Car history

Since ancient times, man has sought ways by which they can carry different materials or food at much larger distances. So he built, using their intelligence is endowed with various means of transport, from the most elementary, reaching its peak to sec. nineteenth century, with the creation of the automobile. The first building considered vehicle designed to transport construction meaning was stretcher carried by people.
Then it evolved since man came to the conclusion that much superior forces of nature surrounding him, to be captured and used for the benefit or. From here begins the domestication of animals and the emergence of a new means of transport - animal traction. The stretcher was replaced by a cart, and with the reign of Louis XVI appeared cook, saloons, cabrioletelor, etc., representing rank and economic power of the nobles who possessed them. Since this time, the carriages were greatly expanded in several ways. Besides the artistic, as some coaches were true works of art, and developed the mechanics, inventing the different mechanisms for braking.
The appearance of the bike is of great importance in the development of the car, because many technical achievements in the construction industry we find bikes car. But the most important invention that has made ​​the greatest contribution under construction vehicle, the engine is operated with steam power. This resulted in 1769 when Francois Cugnot built the first car equipped with a steam engine.
Steam carriages had a particularly important in automotive history, mankind default. These vehicles have been well received by the people of the time, which contributes greatly to their development. As proof of interest we have a early form of traffic, first appeared in England as the Red Flag Act in 1865, which required vehicle traveling of a speed of two miles in cities and 4 miles outside cities .
After the appearance of the internal combustion engine with moving pistons rectilinear alternative, we can talk in the true sense of appearance of the car. Have a special importance and great discovery of the time, such as:
- Making an  electromagnet by Ampere in 1830;
- The discovery of the phenomenon of induction by Faraday in 1831;
- Induction coil built in 1855 by Ruhm Korff;
- Electric battery invented by Plautus, in 1959.
The first car power generators was invenatata of Gramme in 1869 - 1970 and the first oil wells dating from 1830, while the rubber vulcanization was made ​​by Goodyear since 1838.
The true ancestors of the car is the engine and Etienne Lenoir invented autovehicolul: gas engine patented in 1860.
When the car reached 100 years?
On 29 January 1986, the world was a very special occasion for celebration: the automobile 100 years. Exactly 100 years ago, engineer Carl Benz (1844-1929) in Mannheim, the son of a locomotive mechanic in Black Forest, has obtained patent first vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine. No skilful Benz could not suspect that this document was to be considered later birth certificate of the automobile. And even that patent or would become the cornerstone for building a billion cars in the world.
How show railcar patented designed by Carl Benz? Not in the least resemble a car today is more of an open carriage of the horse-drawn. On the rear axle wheels were set two thin, almost as tall as a man, with hard rubber tires and wire spokes. In front of the wood leg was willing to support a small wheel with spokes, with which the vehicle can be driven through a system of levers. If you would ever meet someone on the street today with such a tricycle, would be hard to believe that it is a car. Yet it was the first vehicle
self-propelled car-ie!
Behind the seat puffing a sensational drive mechanism for those times: a 0.88 hp engine with internal combustion with one cylinder and water cooled.
It moves the rear axle and wheels by means of belts, chains and some trees. The biggest and most visible piece was a horizontal wheel, cast iron.
In his travels trial, had as Benz, first, to start the engine flywheel. Then quickly salt front seat, engage in single speed and go busily pounding. However, by 16 km / h! This bold ancestor of the car, created by Carl Benz, can be seen today in the German Museum in Munich.
