A system for generating current on a cart comprises a plurality of transmitting induction coils disposed below a surface. The plurality of transmitting induction coils is connected in an electrical circuit powered by mains power. Each transmitting induction coil generates an alternating electromagnetic field when powered by the mains power. A cart has a bottom area and a receiving induction coil coupled to the bottom area. The receiving induction coil generates an electrical current when approximately aligned with a given transmitting induction coil of the plurality of transmitting induction coils and is disposed within the alternating electromagnetic field generated by that given transmitting induction coil.
