They use normal road oscillations as the energy source to pump them up, so level the vehicle after a few miles of driving.

The anti-squat characteristics are entirely geometric/mechanical. The suspension links constitute a non-parallel four-bar linkage, though it is a bit tough to immediately visualize the geometry. Springs and dampers are ordinary; no Nivomat.
