I couldn't find this in the FAQ or the README, so...

On level one, near the room here the hostages are, go into the room where
the fan is, and take a right (I'm assuming you were looking at the hostages
right side up :).. You will see an electrical symbol like this:
  
   _____
  /  /  \
  |  \  |
  |  /  |
   \____/

on the wall.. Go around this corridor loop, and in there is a yellow zone
with 'sparks' flying around... What is this place?

It's a recharge center.  Fly into the sparks and
wait there.  If your power is less than 100, then
you will be recharges up to 100.  So once you've
got a clear path to the recharge center, you can
be absolutely profligate in your use of weapons.
(lasers anyway).  Remember that even if you don't
hit the robots with your shots, they seem to be
intimidated by them.  Back 'em up into a corner!

It's the generator room, right? It will recharge your energy to 100.
If your energy is over 100, it can do nothing...

It is energy.  According to the FAQ, it was is there so that mining robots can 
"refuel" on the fly.  Fly through it and your energy will recharge, up to 100 
points.
