vortor
Vortor is a fictional concept used in science fiction and speculative writings to describe a rotating energy field that forms a torus-shaped region in space. The term is derived from vortex and the suffix -or, used in many technobabble lexicons to denote an engineered system.
Description and characteristics
In typical depictions, a vortor consists of a toroidal core around which energy circulates, creating a boundary
The concept appears as a narrative device to explain compact energy storage, advanced propulsion, or teleportation
Variants of the vortor emphasize different dominant energies: kinetic vortors focus on mechanical energy, gravitic vortors
