It's like a chuffing great rechargeable toothbrush. I Googoo'd this...Bombardier PRIMOVE tram thingamabob

As the name suggests, induction coils under the vehicle create a pulsed Magnetic Field, which the tram picks up and converts back into energy.

So it's recharging as it goes along, without any physical connection to a power source. Clever stuff.
