How about driving a generator in the basement with either a heavy
fiberglass
axle rod driven at some distance by a (sacrificial) motor, or by a fluid
that
does not conduct electricity through a turbine system, similarly driven by
a
motor/pump at some distance.

Or a compelete diesel-hydraulic locomotive? (Diesel-hydraulic coupling,
Dieselhydraulische in german)?
