Power on your timeline
Behind-the-meter power could support capacity before grid reinforcement arrives, subject to fuel, emissions, permits and site approvals.
An alternative path to power
Designed around the needs of AI infrastructure.
The bottleneck is no longer just compute. It is the ability to deliver reliable, scalable electrical power to data-centre sites. Hyper Tech's concept pairs turbine generation with a more direct DC delivery architecture.
Fewer conversion stages
A multi-bus machine with on-machine rectification is intended to shorten the path between generation and 800 V DC loads.
Modular site expansion
Repeatable generator packages offer a potential route to phased campus deployment, with redundancy and energy storage designed into each site.
The CROSSOVER architecture
From jet core to GPU rack.
Rather than treating generation and rack-side power conversion as independent systems, the proposed architecture integrates the electrical machine and rectification around data-centre DC requirements.
01 / ENERGYCFM56-derived coreRetired aero-engine feedstock adapted for stationary generation
02 / CONVERSIONMulti-bus generatorHigh-power-density electrical machine, mechanically coupled to the core
03 / RECTIFYOn-machine power electronicsTarget architecture for independently managed DC outputs
04 / DISTRIBUTEProtected DC busesIsolated 800 V DC feeds, storage and appropriate protection
05 / DELIVERAI data-centre racksPower delivery aligned with rack-facing DC infrastructure
Each installation still requires an engineered electrical protection scheme, safe isolation, UPS/storage strategy, grid-interface decisions where applicable, gas supply, turbine exhaust/emissions compliance, cooling and site approval. The concept does not eliminate these functions.
ConceptTraditional AC path · simplified example
Multiple downstream stages
Generator AC→Switch / transform→UPS→Rectify to DC
Typical infrastructure uses AC distribution and multiple interface stages, with details varying by site and rack design.
Hyper Tech proposed approach
DC from the machine
CFM56 core→Multi-bus generator→Protected 800 V DC
Aims to integrate rectification earlier in the conversion chain, while retaining required protection, backup and safety systems.

A cycle model behind every number.
Each figure on this site traces to Hyper Tech's real-gas cycle model of the CFM56 core, now calibrated against an engine test-cell report, and to a simulation of the skid as designed: generator, DC buses, exhaust loop, rotor stress and shaft transients.

Campus-scale deployment
Build power in modules. Expand as demand grows.
Evaluate a data-centre site from the electrical load backwards: available gas supply, required resilience, generation modules, energy storage and distribution to the racks.
- 15–25 MW per unit is the current proposed generator-package range.
- Use multiple packages to plan phased capacity growth and redundancy.
- Carry auxiliary loads, maintenance reserves and uptime requirements into detailed net-output calculations.
Interactive concept sizing
What could a modular campus look like?
Set a unit count, a site temperature and a configuration. Output per unit comes from the cycle model; this is a planning estimate, not an engineered capacity.

Technology platform
One DC destination. Multiple generation pathways.
The initial commercial development focus is CFM56-derived gas-turbine generation. A fuel-cell pathway is being explored separately with Global Research & Development Inc.
CROSSOVER: turbine-to-DC generation
Adaptation of retired jet cores, integrated electrical-machine design and a multi-bus DC output intended for behind-the-meter AI infrastructure. Detailed net efficiency, availability and operating cost require demonstration and validation.

The company behind the machine
Superconductor and electrical-machine engineering heritage.
Hyper Tech Research was founded in Columbus, Ohio, in 2001. Its existing capability in advanced conductors, coils, high-power-density motors and manufacturing underpins the proposed move into integrated power generation.
This is an extension of the company's engineering portfolio, not a claim that the data-centre generator is already a commercial product. Existing product lines include MgB₂ and Nb₃Sn conductors, coils, and high-power-density machines.
