"It is obvious any work being done negates the possibility of being 100% alternating."

Stu, you can't just string a bunch of words together and hope that they make sense.

Tre' has already given several examples of work being done by alternating current. You can generate heat with AC or DC by passing current (AC or DC) through a resistor. How is the AC any different than DC? Mr. Ohm observed that a constant resistance in a circuit will drop the same voltage whether the current is alternating or direct. Isn't the current through a resistance "work" as you define it? Are you disputing Ohm's law?
