Re: The Audiophoolery Thread.
After that video, Youtoob followed it up with "A history of the turbo encabulator" and in the datasheet for the G-E version I spotted mention of N0-BLO (tm) fuses which fits in nicely with this thread. I wonder what they're filled with?
The history video says it started with an IEE article in the late 1940s, so the turbo encabulator is yet another British invention that the yanks made off with! Still, they made a good job of it and so long as it's *their* government which paid for it....
I should add that 'Smart rocks' and 'brilliant pebbles' were genuine US military ideas. The idea of dropping precision guided masses from orbit to hit someone on the ground. Someone over here seems to have nicked the name.
