About this episode
Amateur radio pioneer Wayne Green returns to discuss developments in ham radio technology, cold fusion research claims, and emerging alternative energy technologies. Green updates listeners on recent advances in amateur radio equipment, digital communication protocols, and the hobby's continuing role in emergency communications and technological innovation. The conversation covers Green's investigation into cold fusion research and his engineering assessment of various free energy and over-unity device proposals being promoted in alternative science circles. Green applies his extensive technical expertise to evaluate extraordinary energy claims while maintaining healthy skepticism about devices that appear to violate established physical laws. The discussion explores legitimate research into alternative energy sources and the significant challenges involved in distinguishing genuine scientific breakthroughs from fraudulent or delusional claims. Green shares observations about the amateur radio community's historical contributions to scientific research and technological development over several decades of innovation. The conversation examines how radio amateurs have pioneered communication technologies later adopted by commercial and military users worldwide. Green's combination of practical engineering experience and scientific skepticism provides valuable perspective on evaluating revolutionary technology claims and distinguishing genuine innovation from promotional schemes targeting amateur inventors and researchers.
