Cosmic Gyro Relativator

As I've often mentioned, the ride to Maine is a long one, and often dangerous, seeing as how we have to traverse Massachusetts and artfully dodge their crazy drivers. 

But these days, trusty iPhone aboard, I've got Pandora, iHeart radio and my own 900-odd tunes in addition to the car radio to keep us occupied. Not satisfied even with that astonishing collection, this year I added a web site that has a bunch of old timey (1940s) radio serials. 

One we had some fun with was Buck Rogers in the 25th century. Laughably lame (and arguably lacking an Erin Gray in skin-tight outfits to make you forget any plot holes as in the 1970s TV show), it nonetheless did have some nifty keeno sounding space-age devices. 

I can see the writers now at a blackboard with three columns of technical sounding gobbledygook that they can then use to string together each week's new space gadget. 

Hence the cosmic gyro relativator.
