Allen-Bradley Retro Entabulator

[edsan401]

I bet some of the P.C. boards i made for Allen Bradley was in those unit, I hope there not a recall.

[sparkyrocky12131963]

HOLY ACRONYMS BATMAN.

[insane992]

But can it run crysis?

[jackgvogel]

Hahahahahaaa. Can't wait to show the guys in robotics club.

[jamesrush]

I was going to go to this sales presentation, but my mechanic told me that my car had a bad kidiffel pin and he had to replace the muffler bearing, so I decided to stay home and rewind the ceiling fans, Then i got called into work to fill up the drinking fountains.It was a bad day I even knocked over a bucket of steam.

[solkahn]

does it come in red?

[hitek1]

Wow. I am officially a nerd- engineer humor made me laugh.

[AlienRelics]

4.3Gigawatts?!?

[reprodragon]

i occasionally ingest a semi organic nutrient suspension in a silicon based liquid medium to lubricate my bio-functions....... DATA.... STAR TREK

[Drew927]

this guy is full of shit

The speaker’s explanationhas several errors. The Franklin heliostat kelter tabs have their polarity reversed; all of the back-linked thermocouplings are shown in millimeters, not Troy grains; none of the outer magnetic arcing rings are touching the servo surfaces; and the six-phase windings should be encased in argon cooling tubes, not Xenon cooling tubes.

[silvernail6]

@mallanpete Whew! Thanks almost ordered one.

[csinglepv]

What the hell?



[trondyne]

Mike Kraft does it the best!

[PCMechanic]

At 1:49 he clearly says retro encabulator not retro entabulator. Listen to it closely.

[Darkmind1970]

But. but, what about the quantum enflufflicator matrix? (Sulks)

And how does this guy keep a straight face?

[primehealth]

Surely this design can be improved by adding both an 8-20 Johnson rod and quintoid confabulatrix?

[JVbin]

@primehealth Hmm... I dunno. It already runs on an 8-13 Johnson rod, and manufacturers say it couldn't really upgrade much beyond an 8-15 Johnson, let alone the 8-20 model. And as for the quintoid confabulatrix, it is a good idea in theory. But unfortunately in practice it would require 9 MW of aleuryamic energy to be converted for it to operate on a Retro-Encabulator model and they just can't drive down the costs for the conversion process. Not in this economic climate.

[mcgonickle]

Retro "Encabulator", not "Entabulator"

[pbchrist]

i understood every drop.

[zeppy13131]

Nope. Search "turbo entabulator" here and you'll find the original, which is obviously considerably older than this one. (It's quite a compliment that so many people would emulate it, tho!)

[GumboRon]

BUT CAN IT FIX THE OIL SPILL?

[wyoman100]

@GumboRon Sounds like the perfect Obama fix. All sound and no substance.

[Enfeeblement]

Just look at his lips guys..it's exactly the same as the text. This isn't a voice-over, it's just a good sketch.

[theonlydann]

I see a 1201-HA2, and couple of line reactors, a panelview 900... a DL20... maybe DL40...

[Enfeeblement]

This is so amazingly funny!

[Marlifer]

OMG. I'm an electrician and and instrumentation tech, and he's lost me. Wow.

[brjvideo]

I thought this was how Nortel became a telecommunications giant...

[raksana0]

yeah,, so our current administration puts this to shame

[trackspeedtripod]

Yeah I knew that

[roaringrockets]

A classic of what used to be called "doubletalk." There were professionals in the days of Vaudeville who did a spiel like this as their entire act. The various props here make it much more effective and the deadpan delivery of the announcer is priceless.

[flylowguy]

I can really appreciate that it is being successfully used in the operation of Milford trunnions.

Now THAT'S progress.

[clac911]

hahaha

I never grow tired of this one!

[moztecka]

LOL funny so fake.

[nippyella]

I think my dingle arm broke.

[tonalpainting]

What? No Kanutin Valve?!

[seq165432]

Ok, ok... after seeing the "Turbo Encabulator" video I'm 100% convinced that THIS is a voice-over.

[hidnshadows]

No, just uses the same script. ITS TOO NEW TO BE THE ORIGINAL!!

[seq165432]

But you're certain it's not actually a real, legitimate promotional or instructive video with a voice over "Turbo Encabulator" script applied?

That's what I think it is.

Having worked in this field, I'm pretty sure the equipment was from 1988, (give or take a year). I may have even seen the original.

To me, his lips dont seem to synchronize.

[hidnshadows]

I mean, the Retro encabulator script/original video is too old for this to be the original. This is not the first video with this script, i think it is the third. The video is probably an actual product demonstration with someone reading a script over it. also, My dad who worked in the GM training center and showed the original video, thought that the original vid was made in '83

[seq165432]

Yeah, I agree. I think the whole "turbo encabulator" farce might have originated as early as the 70's. It's been redone time and time again. I've seen three or four here on youtube.

[pdxtosca]

Should I order the one with the Heisenberg Compensator unit? Or with a limited budget, is Fizzbin compatibility more critical?

[rossloeb]

I've always been a liitle uncertain about Heisenberg.

[Nomasain]

To bad it lacks reverse compatibility.

[madamezolar]

My grandmother got one of these as a knee replacement; you ought to see her go from zero to sixty in 3 seconds. Long live science!

[ControlWizard]

They must be taking the piss! Still brilliant though.

[skoorbevad]

..Is that Chris Hansen? From Dateline NBC?

[Broomballwilson]

No, it's some guy who does these corporate videos as part of his job. My friend works with him and just sent me this link. His name is Mike Kraft and if you go to Lowes website and click on 'project and video center' there he is in the mian page video.

[DariusFranke]

does anyone know the origin of this text? Someone commented about the Chrysler video that the text was from the 1920's???

[rossloeb]

Wikipedia has what seems like a good history of this back to 1946 go to wikipedia and search for "Turboencabulator"

for the full story.

1/4 decay ratio curve

[nostradamuszen]

Excellent response to Steorm's 'time variant magneto-mechanical interactions'. And equally credible.

[stinger325]

The knee bones connected to the articulator plenum, the plenum is connect to the magneto flux- accentuator, the accentuator is connected to the reluctance flaccid conjunctive potentiometer and thats what its all about! (Raspberry noise)

[jgoalpost]

possibly every techno-jargon word you can find, or make up, is in there.

[dpark76]

Is that guy speaking English? ha ha ha. :)
