Power of Things
The Power of Things (PoT) is the network of physical objects that enables exchange of power for all its objects to function independently of a central source of power. Objects in a Power of Things network can either be emitters of power, receivers of power, energy storage batteries or their combination. The Power of Things allows objects to power each other without the need of a central power supplier. Power of Things allows similar objects to power each other (houses to power each other, cars to power eat other, hand held devices to power each other, etc) or different objects to power each other.

Background
The term Power of Things was first coined when a Masdar Institute PhD student Alaeddine Mokri invented a photovoltaic device that allowed both emission and reception of power. The device acted as both a laser (emitter of power) and a solar cell (receiver of power) which allowed several of these devices to power each other for an infinite period of time without needing a central power supplier.

Power of Things and Internet of Things
Power of Things networks are typically Internet of Things networks where requests and fulfillment of power needs get communicated through internet.
