  • That's a wrap for Reindustrialize! Incredible event with incredible people. We showed some of the new products we've been cooking up in the lab. 1. HPDG-30 - 30kW (40hp) hybrid powerplant 2. HPDM-90S - 90kW (120hp) submerged propulsor 3. HPDM-180 - 180kW (242hp) integrated motor drive 4. HPDM-500-2X - 1MW (1341hp) integrated motor drive Thank you to everyone who stopped by!

  • We've been heads-down focused on execution: build, test, ship, repeat. This past week, H3X signed its 20th customer. Every new program reminds us how wide the aperture is for high power-density motors -- aircraft, ships, auvs, ground vehicles, and platforms we couldn't have imagined when we started this company. Our production pipeline behind these programs is stronger than ever, and we're gearing up to support the ramp. H3X is building the next great American electric motor company to power the future of aerospace, defense, and marine. If that mission resonates, come build with us!

  • We're excited to pull back the curtain on our HPDG-30 hybrid powerplant in the latest issue of Uncrewed Systems Technology. We go deep in the weeds on the tech and why this product is a key enabler for unlocking more payload and range for unmanned systems. Gen 1 benchtop systems are shipping to select customers now. The flightworthy version will be available later this year. Huge thanks to Rory Jackson for the excellent writeup. 👇 Link to the full article in the comments

    📦 HPDG-30 SN2 is crated up and ready to ship to its first customer! We’ve accumulated ~60 hours of runtime at max continuous power on our hybrid genset and are increasing endurance daily as part of our reliability buildup. Measured Performance: - Electrical Power Out: 25kW electrical out at 5900ft (29.7kW equivalent at sea level) - Specific Fuel Consumption at max power: 624 g/kWhr - SFC at 10kW (optimal): 485 g/kWhr - Fuel Burn at max power: 5.95 gal/hr This aligns closely with our design model, and measured SFC is actually better than predicted 🤘 Next phase: Transitioning to the flightworthy config. The two external cabinets were intentionally oversized for R&D flexibility - our production-intent electronics architecture consolidates that functionality into a single 7" × 7" integrated PCBA.

  • Over the past few months, we have seen demand skyrocket for compact megawatt-class diesel gensets across marine and industrial markets - driven by US shipbuilding initiatives, mobile AI datacenters, and oil & gas. In response, H3X is developing a modular 2MW genset system built around our HPDM-500 generators and a custom developed gearbox. Our first implementation is with a CAT C32B engine, but the system can bolt up to any engine from 500kW to 2MW with an SAE 0 interface. Key value adds: ✅ Compact footprint: C32B system is ~9 ft shorter than conventional gensets at this power level - critical for hybridized ships where weight and space matter ✅ Native high-voltage HVDC output (600–800 VDC): Integrated power electronics provide direct DC output, eliminating standalone rectifier cabinets and reducing conversion losses (~99% efficient). This architecture is well-suited for modern DC-distribution systems, including emerging 800 V-class data center platforms. ✅ Fault-tolerant architecture: The multisector design of the HPDM-500 enables graceful degradation and continued operation in the event of component-level faults—critical for mission-critical marine and industrial applications. If you’re building hybridized ships or industrial power systems and need turnkey high-density power generation, send us a message.

  • H3X Technologies reposted this

    Was digging through the archives and came across one of our earliest integrated inverter designs (circa 2021) (motor core not shown) This was a radially mounted ~250 kW 3ph inverter that used SiC power modules, a low-inductance DC link with custom film capacitors, and a distributed three-board architecture. It was a solid design that worked well for our needs at the time, but we ultimately ended up shifting to an axially-mounted inverter architecture for several reasons - most notably a significant reduction in size (see last image for reference). If you're a power electronics engineer and want to work on advanced inverter technology like this, shoot me a DM. We're hiring🤘 For context: we’re now 10+ generations ahead of this design, and our current inverters look nothing like this. No longer considered core IP.
