Introduction
The Power Cube, if placed into its own structural frame, can become a structural module that can be integrated readily within the LifeTrac Construction Set. The structural frame enables stacking of Power Cubes so their power can be combined.
Status
Prototypes have been developed, but they were larger than expected. A new design has been developed and is being finalized now (July 2014). This design will be used to build two prototypes and parts are already being ordered for this build.
This design has the following features:
- 8 x 8 x 8 Structural frame
- Built-in pressure relief control
- Interconnect port for equalizing hydraulic fluid in reservoirs
- Easy access to tanks for checking/filling fluids
Files
The original Structural Power Cube design used horizontal tanks, but the new "Vertical" design simplifies the design and packages it into a smaller frame.
