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 with two chemical bonds, the two bonds tend to form a fixed angle. Any variation from this fixed equilibrium angle contributes to protein potential energy. Total potential energy based on angle is defined as over set S the triplet of atoms that are connected by two chemical bonds; E = Σk(α-α) where: k is the force constant α is the equilibrium angle α is the bond angle The middle bond of three bonds formed by four atoms maintains a certain angle which is also known as torsion is defined over set S the quartet of atoms that are connected by
