Texatron Testing Begins In Texas

The company said on Wednesday that it has started its planned Texatron testing program at Texas Tech University following the successful completion of initial laboratory preparations and verification of the remote ignition system.

American Fusion said that its seven-member team completed its first day of testing, including inspection of the laboratory facilities, verification of instrumentation and system interfaces, and evaluation of the Texatron platform’s operational readiness.

The Texatron remote ignition system, which is designed to provide precise and safe initiation of the experimental plasma pulse sequence to allow remote operation, was also verified, marking an important engineering step. 

The company said that it expects testing to continue throughout the week and to include additional subsystem verification, calibration, engineering measurements, diagnostics, and experimental evaluations, subject to laboratory scheduling and operational readiness. 

Dr. John E. Brandenburg, CTO of American Fusion and inventor of the Texatron, said in a statement, “After nearly a decade of research and development, it is tremendously rewarding to begin the process of experimentally evaluating the technology our team has worked so hard to develop. Today’s successful completion of our initial engineering objectives represents an important step as we transition from preparation to systematic testing.”

“As experimental data becomes available, it will be carefully analyzed, independently checked, and internally reviewed before being released,” he added.
