The buses work by generating battery power through a regenerative braking system.
In times of low power demand, Schmitz says the the system gradually re-stores the battery power so it is able and ready to be used when the customer again needs power.

So, crawling out on a limb, he asked BorgWarner's strategy board for funds so that he and a small group of engineers could begin work on a new turbocharging system that would draw its power from the supersize battery instead of the car's exhaust system.
The fire started after a battery in the jet's auxiliary power system overheated.
With a more power efficient operating system and processor, it looks like the iPhone 5 will have the battery power to play those games throughout the day, without necessary pitstop charges, which is more than I can say about the 3DS and PS Vita.
