The History of the Automobile

The car because let us know we it was not invented in only day by a simple inventor. The history of the car reflects an evolution which took place in the whole world. It is estimated it that more than 100.000 patents created the modern car. However, we can move to the many first which occurred along the manner. Starting with the theoretical foregrounds for a motor vehicle which had been worked out by da Vinci de Leonardo and Isaac Newton.

In 1769, the very first motorized road vehicle was a military tractor invented by the French engineer and mechanic, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot (1725 - 1804). Cugnot used a vapor engine to actuate its vehicle, built under its instructions with the arsenal of Paris by the Brezin mechanic. It was employed by the French Army to transport artillery at a flat beating speed seam of 2 M/H of 1/2 on only three wheels. The vehicle had to stop the every ten to fifteen minutes to accumulate the vapor power. The vapor engine and boiler were separated from the remainder of the vehicle and were placed in before (see engraving above). The following year (1770), Cugnot built an steamer-actuated tricycle which transported four passengers.

In 1771, Cugnot led one of its road vehicles in a stone wall, incentive with Cugnot the first nobody to enter an accident of motor vehicle. It was the beginning of the bad chance for the inventor. After one of the owners of Cugnot died and other was exiled, money for the experiments of the road vehicle of Cugnot finished.

The vapor engines actuated cars by burning the fuel which heated water in a boiler, creating the vapor which increased and pushed the pistons which made turn the crankshaft, which then made turn the wheels. During the history of the beginnings of the motorized vehicles - vehicles of road and railroad were developed with vapor engines. The vapor engines added so much the weight to a vehicle which they proved a poor design for the road vehicles; however, of the vapor engines with much of success were used in engines. Historians, which accepts that the road vehicles steamer-actuated early were cars, estimate that Nicolas Cugnot was the inventor of the first car.
