This objective was planned for the final phase of the project, as the results from the previous objectives are needed for its proper implementation. Nonetheless, the injection system is already installed and operational. Additionally, the experimental control system’s foundation has been patented, with the details shown below.

Soon, an experimental campaign will begin to test the optimal frequency parameters calculated numerically, and the success of their implementation will be evaluated. In addition to the formalization of the patent, several upcoming international conferences will focus on explaining its details and the effects obtained from its experimental implementation.
