What type of clocks did people make when there was no electricity or wires?
Sun dials and water clocks.
What are the disadvantages of water clocks?
They are inaccurate. True water clocks were based on water flowing into or out of a graduated container and the user could tell the time by looking at the graduation aligned with the water level. There were also pseudo water-clocks in which a pendulum kept time but the power was provided by water.True water clocks, whether of the inflow or outflow variety, required a steady rate of flow. This depends on the viscosity of water which is dependent on the ambient temperature. A change in temperature from 20 to 21 deg C produces a change in viscosity of approx 2%. This would cause a clock to lose half an hour in a day!
What was the energy source that once powered early mills?

How time was measured in the past before clock?
I'm pretty sure they measured it by using a tool called a sun dial. It's powered by the sun's shadows. sun dials, water drop clocks, sinking clocks, candles - to name a few. =================================================== The sundial is the world's oldest scientific instrument.
What were water clocks used for?
