American Fusion(TM) Inc. (AMFN) Appoints Strategic Advisor as the Company Expands Scientific and IP Platform
- American Fusion has added Texas Tech physicist Dr. Noah D’Amico as a Strategic Advisor.
- D’Amico’s work includes nuclear diagnostics, neutron detection, radiation measurement, vacuum systems and AI-assisted particle-track analysis.
- The company has also filed six additional U.S. patent applications, bringing its total U.S. applications to 82.
- American Fusion(TM) has begun testing its Texatron(TM) platform at Texas Tech University after completing initial laboratory preparations and verifying its remote ignition system.
- The next testing phase is expected to examine subsystems including plasma and magnetic-field control, ignition, fuel delivery and electronic components.
American Fusion(TM) (OTC: AMFN), a developer of next-generation fusion energy technologies, is expanding its scientific team and intellectual property portfolio as it moves its Texatron(TM) Fusion Engine(TM) program into a more active testing phase. The company recently appointed Dr. Noah D’Amico, a physicist and engineer at Texas Tech University, as a Strategic Advisor (https://nnw.fm/eA8ku). The appointment comes as American Fusion(TM) prepares additional Texatron(TM) evaluations at Texas Tech and seeks to strengthen the diagnostics and engineering capabilities surrounding the program.
D’Amico continues his work at Texas Tech and BlankSlate Innovation while advising American Fusion(TM). His technical background includes nuclear diagnostics, neutron detection, radiation measurements, vacuum-system design and AI-based analysis of CR-39 nuclear particle tracks. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from Texas Tech in 2026. His dissertation focused on detection and materials advances for next-generation nuclear systems under the direction of Dr. Robert V. Duncan.
The company says D’Amico will support laboratory preparation, experimental planning, radiation diagnostics, instrumentation, data collection, measurement protocols and technical documentation associated with Texatron(TM) testing. That work is particularly important as the company transitions from engineering preparation toward the generation of experimental data.
American Fusion(TM) began its Texatron(TM) testing program at Texas Tech University in late July after completing initial laboratory preparations and verifying its remote ignition system. The company said its team also inspected the laboratory environment and evaluated the platform’s operational readiness. The testing program follows a regulatory step completed earlier in July. The Texas Department of State Health Services issued American Fusion(TM) a Certificate of Registration for Industrial Radiation Machines covering research and development activities involving registered Texatron(TM) systems at the company’s approved Texas Tech location. The registration is effective through February 2034.
The company had previously outlined plans to use specialized instrumentation to measure characteristics such as plasma temperature, plasma density, fusion reaction rates, neutron activity, voltage generation and power output.
On August 6, American Fusion(TM) announced six additional U.S. patent applications, bringing its total number of U.S. applications to 82. The new filings cover technologies including fusion confinement devices, rifled toroidal chambers, electronic pulse control and broader fusion-system architectures (https://nnw.fm/DSTNb).
The patent strategy is intended to protect components of the Texatron(TM) platform rather than a single device configuration. The company says its applications address areas including reactor architecture, plasma confinement, electromagnetic systems, fuel delivery, reactor control and power management.
That approach reflects the potential importance of intellectual property in a fusion market where commercial systems may ultimately compete not only on physics but also on manufacturability, system architecture, control technologies, and energy-conversion methods.
American Fusion’s(TM) platform is being developed as an aneutronic fusion system. In conventional deuterium-tritium fusion concepts such as tokamaks, energy is largely carried by neutrons, requiring substantial attention to neutron shielding and materials degradation. Aneutronic approaches seek to produce a greater proportion of their useful energy through charged particles, potentially allowing direct conversion of particle energy into electricity rather than relying exclusively on a conventional thermal cycle. The engineering requirements, however, remain demanding, and the commercial relevance of American Fusion’s(TM) approach will depend on what its testing ultimately demonstrates.
The company is developing a 5MW pre-production Texatron(TM) system as part of this process. Earlier in 2026, American Fusion(TM) reported that fabrication partners in central Texas, had completed the structural frame for the unit, with the structure designed to accommodate wiring, controls, diagnostics, shielding and associated systems.
The company’s roadmap is also broader than a single 5MW prototype. Its Texas registration identifies multiple Texatron(TM) configurations, ranging from smaller research systems to models listed at 75MW, 100MW, 250MW, 500MW and 1GW. That scalability is central to American Fusion’s(TM) commercial thesis. Rather than positioning the technology solely as a laboratory experiment, the company is pursuing an infrastructure-grade platform that could eventually serve industrial facilities, data centers, defense applications and other customers requiring reliable power.
The next phase of testing is expected to examine subsystem performance, including control systems, ignition, fuel systems, plasma and magnetic-field control, electronic components and specialized diagnostic equipment. American Fusion(TM) says engineering and diagnostic information will be reviewed before technical updates are released.
The company is also pursuing corporate-market development initiatives, including its Form 211 application. It says it has responded to what it believes is the final round of comments and is awaiting further action toward potential eligibility for quotation on the OTCQB Market, subject to OTC Markets requirements.
