The materialisation of a TARDIS caused a massive displacement of artron energy. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Highest Science]]'') This would help the scanners.

This energy was vital in the running of a TARDIS; it could run low ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Option Lock]]'') and when down to 10% it would mean even backup power was unavailable, as this required artron energy ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Banquo Legacy]]'') | This energy was vital in the running of a TARDIS; it could run low ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Option Lock]]'') and when down to 10% it would mean even backup power was unavailable, as this required artron energy.

During the [[Last Great Time War]], [[Dalek]] technology further evolved/developed so they could use artron energy as a power source. A Dalek on the verge of death could be restored to operational status by the slightest touch from a time traveller. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'') Similarly, the touch of a time traveller could be used to activate the [[Time Lord]]-constructed [[Genesis Ark]], which served as a [[Transcendentally dimensional|bigger on the inside]] [[prison ship]] containing millions of Daleks.

Some individuals exposed to artron energy | Some individuals exposed to artron energy developed a unique artron print that can be detected and tracked. The Time Lords used this to recognise and track [[Irving Braxiatel]] after he planted a [[data bomb]] in the [[Matrix]]. ([[AUDIO]]:''[[The Inquiry (audio story)|The Inquiry]]'') | ||

Coupling the human mind to a source of high-voltage [[electricity]] could result in a massive release of artron energy. The [[Eighth Doctor]] once compared the relationship between Artron and normal energy to the movement in the depths of the sea and the waves on the surface.

Even touching a TARDIS could cause the passage of artron energy. [[Clyde Langer]] absorbed some artron energy from the outside of the TARDIS as he was trying to enter it while it was trapped in a [[time loop]] made by [[the Trickster]]. He then used the energy to attack the Trickster, as he was time-sensitive. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith]]'') [[Eleventh Doctor|The Doctor]] later keyed into Clyde's residual artron energy in order to make a biological swap.

The Fifth Doctor stated that Time Lords start off with a certain amount of artron energy saturating their bodies in each incarnation, with the energy accumulating over time; their energy count is 'reset' to a specific level after each regeneration to prevent the accumulative artron energy absorbed during their lives causing excessive damage ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Empire of Death (novel)|Empire of Death | The Fifth Doctor stated that Time Lords start off with a certain amount of artron energy saturating their bodies in each incarnation, with the energy accumulating over time; their energy count is 'reset' to a specific level after each regeneration to prevent the accumulative artron energy absorbed during their lives causing excessive damage.

* When the TARDIS' [[Banshee Circuits]] were activated, it used the mental artron energy of the [[Time Scaphe]] crew to reconfigure itself into a multi-dimensional city reminiscent of those of ancient [[Gallifrey]].

* The entity known as [[House]] fed on artron energy, the best and most refined source being TARDISes (The [[Eleventh Doctor]] compared it to preferring fish fingers over raw fish). To accomplish this he would lure wayward TARDISes into the "[[bubble universe]]" in which he resided to devour their energy supply. However he couldn't devour raw TARDIS energy as the deaths of the TARDIS consciousness would create a hole in the universe, so he would transfer the TARDIS mainframe into a [[human]] receptacle and devour the remaining artron energy.
