Oxhy presents OXHYcube, the modular demonstrator based on Oxhycell
An experimental platform to explore new ultra-low-power energy harvesting applications and distributed energy autonomy.
Oxhy presents OXHYcube, a modular demonstrator designed to make the application potential of Oxhycell visible and understandable: the technology developed by Oxhy to generate electricity from ambient infrared radiation and dispersed heat.
OXHYcube was created with a clear goal: to show how small amounts of energy can power simple, adaptive and scalable electronic functions, opening new perspectives for ultra-low-power devices, distributed sensing, industrial IoT and low-consumption autonomous systems.
From the laboratory to a physical, modular and interactive object
At the center of the system is the Powercore, the energy core based on an array of Oxhycell units. Around the Powercore, different functional modules can be magnetically attached, including LED light, e-paper display, proximity and ambient light sensors, and audio outputs.
Interaction with OXHYcube takes place wirelessly via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), positioning the demonstrator within the field of ultra-low-power IoT architectures.
“With OXHYcube, we want to show what Oxhycell can become when it moves from the laboratory to a physical, modular and interactive object,” says Graziano Terenzi, Chief Strategy Officer and Co-founder of OXHY. “It is not a final commercial product, but an important step toward exploring future applications in autonomous electronics, sensing and distributed low-power systems.”
Detect, activate, adapt
The demonstrator principle behind OXHYcube can be summarized in three steps:
Detect → Activate → Adapt
The system is designed to show an essential interaction between energy, environment and electronic function: detecting an input, activating a module and adapting its behavior according to the context.
This logic is relevant for future applications in which sensors, distributed devices and ultra-low-power systems will need to operate with reduced consumption, greater autonomy and less dependence on battery replacement.
Why OXHYcube matters
OXHYcube translates a complex technology into a concrete experience.
It shows how Oxhycell can evolve from an experimental cell into an application platform, paving the way for future prototypes in:
- distributed sensing;
- industrial IoT;
- smart infrastructure;
- autonomous devices;
- ultra-low-power electronic systems.
Modularity is one of the key elements of the demonstrator: multiple modules, Powercores or cubes can be combined to explore configurations with increasing power and more complex application scenarios.
OXHYcube does not only show a technology. It shows a possible direction for autonomous electronics.
A bridge between research, engineering and future applications
OXHYcube represents an intermediate step in the development roadmap of Oxhycell: not the final destination, but a tool to make Oxhy’s technological trajectory more tangible.
The launch of the demonstrator comes at a particularly significant stage for the company, during its equity crowdfunding campaign currently live on CrowdFundMe, which has already raised over €1.3 million.
To support the launch of OXHYcube, Oxhy has produced a teaser video, visual materials and an interactive 3D web experience, designed to present the demonstrator in an accessible and engaging way.
Small Energy. Massive Autonomy.
