Overview
The Power Cube is a modular, 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. It is designed to function as a modular power solution for GVCS technologies.
Product Ecology
The current iteration 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.
