Eric Hermanson

Intelligence Summary: Eric Hermanson

Node Identity: Eric Hermanson is a physicist and enterprise software architect with formal training in nuclear engineering (BSE Engineering Physics, University of Michigan, 1992; MS Nuclear Engineering, MIT, 1994). He straddles two worlds: a two-decade career in defense and Fortune 500 software consulting, and an independent research program in advanced propulsion physics conducted in collaboration with Richard Banduric's Field Propulsion Technologies (FPT).

Education and Software Career: Hermanson's nuclear engineering background from MIT (Course 22) provides the theoretical foundation for his physics research. His professional career has been primarily in enterprise software: he led a $30M software engineering practice at Daugherty Business Solutions with 125 consultants across Fortune 500 clients, managed Agile teams at Edward Jones serving 8M+ investors, and held senior engineering roles at Express Scripts, Walgreens, Monsanto, and Charter Communications. He founded two ventures: Peace: The Final Frontier and Digital Universe Corporation, and served on the Board of Advisors for Priza Technologies, Inc.

Physics Research (last 10+ years): Hermanson has surveyed novel physical theories published over the last quarter-century, with a focus on advanced propulsion and gravity-related physics. His collaboration with Banduric centers on:

• Electric field interactions from charged isolated elements in relative motion
• Lorentz contraction of electric charges and resulting field intensity changes
• Propellantless propulsion via relativistic electric field differences
• The Banduric "field-effect" model and its relationship to Extended Electrodynamics (EED)

He presented at APEC (Advanced Propulsion and Energy Conference) on December 5, 2020, covering Alzofon NMR propulsion, superconductive antigravity, the Banduric field-effect model, and gyroscopic inertial propulsion. He also participated in Morningstar Energy Box Q&A sessions with Murad, Brandenburg, and Van Durek.

Public Commentary and Social Media: Hermanson is an active public commentator on fusion energy, directed energy weapons, UAP programs, and government technology policy. His social media activity (750+ posts from August 2026 onwards) covers American Fusion Inc. (AMFN) investment thesis, Field Propulsion Technologies updates, UAP/UFO disclosure developments, and criticism of government secrecy around advanced energy technologies. He has shared voicemail recordings and voice messages from individuals connected to the advanced propulsion and UAP communities.

Evidence Calibration:

• ESTABLISHED: Education (UMich, MIT), software consulting career, APEC presentations, collaboration with Banduric on propellantless propulsion
• ESTABLISHED: Public commentary on fusion, directed energy, and UAP topics
• SPECULATIVE: Field-effect propulsion validity (no independent replication)
• SPECULATIVE: Any connection between Hermanson's public commentary and classified programs

Campaign B Update (R1019-R1028)

Additional Findings:

• APEC presentation alongside Banduric and Brandenburg (December 2020)
• Nuclear engineering background: BSE Engineering Physics (University of Michigan 1992), MS Nuclear Engineering (MIT 1994)
• 1998 bankruptcy: net worth from $9.5M (1993) to negative $4.3M (1998), $13.8M swing
• Bankruptcy court denied discharge — failed to maintain adequate records and explain asset losses
• Mobile trading platform inventor (acquired by ICE), Lead Software Architect at ICE
• Public presentations (2020, 2021) — willing to put name behind work
• Specific technical knowledge: Lorentz contraction, inertial frames, field-effect propulsion
• 2027 energy prediction consistent with BLP and Brillouin timelines
• Credibility assessment: credible technical witness with caveats
