automotive history "drive passion" documentary
hen was the first car built by Daimler and Benz are traditionally credited with building the first cars in 1886, but the French request, it was built in 1884 by Delamare-Deboutteville Still others say it was built in 1860 depends on your definition of a car.
Contrary to popular belief, Henry Ford did not invent the automobile, it wasn t even close to what Ford did was perfect the assembly line technique, well after the start of the century, which allowed him to lower the cost of the automobile drastically, bringing a rich man toy within reach of the masses, changing sufficient reason for Western society to be famous.
In 1860, a French Edouard Delamare-Deboutteville, made some experiments and filed patents for a self-propelled car In 1884, France built the first car, however, the first automobile automotive world existed long before 1884.
Steam powered stage coaches were in regular service between many cities in Britain from 1820-1840 They were built by men as Goldsworthy Gurney, Walter Hancock, Ogle Summers Macerone Squire, John Scott Russell and others.
Charles Dietz and his son ran steam tractors passenger cars on the roads around Paris and Bordeaux before 1850 and America, steam coaches were built in the period 1860 to 1880 by Harrison Dyer Boston Joseph Dixon of Lynn, Mass Rufus Porter Hartford, Connecticut and William T James New York.
Amédée Bollée Sr. was most remarkable steam-car pioneers inherited a bell foundry in Le Mans, he added mechanical workshops and built a series of advanced design vehicles 1873-1883 There was nothing particularly new or refined in its steam power systems, but his sense of vehicle architecture was gorgeous Mancelle built in 1878, had an engine mounted in the front, the drive shaft of the way, the chain drive to the rear wheels, the steering wheel on a vertical shaft and the driver's seat behind the engine the boiler has been brought behind the cockpit Bollee constructed a series of steam cars with romantic names like Fast and obedient the His obedient son, Amedee Jr Leon, the two became petrol car manufacturers Amedee Sr. also invented the first wheel independent suspension system with spring blades supérieu r and bottom transverse in 1878.
The use of steam for road vehicles dates back to 1769, when a French artillery engineer Nicolas Joseph Cugnot built a three-wheeled military tractor Arsenal in Paris He ran at a speed of 2 1 Place 2 mph but was almost out of control and crashed into a stone wall during a demonstration.
Was this the birth of the car It depends on the Cugnot vehicle can be regarded as the first automobile in the world, if the definition is fairly broad How should it be defined by fuel, engine type, the drive system, reception capacity, speed or that.
When Daimler-Benz manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz cars said the automobile was invented in 1886 by Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler, he's basing his request on its own definition of a light car for personal transportation with three or four wheels, powered by a liquid internal combustion -fueled doing so, the company ignores the motorcycle powered gas Daimler 1885.
But even by this definition, the French have a claim arising prior Belgian Jean Joseph Etienne Lenoir, who settled in Paris and became a naturalized French citizen, invented the petrol engine in 1858 and patented in 1860. He used the ignition electric spark, but the engine has the gas cooker and had no compression has been shown to the press in a truck with three wheels in 1860, a liquid fuel version, with a primitive carburetor, was constructed in 1862 and installed in a three-wheeled car in early 1863 It is on record that he has successfully covered 11 2 miles from Paris to Joinville-le-Pont and back, securing its place in the history as the first fuel oil car spark ignition to demonstrate its ability to traffic.
But Lenoir has not continued to work on cars and Daimler-Benz We can do Lenoir claim void reducing further definition It doesn t count as a car if you have given, you must persevere, and experiences must lead to production car this is what Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler or did they.
Experimental cars of Daimler and Benz, it was indeed a short step to industrial production - but not in Germany Daimler-Benz concedes that the first car manufacturers in the world were French; namely, Panhard Levassor in 1889, followed by Peugeot in 1891. As both purchase their engines from Daimler when production began, the essential involvement of car manufacturers in Germany is implied At that time, Daimler was more interested in the fees and license fees for its engines than it was actually building cars.
French companies have each new car a little different from its predecessor for years the first true production model was the Benz Velo 1894 Benz builds 134 cars at the exact same specification during 1895.
