HYPERPOWER PROJECT
Chemically-activated, safer, better thorium fuel.
12 months of research proving out possiblilty • Novel thorium decay pathways • Safe, cleaner byproducts
Why HyperPower?
The world needs breakthrough energy innovation to meet unprecedented global demand
Global Energy Crisis
250 million people in India just exited extreme poverty. 250 million are still living in poverty and need to triple their power consumption to reach basic living standards and quintuple to match Western standards of 100 ExaJoules per person. Traditional energy infrastructure cannot scale to meet this demand, let alone the industrial electrification to come.
Abundant Resources
Thorium is 300 times more abundant than uranium, with India, Australia, US and Brazil holding significant reserves. This creates energy security and reduces geopolitical dependencies on traditional nuclear fuel sources.
Regulatory Freedom
India's Department of Atomic Energy operates independently within IAEA regulatory framework, enabling progressive nuclear development without the anti-innovation constraints that stifle Western programs.
Open Research Era
Distributed science and funding networks incentivise unprecedented research programs, breaking the historical nation-state gatekeeping on strategic energy research.
What We've Achieved
It's well known beta decay rates change when atoms are ionized. We've observed a novel thorium decay chain that corresponds to altered inner shell electron states. This opens the possibility chemically inducing thorium into a useable, safe nuclear fuel where it undergoes natural, energetic decay rather than fission.
Chemical Activation
Demonstrated possibility of chemically activating new thorium decay pathways, bypassing traditional nuclear activation methods entirely.
Safe Byproducts
Our process produces only oxygen and stable lead as byproducts, eliminating long-lived radioactive waste concerns permanently.
No Fissile Threat
Our research path poses no nuclear proliferation risk, enabling open scientific collaboration and development worldwide.
How We're Building
The HYPERPOWER project is a strategic energy research program open for private investment and subject to publication.
EXAFUSE & IIT(K) will answer the question: Is it possible to selectively scale the x-ray excited nuclear decay of thorium-232?
Theoretical Development
Building comprehensive theoretical framework for tunnelling based on the semi-classical picture has immediate applicability in other areas. As part of building out the theory we aim to develop the quantum chemical basis sets that can be used directly in PdD and NiO:H systems.
Distributed Research
Leveraging global scientific networks and
robust funding to accelerate research, moving beyond traditional government-controlled energy programs.
Open Science
Publishing research openly to enable global collaboration and peer review, ensuring transparency and accelerating scientific progress.
Strategic Partnerships
Collaborating with forward leaning institutions like,India's Institute of Technology (Kanpur) to validate, develop and deploy breakthrough thorium technologies.
