Gyroscopic? Is a nice mechanical energy storage method, and the effects of precession are odd enough to make for some interesting stuff if you crafted it. Fictionally, you could either straight up pull off stored kinetic energy (with the usual higher storage density and > 100% efficiency allowed in steampunk) or have the gyro actually generate energy via some esoteric effect.

i found out my "mirror array laser" idea was NOT new. maybe i'd heard of it before, but i was thinking about the ancient story where soldiers blinded an approaching army by flipping their polished shields.
it turns out Archemedes had the same idea ca300bc and called it a DEATH RAY.

Hydrogen peroxide was first produced in the early 19th century. This chemical, when refined sufficiently to overcome stability issues, can serve as a portable source of instant steam.

Depending on how far fetched you want to go, I made a gauge using Alecto, one of the Fury names, as a recessive energy. In reality, this was a fabricated gauge face I made for a project that goes on a humidity and barometer gauge. The needles actually move with the weather.

Just found another one:
Odic force
.
(Thanks to the webcomic
Atomic Robo
for that one.)
Incidentally, Odic force's hypothesizer Baron Carl von Reichenbach stated that Odic force has "a light and a dark side." Hmm...

Undoubtedly Baron von Reichenbach is the inspiration for Girl Genius' Baron von Wulfenbach
