 This problem exists in the Junker book as well.  Tech spirits (or whatever 
 they're called) attached to an item are said to generate power per round.  
 Yet vehicles use power per hour.  You slap a Vehicular spirit on your 
 hoverbike, and you're going to have excess power to spare... >>

You'd have excess power to power other vehicles. It seems like a lot of 
people are overlooking the last line of the paragraph about browser's 
providing juice: "A browser can only provide energy for powers with which it 
is associated." That means a gun spirit can't power a car, and a car spirit 
can't power a gun.
