Energy is equivalent to the work done on a motor. The work done on the motor is multiplied by more than 100% by recycling the energy the motor uses. Why then does the energy in the system appear to be more than one hundred percent?

For instance if a motor is powered from a capacitor with 1 joule of energy in it then the motor has done 1 joule's worth of work. Yet when the energy is recycled the motor can now do more work than what it originally could have if the energy was used only once.

If the work done in the motor is directly related to and proportional to the energy that was in the capacitor, then this would mean that the energy has now gone above 100% as well. Why?
