American Fusion Inc. has completed the initial phase of laboratory testing for its Texatron Fusion Engine. The company announced the milestone, marking the transition of its technology from engineering development into hands-on evaluation under controlled laboratory conditions. The first round of tests was carried out at the Center for Emerging Energy Sciences within the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Texas Tech University. Engineers and researchers evaluated key subsystems, instrumentation, and high-voltage operation of the experimental platform. While the tests did not demonstrate sustained nuclear fusion or net energy production, they represent an early engineering milestone as the company prepares for more advanced phases of development.
