Energymanipulation

Energymanipulation is a broad term that refers to the intentional influence over energy in various forms, whether through physical processes, engineering systems, or speculative abilities. In scientific usage, it concerns controlling the flow, transformation, and storage of energy in accordance with fundamental laws such as energy conservation and thermodynamics.

Real-world examples include electrical power management in grids and circuits, thermal management in electronics, propulsion systems, and energy storage technologies. Techniques span energy conversion (generators, inverters), energy harvesting (solar cells, wind turbines), energy transmission (power lines, wireless charging), and the use of advanced materials (metamaterials, superconductors) that shape how energy propagates. In physics, energy is not created or destroyed but transformed between forms, and practical limits are defined by efficiency, losses, and material constraints.

In fiction and popular culture, energymanipulation often denotes powers to generate, absorb, channel, or redirect energy at will, sometimes extending to control of light, heat, electricity, or radiant fields. Such depictions are narrative devices and are not supported by empirical evidence in the real world.
