| HyperSciences | HyperSciences is a platform technology company that solves challenging problems in tunneling, energy drilling, transportation, aerospace, and materials production. By creating an extensive portfolio of patented and patent-pending hypervelocity technologies, HyperSciences develops a product called HyperCore, an efficient commercial launch system.Utilizing artificial intelligence the system first robotically loads and fires objects.The company changes the efficiency and economics of drilling. The company has been partnered with Shell Energy to demonstrate this disruptive technology. It uses low-cost chemical energy to accelerate consumable projectiles to hypersonic velocities, allowing projectiles upon impact to break and pulverize hard rock faster, deeper, and through a wider range of conditions. It uses this same HyperCore technology to create the Hyper Tunneling Boring and Mining system (HTBM), replacing conventional tunneling methods which typically are slow, and significant capital expense. In most cases, each consumable projectile removes over half a ton of rock per impact. When applied to deep geothermal energy, the drilling system allows for low-cost access to deep energy. The "Energy Anywhere"​ geothermal system generates power by quickly and efficiently reaching untapped geothermal resources and converting it into electrical energy that will cause a significant paradigm change in renewable, clean energy. In 2018 HyperSciences secured a contract with NASA by applying the key components of HyperCore's automated system in order to launch payloads to high-altitudes at extreme velocity. By lowering the cost for hypersonic vehicle development and a new type of stealth program, the system is prepared to support USA government contracts in the aerospace community.HyperSciences was founded in 2014 and is based in Austin, Texas. |  | Series A | Nov 21, 2018 | http://www.hypersciences.com/ |
