The Dark Matter Afterburner is an invention created by Professor Farnsworth. It allows for a ship to operate at a level of 200% fuel efficiency. The idea for it came to him in a dream but was lost in another dream. The Professor showed the device to Cubert, who thought that it was "especially impossible" to function.
