* In the ''Series/StargateSG1'' episode "[[Recap/StargateSG1S10E13TheRoadNotTaken The Road Not Taken]]", an AlternateUniverse version of Samantha Carter was attempting to draw power from alternate realities. An accident during a test killed her and transported the prime universe version of Carter into that one.

** Zero-Point Modules draw zero-point energy from a pocket dimension in subspace, albeit one small enough that the Expedition has a habit of depleting [=ZPMs=] shortly after finding them. The Ancients tried a reactor that drew energy from this universe but exotic particles killed everyone on the planet, and when [=McKay=] tried to "fix" it he blew up a solar system by accident -- well, [[InsistentTerminology five sixths]] of a solar system.
** The episode "[=McKay=] and Mrs Miller" has an [[InvertedTrope inversion]] -- the team attempts to create a stable version of the reactor by venting its exotic particles into a parallel universe, under the logic that it has only a MillionToOneChance of being inhabited. Naturally, an alternate version of Dr. [=McKay=] soon shows up, who politely asks his counterpart to stop destroying his universe.
* In ''[[Series/Supergirl2015 Supergirl]]'', Mr Mxyzptlk is an imp from within the Fifth Dimension, which is pretty much just reality-warping energy in the form of another dimension. On Earth, he can connect to his home to use this energy to power what looks like magic.
* In ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'', the flagship of the [[MirrorUniverse Terran]] [[TheEmpire Empire]], the ISS ''Charon'', has a reactor that draws power from the mycelial network and looks like a miniature sun floating in a cavity in the middle of the ship. Unfortunately, it's also killing the mycelium and threatens to end all life in TheMultiverse. Apparently, it was designed by Mirror!Stamets. Prime!Stamets is understandably upset at what his double has done. [[spoiler:Blowing up the Imperial flagship reverses the damage and allows the ''Discovery'' to ride the shockwave back to the Prime universe.]]
* In ''Series/BabylonFive'', Vorlon and Shadow ships tap directly into hyperspace for power. When the Interstellar Alliance builds two destroyers with a Vorlon WaveMotionGun, the power requirements, which would be nothing for a Vorlon ship, are significant enough that everything else on the destroyer powers down for a full minute. This can cause problems if the shot from the main cannon doesn't vaporize the target.
