About
HyperSciences is a Washington State-based deep-technology company developing projectile-based drilling and penetration systems that use low-cost chemical energy to accelerate consumable projectiles to hypersonic velocities. Its flagship product, HyperDrill, leverages the HyperCore system to break through rock dramatically faster and cheaper than conventional rotary drilling methods, targeting geothermal energy extraction as its primary commercial application. The technology, spun out of extensive R&D into hypervelocity physics, has broader potential applications in aerospace, defense, and civil infrastructure tunneling.
