Hyderabad: Clean energy generated, first cold fusion technology demonstrated
Hyderabad: Hyderabad-based startup HYLENR has demonstrated the world’s first and unprecedented cold fusion technology to generate clean energy. The innovation has received a patent from the Government of India for its low energy nuclear reactor technology. HYLENR’s low energy nuclear reactor is a promising alternative for power generation, amplifying input electricity to generate heat for space application (MMRTG), steam generation for multiple applications, room heating in cold regions globally, induction heating for domestic and industrial requirements. Moreover, HYLENR devices can significantly reduce the risk profile for space missions.
In a live demonstration during the launch of the product here on Wednesday, HYLENR’s product successfully achieved a consistent 1.5x heat amplification (150 Watt equivalent heat) from 100W electrical input. HYLENR’s reactors use low energy nuclear reactors (LENR is known as “cold fusion”), which apply milligrams of hydrogen and small amounts of electricity to stimulate and generate excess heat through fusion. These can generate significantly more heat than the input energy, making it a potentially game-changing technology for power generation.
Dr. Prahlad Ramarao, former Distinguished Scientist at DRDO and currently Chief Innovation Officer at HYLENR, said, “LENR reactors use low energy nuclear reactions to generate excess heat. By applying a small amount of electricity to stimulate these reactions, LENR can generate significantly more heat than the input energy, making it a potentially game-changing technology for power generation.” Siddharth Durairajan, chief executive officer of HYLENR, said the team has invested in developing the patented technology over the last 10 years and plans to invest further and raise funds to commercialise the product in an accelerated mode. “HYLENR’s advanced research and development facility is located at T-HUB, Hyderabad. Another development centre is located at Electronic City in Bengaluru,” he said.
