Context
HYLENR (Hyderabad Low Energy Nuclear Reactor) a start-up based in Hyderabad, has demonstrated the potential of cold fusion technology to generate clean energy.
Cold Fusion Technology
- HYLENR’s Approach: Utilizes Low Energy Nuclear Reactions, combining small amounts of hydrogen with minimal electricity to generate excess heat through fusion.
Nuclear Fusion
- Process: Merging two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, releasing substantial energy, akin to the reactions powering stars like the sun.
- Common Reaction: Uses hydrogen isotopes (deuterium and tritium) to produce helium, a neutron, and a significant amount of energy.
