In the tournament of power we've seen Freezer giving energy to Goku to restore
Goku's power, after he run out of energy when he used for the first time
incomplete Ultra Instinct

Then in Dragon Ball Z we've seen how 17 gave energy to Goku for him to create
a Genki Dama

Since 17 has infinite energy, why cant he give energy to Goku to restore his
energy just like Freezer did before?

question
dragon-ball-series dragon-ball-super
Can't 17 give energy to Goku to restore Goku's power?


Firstly, the Energy given for the **Spirit Bomb** is different from the Energy
given by Freiza and Vegeta to Goku. Goku can gather this energy from
_inanimate life forms and surrounding objects_ as well for the spirit bomb.
Hence, in other words, Goku can't gather energy from a rock and regain
stamina.  
Secondly, the androids have infinite "Stamina" which prevents them from
getting tired like a normal individual. This might be because of mechanical
part fitted inside Android 17. So it would be impossible for Android 17 to
share his energy with Goku.  
  
A better analogy would be something like this.

* Let us assume there exist 2 human beings and 1 robot.
* Human beings need x amount of blood to survive while the robot has a fitted energy source which is different from blood but always keeps them alive.
* If one human is deprived of blood, he needs to rely on the other human and can't ask help from the robot despite him having an infinite energy source because the human has a different anatomy compared to the robot.
