A lot more detail is emerging about Defkalion Green Technologies’ Hyperion Low Energy Nuclear reaction heating device. Long time alternative energy enthusiast Sterling D. Allan of the Pure Energy Systems blog just traveled the company’s offices in Greece to inspect their work.
Allan braved civil unrest in Greece that included riots to see the work going on there. Even though he has a close association with Andrea Rossi Allan was very impressed with Hyperion and Defkalion which is planning to begin third party testing of its device soon. Among other things he noted:
- The Hyperion is a 5-45 kilowatt modular heat reactor. That means it can produce between five and 45 kilowatts of heat.
- The heat comes from a nickel hydrogen reaction similar to Andrea Rossi’s ecat.
- The device will require refueling every six months much like ecat will.
Allan reports that testing of Hyperion by the Greek government will begin next week. That will be followed by testing of the device by six other independent organizations. He noted that each group will test the devices for 48 hours and compare their operations to a control. Allan did not reveal who the other groups will be.
That’s very exciting because as far as I know it will be the first public independent testing of LENR devices. It is also good to see a government involved in this kind of work. The testers will be able to use their own measuring equipment which is another hopeful sign.

Allan was able to see the Hyperion test device up and running. He reported that it had a test chamber and a reaction chamber. He noted that Defkalion’s scientists have found that gamma radiation is coming from the chamber which indicates that a nuclear reaction is taking place. The device will be shielded to protect users from the radiation.
Defkalion is apparently able to control this reaction which is what allows it make heat. That could indicate that they have some understanding of what is going inside the device.
Allan also noted that Defkalion is planning to announce the awarding of 18 
licenses which would allow companies to manufacture and sell its technology. Each license will cost about 40.5 million Euros which is around $53 million apiece in US money. That means the contracts could be worth $954 million or nearly $1 billion US. It would around €729 in Europe so Defkalion could have a lot of money to play around with if the plan works out.
Allan reported that Defkalion is planning to go public and issue stock. He said Defkalion executives had told him that they are planning an initial public offering which means they will be public. He didn’t state what exchange they will be traded on.There is no date for this or the release of the Hyperion device to the public, although Defkalion has apparently completed all of the required safety testing on the device.
Some basic facts about Hyperion include:
The device has 9 reactors in it.
- The reaction chambers can produce temperatures of up to 900 degrees Celsius that is more than enough temperature to produce steam to run a steam engine.
- The reaction begins at 450 degrees Celsius.
- The device uses oil to transfer heat to make it useful.
Alexandros Xanthoulis
Hyperion CEO Alexandros Xanthoulis told Allan that the Nickel Age is about to begin. Kudos to Mr. Allan for having an open mind and having the courage to go to Greece and investigate this important story that the so called journalists in the mainstream media refuse to have anything to do with!!
I can’t wait. I am eagerly awaiting to see what happens.
Peace!
I hope this isn’t another disappointment in a long line of hype and broken promises of break throughs in “cold Fusion”. Rossi has been telling us for months now that he’s ready to start production of devices to be used to heat our homes. Enough already!!! If you have a working model then unvail it to the established scientific community. At this point no one cares exactly what’s causing the reaction, all we want to know for sure is: Is it real, i.e. can it be measured-Can it be controlled-Can it be sustained for long periods of time. Meet these three goals and the world will beat down your door with whatever funds you need to take the next step!!!!!!!!!
J-dog you should send it to Rossi. I agree I want to see the unit. At least Defkalion is willing to call Dick Smith on his bluff. They have revealed it and are asking people to start testing next week.
To the CEO of HYPERE,ON,
I inform you of the possibility of downloading Belgian patents having publication numbers BE1002780 and BE1002781 relating to LANR in gasphase
from the e-Cat Site under the title: Belgian LANR patents, that may interest you as alternatives to the hydrogen-nickel system. Said patents as patent application have been scrutinized by the Belgian Ministry of Defense and their publication has been blocked for 2 years after filing, so no further filings have been possible. The patents are meanwhile no longer in force.
