You CS types need to take an E+M class!!!! If you're lucky enough to still be
in school and you're really interested, go for it.  A lot of what you 
discussed comes perilously close to Perpetual Motion!  (Especially the 
DC transmission line stuff - you'd have to put as much energy into the motor
as you got out of the coil....)  If you want free power, buy a nice little
house on a acre of land near a creek in the Appalachians, the Adirondacks,
the Rockies, the Sierras, the Cascades, etc. and install your own hydro plant.
I have a friend in the Adirondacks who does just that and has the power
company BUY the extra electricity back!  Plus he has something to tinker with
on those long weekends....

Have fun!
