Uses Of Solar Energy For Kids

Rube Goldberg machine:?
I have to do a school project by creating a rube goldberg machine. I want to hear some interesting ideas I can use for each type of energy. It’s not cheating, because I already know what ideas I can use for my machine, I just want to earn those extra points by having some types other kids may not have.
Mechanical (potential & kinetic)
Electrical
Heat
Chemical
Light
Solar
Wind
Hydro
Please and thank you.
