Mainly it works due to the strange physics in Minecraft. Basically when two carts touch each other, they both accellerate. You can use that to create "
boosters". The tricky part, and the bit where my system is clever, is getting the motion started in the first place. I use a modified version of
this design so all you have to do is sit in a cart and press a button.
And actually, there are powered minecarts. (You place a furnace and a minecart together when crafting.) But they work really slowly.
