Abstract: Functional modules of a modular system include two or more ferrous conductors, each conductor having a separate magnet associated therewith that is electrically isolated from other conductors and magnets. Circuitry within functional modules is electrically connected to the ferrous conductors. The ferrous conductors of the functional modules are configured to be magnetically attracted to, contact, and receive power from ferrous conductors of a power delivery module.

Abstract: The modular power electrical system provides a plurality of base modules, connectors, and functional device modules, and mating modules which can be connected together to provide a fully reconfigurable power transfer system. A magnetic connection is used to connect the devices together and to transmit power some embodiments. Methods for controlling the modules are also described.
