S+F first of all.
Because iv'e always thought of this on the occasion. I think it's a case of, why not?
But maybe the only thing is that the human body or 'vessel' should i say may not be able to take in or handle that much energy. I remember them mentioning in DBZ about having the physical body to take the energy. So they have to train physically all the while if their bodies are to actually sustain forms or energy intakes.
It's a plausible idea,but hopefully not purely because i WANT it to happen, but the idea that it COULD happen. I do meditation solely to 'connect' myself to the existence of reality.
I mean, in the cartoon, did they not mention about 'find your center' on 'take flight videl' episode.
After all,we are made of the same stuff. And our bodies ARE a giant generator.
My main point is,why not?

Nope. Because, and I hate to break it to you, but DBz is just a cartoon with a reoccuring theme revolving around redemption, and in the DBz world good and evil are presented (as in most stories) as universal concepts that just don't translate to reality any more than the Lord of the Rings or Little House of the Prairie does. You see, what we view as 'good' and 'evil' are just cultural/genetic influences mixed with a whole lot of subjective opinion. Once you understand that and you see it in action in different cultures, it's not hard to dismiss universal concepts of good and evil entirely.
You might want to also research a bit about chi and how some in martial arts claims to be able to harness it. Although I'm not a complete skeptic on chi, I have doubts as to those who claim to be able to channel it in fighting, as in Dim Mak. Most of the cases I've seen where people tried to prove it to others, it was debunked, and it seems in all of those cases, chi only affects those who believe in it.

Good and evil will always be debated. I understand completely were you're coming from instead of good and evil. Think positive and negative emotions. This actions makes me feel good. This action makes me feel bad. This action is making me feel good but ultimately its making me feel bad. It's all in the feels man

And i'm not an expert of chi manipulation I have never even looked it up. I'm just in the state of mind if energy is all around us. My body can harness energy. I can use that energy. When you break it down like that why not?
