    Study Notes

    Energy Sources Throughout History

    Pre-History (Before 3000 BCE)

    • Primary energy sources:
      • Human and animal power
      • Biomass (wood, plants)
      • Water (rivers, streams)
    • Limited energy needs, mainly for basic survival and tool-making

    Ancient Civilizations (3000 BCE - 500 CE)

    • Energy sources:
      • Biomass (wood, charcoal)
      • Animal power (domesticated animals)
      • Water power (waterwheels, mills)
      • Human power (slaves, manual labor)
    • Development of early energy technologies:
      • Fire for cooking, heating, and metalworking
      • Waterwheels for grain milling and irrigation

    Medieval Period (500 - 1500 CE)

    • Energy sources:
      • Biomass (wood, charcoal)
      • Animal power (horses, oxen)
      • Water power (waterwheels, mills)
      • Human power (manual labor)
    • Introduction of new energy technologies:
      • Windmills for grain milling and pumping water
      • Horse-powered machinery

    Industrial Revolution (1500 - 1800 CE)

    • Energy sources:
      • Coal
      • Water power (hydroelectricity)
      • Steam power (coal-fired engines)
    • Development of new energy technologies:
      • Steam engines (James Watt, 1769)
      • Coal-fired power plants

    Modern Era (1800 - 2000 CE)

    • Energy sources:
      • Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)
      • Nuclear power
      • Hydroelectric power
      • Renewable energy (solar, wind, geothermal)
    • Development of new energy technologies:
      • Internal combustion engines (1870s)
      • Electricity generation and transmission (1880s)
      • Nuclear power plants (1950s)

    Contemporary Era (2000 CE - present)

    • Energy sources:
      • Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)
      • Renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal)
      • Nuclear power
      • Alternative energy (hydrogen, biofuels)
    • Focus on:
      • Energy efficiency and conservation
      • Sustainable energy development
      • Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and climate change
