D.I.F. or Device of Indeterminate Function

My work normally has a very particular (fantastical) function, with a detailed story behind the development of each device and the individuals involved. This is the complete opposite, with (deliberately) no discernible function at all. The seven 'attachments' are entitled Elucidator, Alleviator, Infernorator, Bifertigator, Cinerator, Quadfurcator and Ephemorator.
