Artist's depiction of a "Thought camera" (attributed to Nikolai Tesla, but not necessarily informed by Tesla's actual inventions). This device is a precursor to modern scrying engines.

A scrying engine is any engine which causes or facilitates scrying.

The Patrick Device is an early prototype scrying engine. It set the standard for subsequent engines.

John Brunner owns a Lee and Turner color projector which has been extensively custom modified for use as a scrying engine. Brunner has called it "the best bloody tool I ever bought."

The Rosenwald sheets function as rudimentary scrying engine, apparently providing a Diagramaceous soil matrix for scrying routines.
