Debunked Sabine Hossenfelder's Review of the Holcomb Energy System (HES)
Summary
Sabine Hossenfelder critically reviews and debunks the Holcomb Energy System (HES), a claimed overunity solid-state device. She analyzes the theoretical claims involving electron spins, ferromagnetism, zero point energy, and quantum exchange forces, explaining why these concepts don't support the claimed energy generation. The review covers magnetic induction, Faraday's laws, back torque, Lenz's law, and ambient fluctuation energy, concluding that HES violates established physics principles. The discussion also touches on related legal proceedings involving BNK Energy.