Original documents (in Flemish) can be downloaded through European ESPACENET Advanced Search.
The inventor
I hope everyone realises that the Hyperion is infinately better than the E-Cat, because it can be used to generate an infinate COP. Nickel used in the LENR exothermic reaction is about half a million times more energy dense as oil, and hooked up to a steam turbine it would produce enough electricity (the gold standard of energy) to not only supply itself, but with plenty to spare at a cost I estimate as too cheap to meter.
In other words, the Hyperion can be substituted for coal or natural gas in industrial production of electricity from steam turbines. This is much more important as an immediate factor in energy prices than the E-Cat and home heating.
Definitely agree.
I’ve done calculations on these devices. If they are getting the gains they claim to be getting, the benefits are beyond comprehension for many applications.
You can do everything from power trains, planes, ships, automobiles, factories, homes, etc, and literally for pennies per HUNDRED dollars in oil or coal.
Particularly if the Hyperion is already able to generate a closed circuit to provide it’s own input power from the generator, then you will have little or no need for “grid” power. You can charge a few back-up batteries for use on start-up and you are good to go. This will be like the portable fusion reactor you see Luke use on Star Wars episode 5.
1 mol worth of nickel fuel plus 1 mol worth of hydrogen should produce at least as much energy as 4800 gallons (18000 liters) of gasoline.
That is only the first step in the supposed Nickel-Copper chain the devices allegedly use. If you run the reaction to completion, which should take about 5 mol hydrogen per 1 mol Nickel, it should produce nearly 5 times that much energy…from 1 mol of Nickel…
There will be some losses due to carnot efficiency, but then again, ICE engines are mostly only 30% efficient in autos, and even worse in small engines.
Now it will be up to these inventors to prove their devices actually work.
I gather that if the entire system as a whole is just 10% efficient (see below) then 1 mol of nickle and 1 mol of hydrogen should power a house at a 4kw power consumption rate for 6 months, but if taken to completion, requiring about 5 mol hydrogen, may extend to nearly 2.5 years!
Source of losses in heat:
1) This reaction on some of the isotope chains produces Cobalt and Zinc, which may be endothermic, producing some losses.
2) Bad insulation, thermal radiation, etc. Normal “engine” stuff.
3) startup/shutdown times are a waste of energy
4) Carnot efficiency is applied to net gains after 1 and 2 above.
So anyway, if the entire “system” including the steam? generator is 10% efficient then as stated, 1 mol hydrogen plus 1 mol Nickel will make 4kw per hour non stop for 6 months (exactly 182 days) just from the first step in the potentially 5 step chain.
This means one fuel cartridge, is potentially worth about $2000 worth of grid-equivalent power, even at just 10% efficient.
If you are using it in a way that the “waste heat” does useful work, like heating your bathing water and climate control, then you will get WAY more benefits out of it, and may be able to stretch the lifetime for several years on one fuel cartridge.
Yes, it’s that powerful, at least theoretically.
Also, larger engines tend to be more efficient. The potential applications in the shipping industry is unthinkable, since you could ship payloads across the ocean for a few dollars worth of Nickel and hydrogen fuels, instead of millions of dollars in fuel.
I am glad for Greece and Italy. Innovation here in the U$A is squashed when it threatens profits of the giant oil and coal companies. If Tesla had not been thwarted with his project to provide energy to any point on the globe, there would be no energy crisis today. LENR, as good as it is, is nothing compared to what Tesla had in mind and was well on his way to providing when J.P. Morgan pulled the plug. Anyway, kudos to all the scientist/engineers who carried on with LENR research in the face of intense opposition.
Take a look at today’s post. There’s an American company that could be further ahead than the Greeks and the Italians. As for Tesla if he had been right somebody would have built the thing by now. I agree with you we should congratulate guys like Robert Godes. Of course if he’s right Godes will have more money than Bill Gates and Warren Buffett put together in a decade or so.
Thanks a lot for sharing this with all people you really realize what you’re speaking approximately! Bookmarked. Please also discuss with my web site =). We can have a link exchange contract among us
