refills both spring tanks allowing the deplanararion to self-right in a semi-aquatic magneto heat current, this is why the drawn reciprocation dingle arm is always at 45° to the base plate's modulus coplanar interference mesh.

Me too.
There’s a sequel now and it’s great
I stopped laughing years ago. Now Im trying to decipher it.
Mine is the "drawn reciprocation dingle arm"
This is the older version; they've since upgraded to three-phase reluctance drive along with silicon carbide rectification in the secondary power stage. Parasitic capacitance with anti-snubbing topologies and type 4 closed loop compensation architecture improves relative phase margins without right half plane zeros. No transfer functions are required for stabilization.
Transfer functions are only required if snubbing topography is partially reversed along the reminulitive flow
…. Obviously
I'm looking forward to the upgrade, I think?
I came here to post this
But what about the orthometric reverse-field stabilizers? They are supposed to effectively normalize the transient induction losses through the wane shafts. It was supposed to repolarize the entire stator flux field that is in sync with the array; and with zero-delineation from the panametric fam's main drive.
This comment did not age well. The 2021.v7 units come with optional semi-automatic stabilization transfer functions for seasonal algorithm balancing.

Back in the day, we used to do manual encabulation techniques to achieve a mere 3% of the efficiency of the Rockwell unit. When they solved the side fumbling issue, I knew nothing would ever be the same. These devices truly changed the world and they will never be topped.
When I was young, encabulation was all done by hand (usually by college-aged women). I remember the first pin-box encabulators; they really changed the game! Always fascinating to see how far we've come in such a short time.
I guess it must have been a real nightmare preventing side fumbling with all those ladies around. Surprised much encabulation got done at all back then.
😂
@pfpublius not much more than the first guy doin it himself one by one
These new encabulators cause autism. I have all my encabulation done by a local craft-encabulator.
@drworm5007 ah yes where they throw away only but the nicest pins
I'm still in awe of the fact that they rectified the notoriously confounding, at-one-time-ubiquitous limitations manifested by the close proximity of the quadratronic trexlinators when juxtaposed with the primary encabulatory node (i.e. poor-quality encabulation, loud whirring, etc.). These guys are the real deal!
And yet they did all this and still managed to affectively prevent side fumbling.
Really makes you wonder how they prevented any form of side fumbling from occuring. Genius
Differential girdle springs are the mark of a rank amateur.
I'm just glad this unit comes with girdle springs and dingle arms because we were really struggling with too much sinusodial depleteration. we tried to get those two components in the previous model but we're unsuccessful as they were still under development so we had to make due without those. it was a real challenge, I'll tell ya.

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
Or just use the absolute value of the difference in derivitives of the space in which it used to occupy vs. the space in which it is in now?

I mean I could be wrong, that's just how it looked to me.
My dad was a encabulator operator 1991-2022. It's cool to finally see a video that clearly explains what he was doing all those years.
I feel like ive just had a stroke
TheBackyardScientist good
Ahaha
OMG, that's the best response I've ever seen to any version of the Encabulator (and this one is a re-make of a much earlier version)

Yeah. I smelled burnt toast about 30 seconds into this.
Prefabulated ambulite is very VERY expensive and difficult to work with. The innovation at Rockwall Automation was unmatched for its time.
its that kind of forward thinking that allows you to cement your place in the market. Its why Rockwell is a household name now.
Thankfully the greater availability of post fabulated ambulite greatly reduces the costs nowadays
It's prefamulated amulite. You obviously know nothing about encabulator baseplates.
@@olsongl Well, obviously ambulite has to be prefabulated as well because the two-phase cast fabulation can only be done in a vacuum coinhibitation environment. So it's an easy mistake to make.
Chrysler learned how to make them from an alloy of Lithuanium and Plebiscite. That drove Rockwell into bankruptcy.
I remember those old malleable logarithmic casings. So glad we have phase integration these days. I sure don't miss having to reset the pulse emulated whirlygig reflex buffer every time you had a null exponent on the chemical bypass stack register. I do miss those old school dingle arms though.
There's no completely getting past the side fumbling in any retroencabulators though
old tech... I now use the advanced version of the splatonic defurminizer in conjunction with the sonic defrackulator... It works wonders with my lunar wayne shaft!
they still struggle with the eccentric load to the discombobulator
Back in my day the single phase rent modulators were powered by the malleable logarithmic casing via direct induction from the lotus luxor coomba rotors.
Lucky you.
The phase integration capabilities were not kind to me. Every time I attempted to run retroactive ectoplasmic oscillation procedures, they performed directly in conjunction with the gluconic preambulent bi-atomic waveforms that prolonged the side fumbling sequences. I still employ the malleable logarithmic casings to this day, not only are they convenient for effectively barricading gluconic waveforms, but also encapsulating the y-73 sub-annulled isotope sequences that identify any disposable viaxium jellies.
2024 and still top of the line. The R&D that went in to this is still ahead of it's time.
It's crazy to see that the reciprocated drawn dinglearm is still the best solution for reducing sinusoidal depleneration. Rockwell was ahead of it’s time.
I sent this to my dad with the caption "How parents must feel when their kids try to teach them how to use computers."
He replied back "We use these at work!" and went on to talk about how he understands pretty much everything this guy is talking about and how it's an awesome product.

