Abstract
A power providing system in which inductive power outlets are incorporated into a bounding surface of a workspace includes inductive power outlets having primary inductors connected to a power supply via a driver. The primary inductors may be inductively coupled to secondary inductors wired to an electric load to provide power thereto. The bounding surface may be a wall, floor, ceiling or the like. Various inductively enabled prefabricated materials are disclosed for incorporating into such bounding surfaces.
