Bob Bruninga, WB4APR, has had a lifelong interest in energy as well as Amateur Radio. In addition to developing the Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS), his interest in energy technology has led him to embrace home solar, electric vehicles, heat pumps, and other advances that have greatly reduced his family’s energy costs while providing a new appreciation for how they all work together at high voltage DC for a whole new approach to emergency power.
