History of Automobile
Monday, February 4, 2008 | | |Although Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot is often credited with building the first auto-mechanics or motor vehicle in about 1769, this claim is disputed by some who doubt Cugnot three-wheelers never ran. Others claim Ferdinand Verbiest, a member of a Jesuit mission in China, built the first steam "car" around 1672 [3] [4]. This is no doubt that Richard Trevithick built and demonstrated its Puffing Devil road locomotive in 1801, the first real success steam road vehicle.
Francois Isaac de Rivaz, a Swiss inventor, designed the first internal combustion engine in 1806, was fueled by a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen and used to develop the first vehicle to run on such an engine. The design has not been very successful, as was the case with Samuel Brown, Samuel Morey, and Etienne Lenoir, which produces each clumsy vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. [5]
In November 1881 french inventor Gustave Found demonstrated a working three-wheeled automobile. It was the Salon International de l'electricity in Paris. [6]
A car driven by a gasoline engine Otto was built in Mannheim, Germany by Karl Benz in 1885 and granted a patent in January of the following year under the auspices of his company, Benz & Cie, which was founded in 1883.
Although several other German engineers (including Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Maybach, Marcus and Siegfried) worked on the problem at roughly the same time, Karl Benz is generally recognized as the inventor of the modern automobile. [5] In 1879, Benz received a patent for its first engine designed in 1878. Several of his other inventions made use of internal combustion engine to power a possible vehicle and in 1896, Benz designed and patented the first internal combustion engine flat.
Benz About 25 vehicles were built and sold before 1893, during his first four-wheeler was introduced. They were fed with four-stroke engines of his own design. Emile Roger of France, already producing Benz engines under licence, said it now Benz automobile to its product line. Because France is more open in early automobiles, others have been built and sold in France thanks to Roger that Benz sold in Germany.
Daimler and Maybach based Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (Daimler Motor Company, DMG) in Cannstatt in 1890 and under the brand name, Daimler, sold their first automobile in 1892. In 1895 about 30 vehicles had been built by Daimler and Maybach, either at the Daimler factory or in hotel Hermann, where they settled after falling with their funds. Daimler Benz and seem to have ignored each other's early work and worked independently.
Daimler died in 1900 and later in the year, Maybach designed a model named Daimler-Mercedes, special-ordered by Emil Jellinek. Two years later, a new model of car DMG was produced and named after the Mercedes engine. DMG Maybach leave shortly after and opened a company of its own. The rights to mark Daimler were sold to other manufacturers.
Karl Benz has proposed cooperation between DMG and Benz & Cie when the economic situation began to deteriorate in Germany after the First World War, but the directors of DMG refused to consider it first. Negotiations between the two companies has taken a few years later and in 1924 they signed an agreement of mutual interest valid until 2000. The two companies standardized design, production, purchases, sales, marketing and advertising their automobile models jointly-although keeping their respective brands. In June 28, 1926, Benz & Cie DMG and, finally, that the merger of Daimler-Benz, baptizing all its Mercedes Benz cars honour the largest model of DMG car, the Maybach design hereinafter " the 1902 Mercedes-35hp, As the name Benz. Karl Benz remained a board member of Daimler-Benz until his death in 1929.
In 1890, Emile Levassor and Armand Peugeot of France began producing motor vehicles Daimler, and thus laid the groundwork for the automotive industry in France. The first American car with a gasoline internal combustion engine supposedly was created in 1877 by George Selden of Rochester, New York, which has applied for a patent on an automobile in 1879. In Britain, there have been several attempts to build steam cars with more or less success with Thomas Rickett even attempt a production run in 1860. [7] Santler from Malvern is recognized by the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain as having made the first gasoline - powered car in the country in 1894 [8] followed by Frederick William Lanchester in 1895 but these were the After a compromise. [8] The first production vehicles came from the Daimler Motor Company, founded by Harry J. Lawson in 1896, and making their first cars in 1897. [8]
History of the automobile
In 1892, German engineer Rudolf Diesel received a patent for a "New Rational Combustion Engine". In 1897, he built the first diesel engine. [5] In 1895, Selden obtained a patent in the USA (U.S. Patent 549160) for a two-stroke engine, which has hindered more than encouraged the development of automobiles in the USA. Steam, electric and gasoline-powered cars competed for decades, with gasoline internal combustion engines achieving dominance in the years 1910.
Although various pistonless rotary engine designs have tried to compete with conventional piston and crankshaft design, only the Mazda version of the Wankel engine had more than very limited success.
