So people with the technical training and the ability, like you posses, and who can focus on such insights can offer up their ideas on the post.

At GD, I bet I'd only get oohs and aahs.

When articles on electric cars, and free energy capture my attention, I miss living in Silicon Valley, as in my current neighborhood, I don't have science-minded people to help me be more discerning. (Most of my friends from that era have died, due to cancers, but their ideas kept me sane and well informed for such a long time.)

No conventional battery, no gasoline etc. Just whatever it was he did that dragged electricity out of the air.

...it's not going to happen without a lot of academic fanfare. It's just not going to come from a backyard inventor who has no math to support a rewrite of the laws of physics.
