** In the same vein, the various ''[[Getter Robo]]''s are powered by Getter Energy, though some canons state that it can actually recharge itself.
* [[Daitarn 3]] is powered by the sun.
* While many ''[[Gundam]]''-based Mobile Suits are explicably stated that they're ran on some sort of nuclear power, ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' takes the cake - most mook- and enemy- units are initially powered by solar energy, but are easily overwhelmed by the Gundams, which run on GN Particles.

[[Place of Power|Demesnes and manses]] (and the [[Power Crystal|hearthstones]] produced by the latter) and [[Gods Need Prayer Badly|prayer]] also help recharge Essence.
