Abstract
Human beings have needed energy throughout history. Simple hand tools were used until the industrial revolution. In the agricultural and pre-agricultural society period, where humans and domesticated animals were used as energy sources, hydraulic and wind energy were used primitively. With the industrial revolution, steam energy, internal combustion engines, and electric motors began to be used in accordance with the increasing production speed. There are two important problems for new energy sources, just like human and animal power: efficiency and sustainability. Although the nature of the revolutions in human history is seen as administrative, class struggle is also a problem of energy efficiency and sustainability. An energy source that is not efficient and sustainable can be destructive in the process. In an agricultural society, slave labor or vassal peasants are a source of energy for their lords/seigneurs.
