If they are like the trollies I briefly got to get some insight into (got to poke around in the CAD model for a bit and talk to some of the engineers working on it) they might have a small battery pack to carry them over intermitten gaps in grid power delivery. Kind of like a hybrid car battery.

Could the regeneration be putting out a higher current than what the batteries on the subway train can handle? Not very likely, but I guess that's a possibility.

Or if the trains are running on an electrified rail and don't actually carry much battery capacity themselves so regenerative braking fills that small battery and then dumps the rest back to the grid?

I don't particularly feel that either of those situations are likely to be accurate, but I guess someone could have done something weird in the design.

Isnt this how you get crowdstrike? I feel like this is how you get crowdstrike.

Thank you for explaining it. I was trying to find Sadam Hussain.

Eh, that's pretty normal for a patent.

I thought red was automatic transmission fluid?

Some people say Skyrim has the best horses, but I say it's Forestry Simulator 2017

I'm not sure I can handle $75,000 per year, do you think that 30 day free trial would be long enough to pull this plan off?

I'm hoping it's spring loaded and makes that scroll "fwip-fwip-fwip-fwip" noise.

It's archives all the way down.

For a second I thought this was a real headline. Like God damn.
