A quick internet search (please don't shout in capital letters) showed that it is powered by one of the following

a) Nuclear power plant

b) Fossil fuel (eg-diesel)

c) AA batteries (lots of them)

d) External 16.56MW electrical supply from a local power plant (using a big extension cord)

e) Flux capacitor providing 1.21 Jiggawatts.

I forget which company manufacturers it, but I'm sure it is built in Germany.

It runs on electricity, and drags a big extension cord behind it.

Oops. I see jack of all trades has already given the correct answer.

It's 36,240 AA batteries.
