Potential Energy Manipulation

The ability to manipulate potential energy. Variation of Energy Manipulation.

Also Called

 * Potential Energy Control

Capabilities
User can create, shape and manipulate the potential energy, i.e., the energy of an object relating to its state of being or position. The energy is stored in the object and remains there, so long as the object remains unaltered or stationary. Potential refers to the possibility of the energy's use in the future in some capacity. Potential energy is connected to forces. When a force acts on an object with potential energy, it is transformed into a new type of energy (electricity, heat, light, sound, kinetic energy, etc.).

Applications

 * Chemical Generation
 * Deformation Manipulation
 * Energy Conversion
 * Energy Generation
 * Kinetic Energy Manipulation
 * Mechanical Energy Manipulation
 * Physical Change Manipulation
 * Potential Force Manipulation

Variations

 * Chemical Energy Manipulation - energy stored in biomass, fuel substances.
 * Elastic Energy Manipulation - energy stored in elastic substances.
 * Electricity Manipulation - energy stored in object with electric charge in relation to proximity to other electrically charged objects; can also act as kinetic energy.
 * Gravitational Energy Manipulation - energy stored in object in relation to it's height above ground.
 * Nuclear Manipulation - energy stored in atom's nucleus.

Associations

 * Chemical Reaction Manipulation
 * Gravity Manipulation
 * Elasticity
 * Energy Manipulation
 * Fundamental Forces Manipulation
 * Physical Energy Manipulation

Limitations

 * Requires an acting force for the energy to be used.
 * May not have control over what new energy is produced.
 * May not have any more potential energy after new energy is produced.
 * Altering object's state or position may affect is overall potential energy.
