Dynamic Energy? Just to clear up terms...

Potential Energy - An object can store energy as the result of its 
position. When an objects is altered from its usual equilibrium position it 
has potential energy (stored).

Kinetic Energy - the energy of motion. An object which has motion has 
kinetic energy.
