See the Wikipedia page, which cites numerous versions all the way back to the 1944 version.

-- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboencabulator

I spent much of the morning watching the various videos cited on that page, the GM version, the Chrysler version, the Rockwell version, and on until the newest ones involving biotechnology and the Internet of things.  The next generation, not yet realized, is a full software implementation of encabulation, using virtual machine technology, demand evaluation, and logic programming, no doubt.  I suspect that the software version will 
generate many megawatts of electric power and it will use virtualized quantum computing.
