Summary: the design is a scalable, modular, self-contained power unit of 28 hp with a structural frame that makes the Power Cube a plug-and-play component for building other machines.
The basic design requirements follow OSE Specifications and include:
- Modularity - decoupling of power unit from machine
- Modularity - bolt together design
- Modularity - integrated structural steel frame makes the Power Cube either a standalone unit or structural part of another machine
- Stock parts - uses easily-findable parts and stock steel
- Modularity - consists of 11 modules that can be built in parallel
- Lifetime design - bolt-together construction and quick couplers allow for ease of disassembly
- Scalability - unlimited Extensive Scalability is feasible by using more Power Cubes in parallel. Tp date, up to 3 Power Cubes have been used on a single machine. See Stacking 3 Power Cubes.
- Modularity - quick couplers are used to connect the Power Cube to other devices
- Product Ecology - can be powered by the OSE Gasifier, is the core of a MicroTractor, and can be used to power or build other and larger machines. Can be stacked for bulldozer duty.
