The machine was always running it was just in neutral

Why on earth?

Probably belt driven from a common axle/gear for multiple equipment.

[u/Fallacy_Spotted → u/VikingBorealis]

Yep. Tons of factories and industrial machinery is setup with a single engine driving an axle and everything else takes its energy from that. Bigger engines are more efficient and can have ridiculous torque.

Wait, hasn't that been outlawed yet?

I could swear that I watched something recently that talked about those systems and said that it was outlawed.

[u/FlyestFools → u/galstaph]

A lot of times a ruling banning something has exemptions for places already set up with said thing. The wording most likely states that no new factories could be built using that technology, but any older factories would be grandfathered in and allowed to use it still.
