I take the term to refer to a device that draws power from outside the
universe. E.g. the one in Asimov's _The Gods Themselves_ or the
"hypertrop" from the Perry Rhodan series that tap into a parallel
universe and exploit some kind of energy differential between the
universes. This is of course entirely speculative.
