Answer 3

I am currently working on John Bedini's Simplified School Girl Energizer.  It is doing what it's supposed to be doing which is fully charging 4-5 batteries with just 1 battery.  I am in the process of modifying the contraption to connect to my house's grid system so I can save electricity.  

I've also found out that the system can produce HHO through electrolysis since the pulses (you'll know what I'm talking about after going through the links below) generated are pretty high voltages.  This is my next project.

The second link is a list of all alternative energy devices that you could think of.  

Have fun and goodluck!

Answer 4

Corn has some interesting applications for fuel and generating heat.  This is an interesting article for home heating:

Answer 5

There is no alternative energy source that will replace oil, however coal is the next most abundant, and cost efficient, with similar energy properties as fossil oil.

Solar, wind, ethanol are energy sources, but are very limited, and will never even come close to replacing oil.
