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.
The Power Cube was designed to function as a modular power solution backbone for GVCS technologies.
Product Ecology
The current itteration of the power cube is an 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.
