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.

What about Wind Mills?

Wind is just dry steam

You know that's a stretch 😉 but I'll give it to you. But we are not MAKING wind/steam there.

Seriously though

Also hydroelectric

That's just condensed steam.

By that logic, solar is just a huge pile of steam undergoing fusion.

Plasma is spicy steam
