The Zero Point Energy Collector (ZPEC) is a reality distorting, infinite electrical power source that charges depending on the current world that the object resides in. As long as the item is in "JoppaWorld", which is the starting world that the player starts in, the ZPEC will generate a constant amount of charge each turn, which varies depending on the object. | The Zero Point Energy Collector (ZPEC) is a reality distorting, infinite electrical power source that charges depending on the current world that the object resides in.

The {{favilink|ceremonial vibrokhopesh}}, {{favilink|grav chair}}, and {{favilink|black mote}} all use the ZPEC. | ||
How the ZPEC exactly works is unknown, but as the process is reality distorting it cannot work under the effects of [[normality]]. This means that being in a normality field or {{favilink|normality gas}} will cause the item to stop charging. | How the ZPEC exactly works is unknown, but as the process is reality distorting it cannot work under the effects of [[normality]].
