    Solar photovoltaic is the only one i can think of that isn’t just a fancy way to make steam

    EDIT

    ok let’s clarify to say a method that isn’t related to movement of a fluid that spins a turbine. So not windmills (air is a fluid), not hydro, not geothermal, etc.

      Piezoelectricity is the only other I can really think of. But it’s not like we are out here smacking crystals with hammers to make power.
