<p>Ryan ­: /* Product Ecology */ Redundancy</p> <hr /> <div>{{OrigLang}}<br /> {{GVCS Header}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:PowerCube.jpg|thumb|400px|PowerCube II]]<br /> <br /> ==Overview==<br /> <br /> The Power Cube is a modular, universal, self-contained power unit consisting of an engine coupled to a hydraulic pump, providing power from hydraulic fluid at high pressure through quick connect hoses. It is designed to function as a modular and interchangeable power supply for [[GVCS]] technologies.<br /> <br /> {{video}}<br /> <br /> ==Details==<br /> The Power Cube was designed in accordance with [[OSE Specifications]] for maximum utility. The Power Cube features...<br /> <br /> *'''Modularity''' - String multiple power cubes together for increased [[hydraulic power]].<br /> *'''Flexibility''' - Quick Connect hoses and [[Quick Attach Plate]] enable extreme flexibility to place power wherever it is needed.<br /> *'''Ease of Repair''' - All engine components are easily accessible and fast to replace/repair with off-the-shelf parts or locally produced equipment.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Product Ecology==<br /> [[Image:6b-Powercubeeco.png|thumb|600px|Power Cube [[Product Ecology]]]]<br /> <br /> The current iteration of the power cube is an [[Power_Cube/Bill_of_Materials|off-the-shelf gasoline engine]], but the design is intended to be as power source agnostic as possible so that the power production can be readily changed. There will likely be many variations on the power cube design, but all fitting inside a similar size profile so that a [[GVCS]] machine can readily swap out one Power Cube for another.<br /> <br /> {{Product Ecology<br /> |Product={{Power Cube}}<br /> <br /> |From=<br /> *[[Gasoline]]<br /> *[[Biodiesel]]<br /> *{{Steam Engine}}<br /> *{{Steam Generator}}<br /> *{{Gasifier Burner}}<br /> *{{Pelletizer}}<br /> <br /> |Uses=<br /> *[[Biofuel]]<br /> *[[Biomass]]<br /> *[[Tractor]]<br /> *[[QA Plate]]<br /> <br /> |Creates=<br /> *[[Power]]<br /> *[[Hydraulic]]<br /> <br /> |Enables=<br /> *{{Tractor}}<br /> *{{CEB Press}}<br /> *{{Bulldozer}}<br /> *{{MicroTrac}}<br /> *{{Car}}<br /> *{{Truck}}<br /> *{{Hammermill}}<br /> *{{Drill Press}}<br /> *{{Lathe}}<br /> *{{Welder}}<br /> *{{Ironworker}}<br /> *{{Sawmill}}<br /> *{{Induction Furnace}}<br /> *{{Torch Table}}<br /> <br /> |Components=<br /> *Frame<br /> *Engine<br /> *Coupler<br /> *[[Metal]]<br /> *Hydraulic Tank<br /> *Gas Tank<br /> *[[Hydraulic Pump]]<br /> *[[Hydraulic Hoses]]<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Video (Older Power Cube Designs)==<br /> *[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FceP-LCSpQ&amp;feature=player_embedded#at=68 Introduction to the Power Cube Design] (1 min 59 sec)<br /> *[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjnROs7dfFM Power Cube Complete] (5 min 6 sec)<br /> *[http://blip.tv/file/2295563?utm_source=player_embedded Power Cube] (3 min 30 sec)<br /> *[http://vimeo.com/15892882 Build Instructions] (50 min 27 sec)<br /> <br /> ==Development Status==<br /> Currently, the Power Cube is on its fourth prototype.

<p>Ryan ­: </p> <hr /> <div>== Stove Details? ==<br /> <br /> Where does oxygen for stove combustion come from?<br /> Do you have drawings with installation details?<br /> <br /> == CEB? ==<br /> Why not use the brick maker? [[User:Zawy|Zawy]] 03:30, 31 July 2011 (CEST)<br /> <br /> :I'm just a lurker, but my understanding is this: the solar cubicle shelters can be built rapidly and cheaply from the standard economy, perhaps as an intermediate shelter while building a life tractor, pulverizer, and CEB Press. Plus the CEB Press is not optimized for full automation yet. It needs a conveyor of some kind for loading soil with the tractor while automatically unloading bricks somehow so that one man can do the job with very little manual labor. --[[User:Ryan ­|Ryan ­]] 15:18, 31 January 2012 (CET)<br /> <br /> == Roof leak? ==<br /> <br /> This design looks like it could leak quite badly with large amounts of water run off flowing down the sides. Shouldn't there be some kind of system to get the water away from the structure's 'foundation' ground and seams in the panels? --[[User:Ryan ­|Ryan ­]] 14:35, 31 January 2012 (CET)</div>