Was he serious, or pulling your leg?
@@nunyabizness3890 he was totally serious! He does a lot of programming with large machinery and was actually the one who taught me all about computers. The sentiment would hold completely true with my mom though, I feel like I'm speaking in a foreign language when I'm telling her how to use Microsoft word.
I can't believe they locked down the side-fumbling issue.
They added a Finnigan(tm) pin. Solved it immediately.
I always just used duct tape.
The beauty here is that the first 30 seconds actually uses enough real technical words, and even describes a few real systems, albeit in roundabout ways. It uses just enough real technical words that you can think you just don't know a word, but will learn/interpret it later.
Back in 2010 I found a working second-generation retro encabulator in an old panametric repulsion office building that had been slated for destruction! It was once Reliance Electric's largest harmonic cardinoidal prefabrication facility, in Las Vermonas, CA. I used to walk past the building to get to the GRV matrix precipitator in San Guntero and you could hear the original semi-phemorial biforcation mounts struggling against the old temburnal pins in the ancillary tower. This was even before Rockwell first introduced fitted amulite casings, so the sperving bearings had no way to run directly to the panametrics.
Eventually Rockwell nailed down IR current and the new phase detractors could finally sync not only ordinal, but also CARDINAL grammeters, and they opened a brand new facility in New Hornship across from Roosevelt Air Base, and the Las Vermonas drawn reciprocation building was shuttered along with the panametric repulsion division.
Andrew also plays with words. Quite well. :)
I want this comment read allowed at my funeral.
after an improperly maintained retro encabulator has its flange-mounted halving unit break loose leading to a multi-pitzel flux cascade, accelerating one of the trendle units right through your head, causing your untimely death? @@lobsterfork
The start of the cardinal grammeter era was a revolutionary moment in the encabulation industry, and the world is better off for it. And yet, I can't deny that I sort of miss the pre-cardinal era. There was something peaceful and relaxing-- almost zen-like, really-- about listening to the old semi-phemorial biforcation mounts slugging it out against the temburnal pins while encabulating the panametry. It was a sort of yin and yang thing, a reminder that in nature, forces that seem to be opposites are often actually complementary, working together as part of a greater whole. I suppose I'm a bit silly to be pondering the philosophical implications of old-school encabulatory technology. But like an old second-generation Reliance Electric retro encabulator, sometimes beauty is something you just stumble across.
Unfortunately, after all those years, I am still getting side fumbling when mounting up my encabulator, I thought they had fixed that!
That reciprocated drawn dingle arm was a great addition, completely prevents excessive rototweebulation in the transverse mounted cycloid converters.
@Barsaviuslisten the the part about the unilateral phase detractors again, it explains everything
I have watched this 100+ times. I always laugh out loud. How he does it with a straight face is beyond my funny ability. Priceless and Timeless
The guy’s extremely talented and deserves a lot of credit. This probably took multiple takes and there were likely a lot of flubs, but it’s hard to imagine anyone doing a finer job than this fellow.
I wanna know how he pronounced it all. I’m good at that, but I’d have a hard time, here 😄
it is in-jokes among engineers to sound smarter. Other than turboencabulator, everything he said was actually correct, albeit with technicality namesake put into 11.
example, Deltoid configuration: This is actually a triangle-shaped rotor wiring configuration for the motor rotor.
