Piezo electricity too. It's very seldom used for power generation but does exist

Oh yea! I forgot about that one! It's starting to be used a lot in implantable medical devices to generate a small current. There was also that thing a few years back that was trying to use it to generate power from waves/tides; not sure if that actually got past the proof-of-concept stage though.
