# SAM Fluctuator

> Canonical source: [SAM Fluctuator](https://satisfactorybase.its-live.dev/wiki/items/sam-fluctuator)
> Language: en

The SAM Fluctuator is able to regulate and direct the behavior of Reanimated SAM through the application of electric charges with varying frequencies.
This control facilitates technologies such as matter-to-energy conversion and spatiotemporal matter manipulation.
