It is closely related to the turboencabulator - see 
http://www.turboencabulator.info/GE_Turboencabulator_pg_2.jpg - which is 
based on the principle of power generation by the modial interaction of 
magnetoreluctance and capacitive directance, negating the relative 
motion of conventional conductors and fluxes, as applied to direction 
finding technology.  Briefly, it consistes of a Signal Corps 
Laboratory-developed baseplate of Mulamite drawn from the U. S. Cavalry, 
surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two 
main spurving bearings are aligned with the pentametric fan.  Six 
gyro-controlled marzelvanes are attached to the ambifacient wane shafts 
to prevent internal precession.  Along the top, adjacent to the 
panandermic semi-boloid stator slots, are forty-seven manestically 
spaced grouting brushes, insulated with Glyptal-impregnated, 
cyanoethylated kraft paper bushings.  Each one of these feeds into the 
loop antenna slip stream via the non-reversible differential tremie 
pipes, thus the use of two Type 39 Special pentodes containing a 5% 
solution of reminative Tetraethyliodohexamine, the specific percosity of 
which is given by P=2.5C*n to the 6/7 power, where C is Cholmondeleys 
annular grillage coefficient and n is the diathetical evolute of 
retrograde temperature phase disposition.

That's it in a nutshell.  The link above goes into the principle in much 
greater depth if anyone is interested.
