The coil is a recurring item in the Submachine series. Coils are used to power a variety of machinery throughout the Subnet.
Submachine 2: The Lighthouse
In Sub 2 there are two coils that make up one of the five power sources of the lighthouse portal. They differ from each other in that they are colored differently; the positive coil is red and the negative coil is blue.
Submachine 4: The Lab
The coil in Submachine 4 has multiple uses.
The charger used to power up coils in Submachine 4.
In the research base, there is a mechanical pump-like machine that has a secret hidden in it. The machine can only be opened with the aid of the coil.

The laser requires two coil-fulls of energy to be powered up. This gives it the power to destroy the Orb.

Submachine 10: The Exit
Two different kinds of coils appear in Submachine 10:
The initial coil is obtained from the beamer at the Dock, and is used in the temple to unlock a portal stabiliser.- Two plasma coils can be found in different places - one obtained after solving the puzzle in Level X and the other after using the karma stabiliser in the Winter Palace. Both are used in the metal section to activate a ladder, which provides access to the lighthouse tower.
