Kinetic output

**Kinetic output** or kinetic release is the counterpart to kinetic input and allows the user to release kinetic energy into or onto objects or themselves, causing the affected object to move at a direction and rate chosen by the syphon.

## How it works

### Syphonic rules

Kinetic output is bound by basic rules.

* Needs a medium (any matter eg. not space)
* Not affected by newtons second law (unless flinging themselves/something they are holding.)

### Kinetic output equation

Kinetic outputs give energy to objects and cause them to move, the speed of the object depends on the amount of energy and the mass of the object.

v = (2 · SE / m)½

* v = Velocity of object.
* SE = Stored energy
* m = Mass of object.

## Techniques

The basic ability of kinetic output is to **increase the kinetic energy of objects, or increase their speed**. This basic ability has been mastered and used in different ways with each kinetic output syphon learning how to use it in different ways. In order to give energy to an object they must have direct contact with the object or have a medium in which to transfer kinetic energy to. Some techniques focus on applying kinetic energy to weapons or other objects and other apply kinetic energy directly to the user.

### Traditional syphoning

Traditional techniques focus on simply moving large objects away from the user at a given speed. The technique does not require much thought, training, focus, or restraint,

### Shotgun technique

* Focuses on throwing objects at high speeds, typically using gravel or pebbles for a shotgun effect.

### Self-propulsion techniques

* Dash technique focuses on short bursts of movement.
* Flight technique focuses on prolonged controlled movement through the air.

### Martial kinetics

* Hand to hand combat using energy to increase damage of attacks and push the opponent and weapons around

### Weaponist techniques

* Focuses on apply kinetic energy to handheld weapons such as an axe or sword to increase damage.
* Kinetic archery applies kinetic energy to spears/arrows to increase force.

### Windwaking techniques

* Applying a strong force to the air directly in front of the syphon causes air pressure blows.

### Mechanist technique

* The mechanist technique revolves around operating machinery via controlling the kinetic energy of many pistons

## Domestic and industrial uses

### Domestic

In the home kinetic output syphons typically use their powers to move things, open doors, with many of them having special areas/doors only they can open.

* Mixing food
* Opening doors
* Moving around the house via sliding/hovering
* move heavy objects (furniture or boxes)

### Industrial/jobs

Kinetic outputs have been long used to move large objects, many machines have been invented that need a kinetic syphon to move the parts.

* Forging/Blacksmithing
	+ Move heavy objects (large shipments of metal.)
	+ Apply pressure to heated metals.
* Builder
	+ Hammer things in.
	+ Break things in half.
	+ Operate kinetic-machinery

## Gear & technology

### Weapons

* Kinetic spikes (Weaponist technique)
* Bag of rocks (Shotgun technique)
* Bag of gravel (Shotgun technique)

### Armor/Shields

* Spring loaded boots
* Spring loaded armlets

### Industrial

* Kinetic operated machines (see machinery techniques)

## General strengths and weaknesses

### Strengths

* Kinetic output syphons are incredibly versatile due to their ability to deal damage and move incredibly fast.

### Weaknesses

* They can easily hurt themselves if they apply too much kinetic energy to an object they are holding or themselves.
* Kinetic energy is high energy cost, meaning that it takes a lot of energy to do simple techniques.
