This is a bit trainofthoughty.
I think it would be hard to improve upon two very common energy consumables: lights and music (sound). In these cases, the energy is used immediately. You can even make copies in photos and tapes. However these energies, photons and motion (vibrating air), are just two of many energies to be consumed. How could we use electricity, gravity, momentum? But as we list the types of energies, we consume them directly all the time:
electricity - medicine, pain,
gravity - bungee jumping, sky diving, skiing, slides,
momentum - moshing, dancing, rollercoasters,
small force - nuclear destruction,
I feel like we in fact consume energy directly so often that we don’t even think about it. Most of the time we are taking one type of energy and making it into either electricity or motion - wind, gas, oil, etc. But we actually consume energy in a variety of forms constantly.
hmmm…
