He further explains that it does lubricate his systems. So based on current physics, and that the STU gives no answer or any conflicting theory, that it's fusion. I would doubt that it's fission since the amount of nuclear waste that's created would have to be dealt with and one would think that it would have surfaced in an episode somewhere. Since there's no conflicting science and no direct answer ever given, my answer is that it's either fission or fusion. What is a power cell? How does it work? How does it recharge itself? Some others above gave answers that tried to deal with some of these issues. In this case there is no STU explanation for what is powering data. There are some conflicts since the STU is more technologically and scientifically advanced than us so of course there would be new discoveries that might conflict with our own understanding of physics, chemistry, etc. If we use a term scientific or otherwise it holds true that it has the same meaning in the STU. So what we call a chair, in the STU is also a chair. I would like to posit, that when we view sci fi or Star Trek we accept that whatever is true in our universe is true in the Star Trek Universe as well unless there is a conflict. I wanted to ask this question myself, but it would have been deemed a duplicate question by the overseers of the site. However nobody fully answered the broad and more interesting question of how data is powered. Based on the quote from the movie they recharge themselves. The second part or explanation is sort of answered above and in some other answers. The original question was, "How is data powered?" then a further explanation of the question, "What powers Data from Star Trek The Next Generation? Did he generate his own internal power or did he have to plug into the Enterprise periodically to recharge? Or perhaps a combination of the two?" My power cells continually re-charge themselves. Several people have mentioned the following quote from the movie Insurrection There is no answer directly in any episode or movie. I haven't really seen an answer yet so I'll take a crack at it. Have been around for about 150 years, and Data's SK cell packs haveīeen augmented by biochemical and electroplasma micro-reactors. To know what Data runs on, it's lots and lots of old lithium cell You could theorheticallyĪbsorb potential energy from gravity by walking down stairs, but how Just transferring energy from your body too). There's no real way to recharge by walking around, since he has toĮxpend energy to walk (shaking a wristwatch to charge it is really His, which is unique among props - perhaps that had a recharging He's always sitting at that workstaion of Revolution, I see no reason he couldn't recharge without having to While TNG's heydey was really before the real-life wireless We later see him sleeping ins a regular bed. This was obviously not used as a concept, since No physical connections - he'd just lie in theīed and it'd light up. Recharged him sorta like a huge D-cell battery charger, with teminalsįor his head and feet. Early concept art from Rick Sternbach showed a bed for Data which
