Something to do with turbines.

Water wheels seem to spin a turbine. Maybe it generated current or something. Similar with windmills? Gyroscope or something.

Solar ? Quite clearly magical and a heretic, likely to burn me at the stake. Steam power pushes steam through A turbine maybe ?

Lightening sky electricity. Get a bunch of metal and kites. Die.

You’re thinking of steam.
Create enough steam to turn a turbine that turns a magnet wrapped with copper.

Fun fact, nuclear power is just a powerful way to create more steam.

Solar are LEDs. But instead of putting electricity into that light comes out, you push the light in to get electricity out.

  Photovoltaic isn’t the only solar. Probably much easier back then to direct mirrors at a kettle to drive a steam turbine.
