About Hydrastorm Technologies

Hydrastorm Technologies Ltd is a Plymouth-based marine technology company focused on propulsion research and development.

​

Our first programme, MPVXX, was supported through Innovate UK and investigated how internal flow management and controlled geometry can influence propulsion behaviour within compact marine systems.

​

Founded by former Royal Navy Chief Petty Officer Marc Reffell, Hydrastorm combines operational experience with practical engineering, experimentation and evidence-led development.

MPVXX

Following completion of its initial Innovate UK-funded proof-of-concept phase, Hydrastorm is progressing CFD correlation, prototype optimisation and open-water validation. The company’s patent-pending propulsion architecture is being developed for autonomous, specialist and compact marine platforms requiring adaptable performance from a common propulsion system.
