We're now building ultra-high power density turbogenerators for #defense applications at H3X Technologies 🛡️ The HPDG-12 is a highly integrated 12kWe powerplant solution that weighs only 11kg and is composed of a microturbine and an HPDM-30 with integrated power electronics for stable HVDC output. With two hours of fuel, the energy density of the system is 578 Wh/kg, more than 2.5x higher than current battery systems. The product is perfect for small hybrid applications that want to take advantage of the performance benefits offered by electric propulsion while also leveraging the superior energy density of liquid fuels. Note: We've already successfully tested on JP-10 heavy fuel. Product page in the comments below ⬇️ Here is a picture of the benchtop configuration we've been testing. Shoot me a message if you want more details.

v2 Website Launched ✅ 🚀 Our new website is live! We've radically redesigned the site to better showcase our mission and everything that is happening at H3X. You'll find several new products, which we'll be sharing more details on in the coming weeks. Explore now: https://www.h3x.tech/

We do a lot of electromagnetics design optimization at H3X and JMAG Designer has been an indispensable tool in our arsenal. Some highlights from the recent optimization work being done for our next-gen 180 kW HPDM IMD: - 20,000 optimization cases 🔄 - 40% reduction in full load electromagnetic loss ⚡ - 60 deg C reduction in peak stator temperatures ❄️ - 36% reduction in stator material costs 💸 Shout out to JSOL Corporation and Powersys for being incredible partners in our electromagnetic design process!

H3X has been awarded a $1.9M TACFI contract with the United States Air Force to advance hybrid-electric powerplants for eVTOL aircraft in military operations. We’re excited to build on our successful Phase II work with AFWERX and continue our collaboration. Electrified aircraft have the potential to provide the Air Force with a range of cost-effective crewed and uncrewed aircraft capable of performing new and valuable missions. These aircraft offer operational independence from traditional runways, increased maneuverability, and the ability to operate from decentralized bases. Hybrid-electric propulsion systems, which combine an engine with an electric machine to generate electricity for propulsion, are now making it possible to harness the benefits of electric motors while also leveraging the superior energy density of liquid fuels. This architecture allows for greater range and endurance, while also eliminating the need for charging infrastructure in forward operating locations, further enhancing their operational utility. This ensures that electric aircraft can meet operational requirements for mission success while benefiting from the strengths of both technologies.

Today we are announcing that we have officially closed our $20M Series A funding round! The round was led by Infinite Capital, with participation from Hanwha Asset Management Co., Ltd., Cubit Capital, Origin Ventures, Industrious Ventures, Venn10 Capital, LP, and follow-on investors that include Lockheed Martin, Metaplanet, Liquid 2 Ventures, and TechNexus Venture Collaborative. This funding will primarily be used to: 1. Scale up production and operations to deliver on some very large aerospace and defense contracts in our pipeline. 2. Finish development of our megawatt-class machines. 3. Continue to improve the robustness and reliability of our core technology through endurance, thermal cycling, and accelerated aging testing. We couldn't have reached this point without an amazing group of customers, advisors, investors, partners, and most of all, everyone at H3X. While we're celebrating this milestone, we will not rest on our laurels and will continue to push at a relentless pace towards our mission of becoming the world leader in electric motors to enable sustainable aviation, decarbonize the marine and industrial sectors, and unlock next-generation electrified defense technology.

The HPDM-140 has arrived! 🤘 IPM motor, SiC inverter, DMLS housing with synergistic cooling - all integrated in one mega power-dense package. The images below show the -140 coupled to our HPDM-30 for testing. First customer unit shipped out last week, ahead of schedule!

One of our customers asked us if we could de-integrate our axial inverter and sell it in a standalone package so they could use it to drive some pumps and other loads on their aircraft. We said sure, no problem. Two months later, we’re shipping out the first four HPDI-190s! Here are the notable features: + Silicon Carbide (SiC) three-phase inverter + Continuous Power: 190 kW (at PF=1) + Max Bus Voltage: 450VDC or 800VDC + Max Phase Current: 190 Arms + Mass: 2 kg + Power Density: 95 kW/kg + Peak Efficiency: > 99% + Control Modes: Torque, speed, generator (voltage setpoint) + Integrated common mode filtering If you need an extremely power dense inverter, shoot us a message!

140kW in a 11kg package ⚡ We present the HPDM-140, our most power dense integrated motor drive yet. The HPDM-140 builds off H3X's proprietary core technology and pushes the limits of what's possible with electric machines and power electronics through novel materials, advanced manufacturing technologies, and unparalleled integration. Shipping to select customers in August this year. For full specs, see link in comments. #motors #powerelectronics #aerospace #defense
