The bow-drill was invented in the upper Paleolithic period, which broadly dates to between 49,257 & 14,117 years ago.
The Front part of a boat or ship is known as the Bow.
An ancient Egyptian drill, often made from bronze or stone, was used primarily for boring holes in wood, metal, or stone. It operated by a rotary motion, typically powered by a bow-style mechanism that allowed the user to apply continuous pressure while rotating the drill bit. The design facilitated precision in creating holes for various purposes, including woodworking, jewelry-making, and tomb construction. This tool exemplifies the ingenuity of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship and their advancements in technology.
When you bend the bow, you are imparting kinetic energy from your pull into the bow as potential energy. When you release the string, you are imparting that potential energy into the arrow through the string.
Fire was discovered in the stone age, the bronze age would not have been possible unless humans already had fire by that point since bronze smelting requires a very hot furnace.
An ancient bow drill is device that looks like a bow with a string. A piece of wood with a point is spun at high speed using the bow and string to drill a hole, usually in wood.

If you are going to make an improvised drilling tool in the wild or as out doors men call it the bush then you will need A strong but flexible stick about 60cm in length and another stick about the same length and some suitable cordage. Once you have your materials try to make a bow out of one of the sticks and cordage then twqist the other stick in the cordage to make the well known Bow Drill
To successfully make fire with sticks in a survival situation, you can use a bow drill or hand drill method. This involves creating friction between a wooden drill and baseboard to generate heat and create an ember. Blow gently on the ember to ignite it into a flame. It requires practice, patience, and proper technique to be successful.

Many people have probably seen someone use a bow drill to start a fire in the movies. Very few have ever attempted it though. Probably the only ones that know how to do it correctly are Boy Scouts and people that have been trained in survival. I know how to do it because when I was young I was in the Scouts and relearned it when I was stationed in Alaska as a survival tool. Not everyone that knows how to do it can do it. It is something that you have to practice.
The fire drill was a very simple technology known almost everywhere in ancient times. It is closely related to the drill used in making furniture, jewellery and boats and it used the principle that a piece of hardwood, when pressed firmly and rotated against a piece of softwood, generates heat by friction. The fire drill uses a flat piece of softwood with a small groove and hollow, into which the hardwood drill is placed vertically. The drill is rotated by means of a "bow" - a short stick with a cord which is wrapped twice around the drill. Downward pressure on the drill is also required. The drill does not produce flame or sparks, but hot embers from the softwood, charred by friction - these can then be used to start a fire. The first link below includes images of an ancient Egyptian fire drill (ignore the modern magnifying glass at the top of the page). The second link gives examples of many tools used in ancient Egypt, including the fire drill:
A drill machine can mean a hand held electric drill, or a bench drill press or a pillar drill.
