Technology demonstrator

OXHYcube

The modular demonstrator powered by Oxhycell.
One Powercore, multiple functional modules that attach magnetically, to make visible a new trajectory of distributed energy autonomy.

A demonstrator to make
Oxhycell visible

OXHYcube is a technology demonstrator made of an array of Oxhycell and a set of functional modules that attach magnetically.

Its purpose is to show how Oxhycell technology can evolve toward a modular platform able to power different electronic devices progressively.

OXHYcube is not the end point: it is a tool to explore architectures, configurations and future application trajectories.

The energy core of the system

At the heart of OXHYcube is the Powercore, the unit that integrates the Oxhycell array and powers the demonstrator's functional modules.

It is designed to explore how energy dispersed in the environment and ultra-low-power architectures can cooperate to enable simple, adaptive and scalable operating functions.

The Powercore in numbers

The Powercore is the energy core of OXHYcube: it integrates the Oxhycell array and makes available the energy needed to power the demonstration modules.

Performance will evolve in the subsequent phases of development, optimization and engineering, and these figures will be updated.

One Powercore. Multiple functions.

OXHYcube lets you attach different functional modules to the Powercore, showing how a single energy platform can support different applications.

Small Energy, Massive Autonomy

We harness small amounts of power to run distributed devices.

Detect

The sensor modules perceive light, proximity and environmental context.

Activate

The Powercore delivers the energy needed to power the module involved.

Adapt

The system responds to context, modulating the function in a coherent and progressive way.

More Powercores. More possibilities.

OXHYcube is conceived as a modular architecture at the energy level too.

Multiple cubes or Powercores can be combined to explore configurations with growing power and more challenging application scenarios.

This logic makes it possible to imagine future architectures in which multiple units cooperate to power more complex functions.

Modular in design.
Scalable in vision.

From the lab to the real world

OXHYcube is not Oxhy's final product. It is an intermediate step to make an application trajectory visible.

It shows how Oxhycell can evolve from a frontier technology into an application platform, paving the way for future prototypes for distributed devices, sensing, industrial IoT and ultra-low-power systems.

What it demonstrates

  • the system's modular logic
  • the ability to power different functions
  • the integration between Powercore and modules
  • the potential of scalable configurations
  • the application direction of Oxhycell technology
