No, a source of energy is not needed to start a mechanical wave. Mechanical waves are created by the vibration of particles in a medium, such as air or water, and propagate through that medium without needing a continuous external energy source to sustain them. Once initiated, the wave will continue to move until it encounters an obstacle or dissipates.
To start a helicopter, the energy transformation needed involves converting chemical energy stored in the fuel into mechanical energy. This is achieved by the combustion of fuel in the engine, which creates the necessary rotational motion to start the helicopter's rotor blades.
An electrical motor starts with electrical energy supplied by a power source. This energy is converted into mechanical energy as the motor turns and does work, such as driving a fan or a conveyor belt.
Activation Energy.
A hand drill typically starts with mechanical energy in the form of the motion you apply to turn the crank. When you use the hand drill to bore into a material, it produces mechanical energy through the rotation and movement of the drill bit.
The energy in the wind is kinetic, it is due to a mass of air moving at a certain speed. Wind energy is transformed into mechanical energy through the blades of the wind turbine, and the mechanical energy is then transformed into electrical energy in a generator driven by the blade axis.

A form of chemical energy such as in the combustion process to start the mechanical process (energy) of a car engine. A battery uses chemical energy to power things like clocks or the A/C in your car. A person moving an object is displaying mechanical energy by moving the object, yet they themselves are powered by the chemical energy in the nutrients they take in when they eat.
Fuel, Oxygen and a heat source. Fuel, Oxygen and heat are everywhere why is the whole earth not on fire? because it is not Heat but a source of ignition that is needed.
The energy needed to start a chemical reaction is called the activation energy :)

An electrical motor starts with electrical energy supplied by a power source. This energy is converted into mechanical energy as the motor turns and does work, such as driving a fan or a conveyor belt.
A substance that lowers the energy needed to start a chemical reaction is a catalyst.

In chemistry it is called a catalyst. Enzymes decrease the activation energy needed to start a reaction.
