FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 15, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- American Fusion Inc., a developer of advanced fusion-energy technology, has announced significant progress in its Texatron™ fusion-energy research. The company’s technical team conducted a series of experiments that demonstrated the potential for generating hotter and denser toroidal plasmas using a pulsed magnetic-field configuration.
According to Dr. John E. Brandenburg, Chief Technology Officer of American Fusion Inc., the latest experiments were highly successful.
The experiments involved the use of high-voltage capacitor banks to generate short-duration, high-intensity pulsed magnetic fields. These fields were designed to rapidly compress or implode a toroidal plasma. The results showed that the pulsed magnetic-field configuration produced plasmas that were both hotter and denser than those generated in the company’s earlier high-current experiments. Importantly, the resulting toroidal plasma structures remained stable against significant magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities during the experimental pulse.
These findings support two key elements of the Texatron™ development concept: rapid magnetic compression can produce increasingly hot and dense toroidal plasmas, and the toroidal structure can remain organized during the compression event. Dr.
The company also noted that the experimental sessions were independently observed by Fabrice David, who confirmed the results reported from these test sessions.
American Fusion Inc. is developing the Texatron™ around a pulsed approach to fusion, rather than attempting to maintain plasma continuously for extended periods. The company’s concept involves using deuterium and helium-3 (D-³He) as fusion fuels. The principal D-³He reaction releases most of its fusion energy in energetic charged particles. The company’s proposed direct magnetic-to-electric energy-conversion system aims to convert fusion energy into electricity electromagnetically, potentially reducing reliance on the conventional heat → steam → turbine → generator cycle used by most thermal power plants.
The next phase of testing will focus on characterizing plasma temperature, density, magnetic-field strength, compression behavior, confinement time, and stability, while continuing development toward D-³He fusion-relevant operating conditions. Travis Yakimishyn, who has assumed the new role of Senior Electrical Engineer, will focus on the design, development, testing, and advancement of electrical and technical solutions supporting the Texatron™ platform.
The company’s development strategy emphasizes system-level engineering, disciplined intellectual-property protection, and scalable architectures intended to support long-term commercial operation. Brent Nelson, Executive Chairman of American Fusion Inc., expressed optimism about the future of the Texatron™ development and testing program.
