1. A power pad comprising:
- a polygonal pad including;
a power network;
at least one power connector coupled to the power network and disposed on a periphery of the pad and operable to exchange power with a provided adjacent pad; and
at least one power transfer mechanism embedded in the pad and coupled to the power network to transfer power to a device proximate the pad.

Abstract
A polygonal power pad includes an optional connector to connect to a power supply and a power network in the power pad. At least one power connector is coupled to the power network and is disposed on a periphery of the pad. The power connector is operable to receive and provide power to a provided adjacent pad. At least one power transfer coil embedded in the pad, is coupled to the power network to transfer power to a device proximate the pad
