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.

I guess aeolic energy also doesn't use steam (unless we count the air humidity), but still involves turning a turbine.

Excuse my blatant ignorance, but what is aeolic energy? I've never heard about it before.

Garlic power.

Nah, just a non-traditional way of saying wind generators like turbines.

Apparently it's the fancy word for wind power.

French words are the fancy words in English. French was the language of the upper classes for a long time.