Asymptotic logarithmic casing: Fancy way to say rectangular metal box, since the logarithm graph is in the shape of almost 90 degrees.
Flux stuff: That's simply the physics that governs how the electrical motor works
@@mickolesmana5899plus all the real brands for the parts and stuff. Really threw me the first time I saw this.
I was wondering the same thing. I'm dead serious this guy is the best actor in human history to turn off his sense of humor and deliver the most ridiculous speech ever given and in a single take. There's no way I could ever get to that level of acting in a hundred years
My uncle died in 1975 because of a side fumbling failure. Amazing how they solved that problem and now these things come in a case the size of a Tic Tac box.
Crazy to think how this used to be cutting edge. For reference, only two years after the release of this equipment it was discontinued and replaced with what we call a "Tachyometric Regulator". It does all what that equipment does plus a few more key features (such as Angulatory Delateration and advanced Ion Pulse Control) and it's about the size of your fist.
Just goes to show how quickly technology is snowballing.
You're committing a crime against humanity. Stop it.
I still think retroencabulation is a more reliable and functional way to provide deplanaration. Tachyometric regulators, while newer, faster, and more efficient, take too long to program for extracted relactable maring fetters. Retroencabulation, being a simpler process, takes much less time and requires a lot less refractometer calibration. I can't count how many times I've gone to try the new tachyometric regulators and run into Lollar errors.
We’re in the 37th fold
*pft, You tech people and your made up terms.... "snowballing". I aint ever.
@@Lakonthegreat My company has provided fully interlined digital insegrevious deltoid units since at least 2016. Transveinal Lollar with full correction. It's not 2000 anymore, geez.
I love this. I've worked on a metric shit-ton of "Industrials" just like this. Industrials being the catch word for training, sales, service, and marketing videos. Back in the day, these were usually distributed on VHS tape before the internet and DVDs became the standard. You can't believe how utterly foreign many of these things sounded. Some made no more sense than this video.
I don't recall the name of the talent, but he is definitely perfect for the job.
Great video!
Industrials are designed to be understood by people who already know everything being explained and admired by people who wish they knew anything being explained.
He doesn't work well explaining to strangers whatsoever
We are a customer of Rockwell Retro Encabulator and use it every day. It is an amazing product. Reliable and consistently consistent!
8dioproductions but if it was inconsistent then it would be consistently inconsistant which is consistency in itself.
Is it for HV Racking?
I strongly suspect that OP works for Milford Trunnions, where I hear that side-fumbling in the dingle arm remains a significant operational issue. Don't believe the hype.
the gurdle springs squeek too much, though
I’ve found an average of 100% effectiveness nearly 60% of the time. Having said this, don’t connect a warbled articulating brandle dispenser without first measuring the xyrexian mode triangularity. It’s common sense to be honest.
Watching this today for the hundredth time I noticed something that never occurred to me before. The presenter's outfit harmonises perfectly with the set--the plain mid-grey suit matches the machine casing, the light blue shirt goes with the back wall and the pattern on his tie reflects the fiddly bits like the dials and switches. So he blends in and his appearance doesn't detract from the message.
I love how hes presenting a long convoluted explanation of multiple electrical cabinets just to run a 12 W starter motor...

