I'm not sure how they're powered, I wouldn't expect them to be passively powered, AFAIK they use an electric motor.
Which really brings to the main point...it would be incredibly stupid to use a system like that, using multiple active mechanical devices leaves tons of opportunity for failure...
And given there is a passive system that works perfectly, it would be a pretty big error to use something else.
Regardless if you think it's stupid, that's how they work at the Stanley Park Zehrs.
