Steam Power

Stem power has been used for hundreds of years.

Steam power's great advantage is it's an on demand technology, like electricity. As long as you have wood and water, you can make steam when you want, as opposed to a windmill, where is there is no wind, there is no energy.

Steam powers disadvantage is that fact that it can be dangerous if you ever let the pressure build up too much, as the tank will explode.

Might be good for industrial table saws, large bandsaws, lathes...
