Engine (such as pneumatic motors), springs (clockwork motors) and elastic bands. Historic military siege engines included large catapults, trebuchets, and (to some extent) battering rams were powered by potential energy. A pneumatic motor is a machine that converts potential energy in the form of compressed air into mechanical work. Pneumatic motors generally convert the compressed air to mechanical work though either linear or rotary motion. Linear motion can come from either a diaphragm or piston actuator, while rotary motion is supplied by either a vane type air motor or piston air motor. Pneumatic motors have found widespread success in the hand-held
Potential energy of protein a spring connecting the atoms together. Total potential energy based on bond length is over set S set of pairs of atoms that are connected by chemical bond defined as; E = Σ k(α-α) where: k is the force constant α is the equilibrium length α is the current length for the bond between ith and jth atoms. Just as the potential energy can be written as a quadratic form in the internal coordinates, so it can also be written in terms of generalized forces. The resulting coefficients are termed compliance constants. Like bond length, when three atoms are connected
