How were early clocks powered?
Early clocks were powered by various means such as weights, springs, and water. Weight-driven clocks used hanging weights that would slowly descend, providing energy to keep the clock running. Spring-driven clocks utilized a wound-up spring that would gradually release its energy to regulate the clock's movement. Water clocks used the flow of water to measure time and could also power mechanical components.
