Texatron
Kepler's compact toroidal fusion platform — the latest in the TRISOPS/CMTX lineage.
01 Definition
02 Detailed_Analysis
Texatron is Kepler Fusion Technologies' compact toroidal fusion platform — a fast-pulsed torsatron using D-He3 aneutronic fuel. Directly descended from the TRISOPS (1960) → CMTX (1997) colliding toroid lineage. 20+ 'clam-shell' patent applications filed; ~240 more in development. Texas Tech testing (July 29-31, 2026) validated subsystems only; explicitly 'did not demonstrate sustained nuclear fusion or net energy production.'
