American Fusion Inc. Expands U.S. Patent Portfolio with Six New Filings Amid Texatron™ Fusion Engine Development

American Fusion Inc. (OTC: AMFN), the developer of the proprietary Texatron™ Fusion Engine™, announced the filing of six new United States patent applications, further expanding its intellectual property portfolio. These recent filings bring the company's total U.S. patent applications to 82, underscoring its commitment to protecting innovations across multiple facets of its fusion technology platform.

The six patent applications, filed between July 26 and July 30, 2026, cover various aspects of the Texatron™ Fusion Engine™ including reactor architecture, plasma confinement, electromagnetic systems, fuel delivery, reactor control, and power management. The specific filings are:

- U.S. Serial No. 19/754,260 (filed July 26, 2026): Fusion Confinement Device with Rifled Toroidal Chamber and Electronic Pulse Controller

- U.S. Serial No. 19/755,767 (filed July 27, 2026): Unitary Fusion Confinement Device with Rifled Toroidal Chamber

- U.S. Serial No. 19/755,778 (filed July 27, 2026): Clamshell Fusion Confinement Device with Rifled Toroidal Chamber

- U.S. Serial No. 19/755,781 (filed July 27, 2026): Unitary Fusion Confinement Device with Electronic Pulse Control

- U.S. Serial No. 19/758,937 (filed July 30, 2026): Rifled Toroidal Fusion System Architecture

- U.S. Serial No. 19/760,554 (filed July 30, 2026): Unitary Rifled Toroidal Fusion System Architecture

Michael G. Smith, Chief Legal Officer of American Fusion, emphasized the strategic importance of these filings: "The filing of these six additional patent applications brings our portfolio to 82 United States patent applications and reflects the systematic approach we have taken to protecting the innovations underlying the Texatron™ platform. Each application addresses a unique aspect of the technology, and together they continue to strengthen what we believe will become one of the industry's most comprehensive intellectual property portfolios supporting compact fusion energy.”

In parallel with its intellectual property efforts, American Fusion is advancing the next phase of its Texatron™ testing program at Texas Tech University. Building on data and insights from initial testing phases, the company’s scientific and engineering teams are preparing for evaluations targeting subsystem verification, control systems, ignition systems, fuel systems, plasma and magnetic field control, electronic components, and calibration of specialized testing equipment.

Dewight Cartwright, Chief Operating Officer, highlighted the ongoing engineering progress: "Our engineering team continues to make steady progress as we prepare for the next phase of testing. Every round of testing allows us to verify system performance, improve our understanding of the platform, and refine both our equipment and testing procedures. The work currently underway is focused on building a strong engineering foundation that supports the long-term development of the Texatron™ platform.”

Chief Technology Officer Dr. John E. Brandenburg added, "Developing advanced energy technology requires a disciplined and methodical engineering process. Each phase of testing provides valuable technical information that helps guide subsequent phases of development. We remain encouraged by the progress being made and look forward to continuing the systematic evaluation of the Texatron™ platform as we expand the scope of our testing activities.”

American Fusion plans to provide further updates on its intellectual property portfolio, engineering milestones, regulatory initiatives, and testing outcomes as the development program advances.

Founded as an advanced energy platform company, American Fusion Inc. focuses on the development and commercialization of next-generation fusion energy technologies. Its Texatron™ Fusion Engine™ is an aneutronic fusion platform designed for modular deployment across industrial, commercial, defense, and grid-constrained applications. The company’s strategy emphasizes system-level engineering, disciplined intellectual property protection, scalable architectures, capital discipline, and transparent corporate governance.
