Abstract
Methods, systems, and power sharing servers that include a computer processor; a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor; a power supply unit coupled to a power domain unit via a power supply unit port; an intravoltage port configured to receive a shared power cable coupled to an intravoltage port of a different power sharing server; and a transfused power card coupled to the power supply unit via a primary input power line, the transfused power card further coupled to the intravoltage port via a shared power line, the transfused power card configured to export electrical current via an intravoltage port when the transfused power card is receiving electrical current, above a threshold, from the power supply unit, and import electrical current via the intravoltage port when the transfused power card is not receiving electrical current, above the threshold, from the power supply unit.
