Power tip

A power tip served as a weapon attachment affixed to force pikes. When energized by an ultrasonic vibration generator, the tip discharged vibrations at a rate of thousands per second. These ultrasonic waves traveled along the pike through conductive circuits, enabling the blade to sever materials such as stone, metal, flesh, and even bone.