When you talk to a Linux user
BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!
I was literally just about to make a meme about this
Whereas, when you're talking to a Windows user: "Are you sure it's turned on?"
hi
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
State-of-the-art techno-babble writing and performance.
Aaaah, differential girdle springs! I'd never have thought of using those! Ingenious!
I used to work for Rockwell automation.
I was an engineer who actually helped effectively prevent side fumbling there with this automation control in the video.
But we never could figure out the inverse axis dingle arms. So, my job was cut during the second wave of layoffs around the Rockwell gram meter automation program. Delta seven was a hard sector to work in too.
I miss my friends there. Great people… I still check in on them from time to time in linkedin and stuff.
Anyway. Just a small tale there from my past.
I call bull, side fumbling was never an issue with the lunar wayne shaft
We had side fumbling with our first Lunar Wayne Shaft - dam near tore our Encabulator to shreds. Once we replaced it with the new model demostrated in this video it was nothing but smooth sailing. Now we just sit back and sip on profit cola all day.
Or at playtime at night when you're bored.

Thank you for highlighting the magneto relictants and capacitive deractants. No one ever covers those.
that's right! they NEVER EVER cover those. not once EVER! jerks
Guess it's that time of the year for TH-cam to recommend this to me again. Time - yet again - well spent.
For those who are curious, the device in the film is a MCC panel . MCC stands for 'Motor Control Centre'
You can see the start stop buttons on the front and below them are the the Variable Speed Drive HMI panels.
I work on these.
While that may be true, it is far less entertaining than sprung-driven cam axis dingle arms simul-casting bi-rotary anti-fraggle pins in a tri-motionary configuration to suppress the techno-drivel verbiage of the predecessary encabulators. Get with the program!
And on top of that, all those companies he mentioned do exist and sell what he said haha, I would have loved to see their reactions lol
We actually use Rockwell Automation at my work. It is an MCC center, his speech is gibberish from a GM transmission from the 70's.

I'm relieved that when fluorescent score motion is required it can be employed in conjunction with the drawn reciprocation dingle arm. Reducing sino-soil deplaneration, of course.
Absolutely unreal that they fixed the side fumbling 15 years ago, i love coming back to this video
Just to help anyone who doesn't understand this and to simplify. I'd like to add that any magneto output under 14 quarvoids is immediately detract-able under the inverse stealth springs, this would link side-fumbling to a reactive logarithmic withholding of the belly-famultor and the end pins in the leaf-engurmulon. Thus causing the dingle arm to limp-shaft and the output to flim- flap. Basically the overpolarization is prevented by the seperate windings of the foscatulan wired in series with an under-bremulation of the fifth and seventh marzal vanes (not just the seventh) The phase pin firing time has to be bypassed by under-grammelling the coil windings in the squim-meter and over-bearing the noids. In a case like this anything under a reading of 16 parvuels will loosen the dingle arm and create more side-fumbling, and nobody wants that!
thanks that really cleared it up for me
my pleasure
+jimmypinch I know nothing about electricity so I don't know if you're being serious or sarcastic .
+jimmypinch I'm really glad to see your explicit acknowledgement that the under-bremulation of the marzal vanes is not limited to just the seventh. This is a widely misunderstood point in need of correction. C'mon, people -- this isn't rocket science!
+jimmypinch What about Sidal Soil Deplantoration? this is a big deal

It was so nice for the baseplate to come pre-famulated. There was a time not too long ago when famulated amulite was a custom option you had to arrange with the manufacturer.
I agree totally, and famulating virgin amulite is a frustrating process at the best of times - especially when the interdependent reactance and side fumbling fulminance of the hydrocoptics have not yet established in a brand new instrument undergoing shakedown. I imagine back then it was seen as a way of reducing outgoing vendor costs for support engineering when commissioning, since it stopped those pesky call outs for damage to the logarithmic casing caused by an unreticulated dingle arm during the famulation cycle.

I remember the days when we still had to worry about over torquing the bindle rotor forcing a need to replace the pinkney flange. Never again What a time to be alive.
Oh the humanity.
I was so lost when I watched this a decade ago. Now I actually work with Rockwell, and they are one of my favorite clients. I've fortunately never had to deal with side fumbling but by colleagues have horror stories about previous versions which used conductors and fluxes. The consistent and reliable magnetoreluctance is why we rely on Rockwell products.
This is easily the best version, in my opinion. I honestly think this is either a professionally produced training or demonstration video for presenters (I know people say it's just one of several iterations of the "turbo encabulator" meme), but the production value is so much higher and this guy literally sells it... I mean, I still have no idea what it does, but this guy has me convinced that it does it well and I probably need one..... Just look at that fucking thing!!!
We were part of the Milford trunion pilot program. Recouped all the gerford flanions at full escape bastions. Quite remarkable to have seen in person.
That must have been amazing! I'm so envious. All said, I did see a demo at a tradeshow, but it was behind a Perspex shield in case there was a breach in the Flimflam Knobulator shielding because it can exceed 12,000 RPM. (Rambulations Per Minion.)
So often I feel left behind by the blinding speed of technological improvements, but this young man explains it all so well! He reminds me of my nephew🤗

Your nephew might be autistic lol.
When your nephew was....?
I miss the old days, when it took a room full of encabulators to perform what can now be done with a pocket sized unit. The smell of ozone and overheated wiring, the asbestos fibers shedding from the floor and ceiling tiles. The smell of a successful sales pitch. And who doesn't wish we all had to wear those practical, yet stylish pocket protectors and long for an excuse to have a set of designs to courier to the blueprint shop, where that front receptionist was so fetching and enchanting in overlong conversations. Our slide rules never had a blue screen of death and imbued us with a certain aura of protection. Those were the days my boy, nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
