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.
