It doesn't really tell you much, and frankly my audience is mostly non-tech people. And no doubt some people really are curious and keep asking questions, but most people you can kinda see their head uncomfortably spin.

I also obfuscated it a bit by giving the most general name just for privacy reasons since not many people do it. But rest assured it is a "Retro Encabulator" type machine, and as you add details it just becomes more and more alien.

This is not at all what I do, but its similar esoteric-ness to "I make differential gear sets for calibrating ion trap interferometry systems". A collection of words where every one of them the average person struggles to place.
