Who knows all the methods of obtaining electricity?

I need some of these methods to write about in my research , I need the name of these process in general . plzzzzzzzzzzzz

Who knows all the methods of obtaining electricity?
Chemical reactions, i.e., batteries





photonic reactions, i.e., solar cells





physical movement: passing a conductor across magnetic lines of force or conversely, moving the magnetic lines of force across a conductor.





EDIT: Thanks, I had forgotten about piezoelectric, but it is just a variation of physical movement.





Note that the various types of heat mentioned in another post (nuclear, geothermal, etc) only create steam which drives a turbine which moves conductors through a magnetic field as does the newest try at using the tides to generate power.





Static electricity is not as versatile as is current electricity in that it cannot power motors, illuminate, etc.
