    You know how theres the electricity thing where you connect a potato to a light bulb. os there something like that, that i8 could do, but about hydro, soloar, or thermal energy. Do you think that if I got a clear glass vase set it in the sun until it was hot and I can see steam, then use that connecter thingy to connect a light bulb to the steam(y vase)

    Solar might be easy, get a solar cell and connect it to an LED.

    For thermal, you might be able to buy a toy steam engine with a generator

    but most modern plants use turbines rather than pistons.

    addresses hydro. Hydro is much like steam turbine, except water moves the blades instead of steam.
