If for example a Rasenshuriken was compressed/made smaller (think like brandish ability in fairy tail) would the energy output change. Would the small RS have the same destructive capabilities of a normal non compressed RS.

I'm guessing it would be stronger. It's like saying if you had a balloon and squeezed it, the more you squeeze the higher the pressure until it pops. From an energy standpoint it would be like compressing a spring. The more compact it gets the more energy is in the system

But the energy hasn't changed so shouldn't the output be the same?

I think that's what he's getting at, if the powers the same, but your forcing it to compress more than it was, the eventual explosion of power would be greater

I'm no expert on this but from my view, it would produce a more powerful explosion, wider radius, etc. Simply because compressed energy spreads more faster through a medium than regularly.

In the case of an frs, if you keep compressing the "sphere" it would only make the chakra inside rotate faster and faster thus logically releasing more energy.... Or at least I think lol

It increases in kinetic energy, decreases in potential energy.

Did naruto ever throw mini RS so you could compare blasts?

Reducing the unit space for unit energy/point...(I might not be making any sense :shy:)

Obviously, there's more energy in a compressed system.

Just make sure your specific, as whoever your debating might think you mean a smaller frs is more destructive as opposed to a compressed frs. Some people look for minute details like that in your argument to make you feel like your wrong

OH he knows. Bother have the same energy or power contained in them and just one of them is compressed.

the energy yield would be the same, but the more condensed attack would be deadlier if it hits you.

Folks, do you remember that really important science class on that thing called the conservation of energy? Where would any additional energy come from?

No, the energy output would not change (the power generated - the energy transferred per time - would probably change but that isn't really all that relevant here, either).

The relevant physics concept you're looking for here is stress - the force per area.

The energy transferred wouldn't change but the potential stress capable of being exerted would increase as your energy ball transfers the same energy, which to a first approximation can be taken to correspond to the force exerted (assuming the distance you smash the thing over is the same), and therefore exerts the same corresponding force, over a smaller area.

Greater stress on an object does typically translate to more "damage," i.e. greater internal forces on the body under the load, so yes, it would result in a more 'destructive' attack as we would intuitively expect.

The trade-off is the force is more localised. Compare punching someone vs running into them or rugby tackling them and assume you exert the same force.
