Founder and CEO of @Hyliion - NYSE American: $HYLN. Producing electricity for data centers and military applications

Did you know 1 of these units could power a Home Depot and 2 could power a full Walmart… That’s the scale of Hyliion’s KARNO Power Module. This unit is currently in the middle of assembly, with the KARNO core, power electronics, air intake, and cooling system all being built into one self-contained system. Once complete, the process is simple: - Input fuel. - Get electricity out.

One piece of advice I wish I had when I started? You’re not going to be able to predict the journey. When I founded Hyliion, we started as an electric vehicle company in Pittsburgh. Today, we’re in Austin, focused on power generation, and going after one of the biggest infrastructure opportunities of our lifetime: AI data centers. You can have a clear vision for where you want to go, but the path to get there will almost always surprise you.

Hyliion just shared a look at the KARNO™ Power Module’s full startup sequence, from cold start to fully operational in a matter of minutes. One operator can run the entire process with ease and has full visibility into each phase as the system ramps up. Watch the startup:

Is the KARNO™ system truly fuel agnostic? The short answer: yes. It uses heat to create motion, which means that heat can come from diesel, natural gas, hydrogen, propane, and other fuel sources. The unit behind me is the first KARNO™ system capable of running on both gaseous and liquid fuels, and we’re currently operating it on diesel. That flexibility is a core part of what makes the KARNO™ technology so exciting.

How are we getting ready to scale manufacturing? I’d like to introduce Darrell, who recently joined Hyliion to lead our operations. Right now, the team is actively building out our in-house operations capabilities across every part of the process: - Assembly. - Print operations. - Machining. - Electromechanical assembly. - Battery operations - Harness builds. - Testing. As we prepare to ramp up KARNO production, the focus is on building the operational foundation needed to scale efficiently, reliably, and right here in-house.

Sudden power demand can break generators, but Hyliion's KARNO™ tech is designed to handle fast load shifts. Transient response is one of the most critical capabilities any power system can have, especially for energy intensive applications like data centers, where a slow reaction means power instability or lost output. We just put KARNO tech to the test in the lab, running it through exactly this scenario. I'm excited to share how easily the system handled load steps. Watch it here 👇

I’m holding one of the parts inside our KARNO Power Module... This was 3D printed, just like many of the components inside KARNO. Why does that matter? Because additive manufacturing lets us completely rethink how we build heat exchangers. Inside this part, inlet air moves through one set of passageways while exhaust gas moves the other way, allowing us to reach efficiencies that weren’t possible before. All thanks to 3D printing!

I get this question all the time… The hardest obstacle is access to capital. And honestly, it’s a challenge almost every founder faces. You need capital to scale, hire the right people, and keep hitting milestones. For us, we bootstrapped in the beginning. I put in personal cash, then we started reaching key milestones, entered business plan competitions, and raised non-dilutive capital, which was huge. But eventually, we had to go out and raise money from investors. That capital is what helped get us to where we are today.

How much force does it take to move the KARNO piston? About 4,000 pounds, that’s roughly the weight of an elephant. Most people see a piston and think fuel is exploding to push it down. That’s NOT how KARNO works. Inside the system, gas is heated, expands, and applies about 4,000 pounds of force to the piston. That force moves the piston, and that motion produces electricity

When a Congressional hearing on NASA's budget turns into a discussion on Stirling engines and linear generators in space, it points to where power generation is heading and the potential of our KARNO™ technology.

Why is KARNO based on the Stirling engine? Because it uses one of the best thermodynamic cycles. The Stirling engine was invented nearly 200 years ago, and even then, it was recognized as an incredibly efficient way to produce power. The challenge? For 200 years, it’s been extremely difficult to actually build and commercialize. That’s where additive manufacturing changes the equation. By using 3D printing, we’re able to bring this technology to life in a way that wasn’t possible before, unlocking a highly efficient way to produce electricity.
