See Power Cube Genealogy for version.

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.
