1) Only on the very lowest setting. Heat can mess with the product.
2) Well, yes, but there's something you need to know that most people don't know: making more than a little bit of power yourself is far from easy. Imagine for a moment that you put an ordinary compact car into neutral, took off the emergency brake, and then pushed it along the road for thirty miles using nothing but your own muscles. Think of the amount of muscular energy you'd have to put into that task. That much energy -- all that sweat and effort -- is in one gallon of gasoline.
That is to say, fossil fuels contain an insane amount of energy. They get it the hard way, by being roasted and squeezed by the fantastic heat and pressure inside the earth. If you want to have the same kind of energy concentration you have to put something like the same amount of energy into it, and That. Isn't. Easy.
That's why people who live off grid learn early on to use very modest amounts of energy and conserve it relentlessly. If you want to know how that's done, fortunately, there are several very good sources. One place to start is Low Tech Magazine and its sister site, No Tech Magazine:
3) No. There's no spare energy in the universe -- all of it's already doing something -- and if you started drawing energy from the etheric plane, let's say, everything around you would start to die because you were draining it of life force. The notion of "unlimited power" is a very harmful one, because limits are the basis of existence and when you remove something's limits, problems follow. Your sphincters impose certain limits, you know -- do you really want them to embrace limitlessness? ;-)
