A Revitalising unit was a piece of Cyber-Technology that allowed Cybermen to recharge their systems when their power levels ran low. It consisted of two components. The first resembled a large, rectangular sarcophagus with an emblem mimicking the Cybermen's facial features on front. Inside was a cast big enough to accommodate the larger Cyber-Controller. The door was hinged at the right and opened outwards. The second component was a projection device, essentially an obelisk about seven to eight feet high with a trident shaped section on top. This section could pivot up and down and bombard the first component with energy that revitalised the occupant.

Kaftan attempted to kill Victoria Waterfield with this machine, but was stopped when the Second Doctor intervened. (DW: The Tomb of the Cybermen)

It remains unclear how Kaftan understood the Symbolic Logic controls that operate this machine (along with the hatch leading down to the Cyber-tombs) when Eric Klieg, her intellectual superior, was unable to do so.
