Regardless, these are natural resources tranformed into a useable energy.
When I
used the term "free" above, I was referring to the fact that if used,
someone will
sell it to you. Also, efficiency and volume is the key that makes energy
usable.
Heck, I could put a water-wheel in line with my toilet drain and drive a
charging
circuit every time I flushed and this might be very efficient but could
never meet
my power requirements.

Yes,  this is likely and I agree. But other than selling them and using
them for
fascination, I have seen no other uses except in the field of study.

I also am one who is continuously amazed at Tesla's genius. His work and
notes has
shown me that Tesla was a pure engineer with amazing talents and creative
thinking.
