July 19, 2024: In a pioneering leap towards sustainable energy solutions, Hyderabad-based startup HYLENR has unveiled the world’s first cold fusion technology, poised to revolutionize power generation with its Low Energy Nuclear Reactor (LENR) innovation. This pathbreaking technology, recently granted a patent by the Government of India, promises a paradigm shift in energy production by amplifying electrical inputs to generate clean and efficient heat across various applications.
HYLENR’s Low Energy Nuclear Reactor marks a significant advancement in power generation alternatives, leveraging milligrams of hydrogen and minimal electricity to stimulate and amplify heat through fusion processes. This innovation enables the production of excess heat, exceeding the energy input, thereby enhancing efficiency and reducing reliance on traditional energy sources.
During a live demonstration at T-HUB in Hyderabad, HYLENR showcased its LENR reactor achieving a remarkable 1.5x heat amplification from just 100W of electrical input, underscoring its potential for widespread adoption in diverse sectors. Siddhartha Durairajan, CEO of HYLENR, highlighted the technology’s adaptability, stating, “Our patent validates the ingenuity of integrating LENR into existing power systems, offering enhanced efficiency and sustainability. By amplifying electricity from renewable and non-renewable sources, including space applications, we aim to achieve a 2.5 times increase in power output.”
