Overview
The Power Cube is a moduler, universal, self-contained power unit that consists of an engine coupled to a hydraulic pump for providing power in the form of hydraulic fluid at high pressure through quick connect hoses.
Status
Currently, the Power Cube is on its fourth prototype, and has been successfully tested with the Tractor, CEB, MicroTrac, Drill Press, and Welder.
Features
The Power Cube was designed in accordance with OSE Specifications for maximum utility. The Power Cube features...
- Modularity - String multiple power cubes together for increased hydraulic power.
- Flexibility - Quick Connect hoses and Quick Attach Plate enable extreme flexibility to place power wherever it is needed.
- Ease of Repair - All engine components are easily accessible and fast to replace/repair with off-the-shelf parts or locally produced equipment.
Product Ecology
The current itteration of the power cube is a off-the-shelf gasoline engine, but the design is intended to be as power source agnostic as possible. There will likely be many variations on the power cube design, but all fitting inside a similar size profile.