Meanwhile, the French invented the Parisian daily racing engine Le Petit Journal sponsored a race Paris to Rouen in 1894. The following year, a group of wealthy enthusiasts founded the Automobile Club de France, the first of its kind .
Daimler Benz and do not operate in a vacuum; they were aware of many experiments in progress at the time.
Alphonse Beau de Rochas was a civil engineer working in a self-taught laboratory in Paris in 1861, he was the first to identify the cycle sequence four times and provide a theoretical pressure diagram - but he never built a motor It received patent french No. 52593, dated January 16, 1862.
Nikolaus Otto in August was a merchant who abandoned now experimenting with gas engines at the age of 22, he had an atmospheric gas engine operating at Cologne in 1862 and began production, selling about 50 units per year realizing the value of compression, it also charged stratification invented his first engine in four experimental time ran in 1876, and its patent No. 532 is dated August 4, 1877 his small shop has grew up in Gasmotorenfabrik Deutz, where Gottlieb Daimler later worked as chief engineer.
Siegfried Marcus was alive prolific inventor in Vienna, he had a four-stroke engine running in 1870, using a kind of oil fuel and high carburetor 2 feet Between 1870 and 1875, he is reported to have installed a such an engine in a small car into a carriage by removing the rear axle driving was its rear wheel Marcus a four-wheeled vehicle 1875 would date Marcus vehicle Vienna technical Museum is dated 1888 and 1875 conform to the descriptions of the vehicle .
George Brayton Boston, Massachusetts has developed a motor with pre-compression, running on light oil fuel in 1874 and is considered the first engine of safe and convenient oil But for the compression of the charge, he needed two pumping cylinders outside.
George B Selden, a patent attorney advised of Rochester, NY has filed a patent for a road engine in 1879. Under the laws on patents liberals of the time, he was allowed to date back to 1877 and its patent to modify and 'frequently extend When he was finally released in 1895, it covered a front-wheel drive truck with a three-cylinder transverse engine Although he never built a car, Selden has used its patents to extract first American manufacturers royalties each car they built when Henry Ford refused to pay royalties, a famous court suit followed during the long trial, the Selden patent owners have finally been forced to build a vehicle in 1904, the essential details in patents Selden had been left deliberately vague, and the car built in 1904 had many advantages then- current technology despite all these faults, Selden 1877 ran only patent was eventually shot dead in 1911.
These are undisputed facts The problem is that now the French want the world to believe that he was Edouard Delamare-Deboutteville that invented the automobile in 1884.
Deboutteville was 22 when he went to work in his brother garment factory just outside Rouen A year later, in 1879, he invented a universal machine capable of cutting, milling, drilling and turning, it is became interested in the internal combustion engine mainly as a source of energy to run machines in factories, and secondarily for the propulsion of road vehicles It was nice patents current Rochas and Lenoir, and also knew of the patent Otto.
His first engine was a single cylinder unit, four-stroke, built in the early 1883 he ran on the gas stove, but Deboutteville had also created a carburetor to operate liquid petroleum fuels Things outstanding about his engine were .
mechanical control intake and exhaust valves in mind.
This engine was put into a three-wheeled vehicle that was destroyed in a Undaunted accident Deboutteville built a four-wheeled car with a two-cylinder engine The design of figures in the patent 1884 vehicle was a wagon pulled by a horse changed, but the new engine was notable for what follows.
Provision for air or carburetor heating water.
It is certain that the car was built, but the evidence that he ever ran low You will look in vain for any mention of a Test in local newspapers patent Deboutteville went unnoticed, he did never been exploited at all.
A great shame, because the car offered Deboutteville was very well thought out, he had solutions to all the basic problems, but he had to give up his experiments to focus on making a living instead of developing the car, he off his engine and put it to use in the factory, it has become a manufacturer of industrial engines, but had nothing to do with automobiles.
Both Daimler and Benz could have obtained by reading the patent in 1884 for their first vehicles were very primitive in many ways the engine of Daimler in 1885 was a single vertical cylinder displacement of 462 cc, delivering January 1 hp at 650 rpm he had the intake valve-operated suction and hot ignition tube there was an evaporation surface carburetor, and the speed control is a throttle valve mounted on the exhaust pipe, it has not a car designed for this, but it is installed in a horse carriage with a swivel axle center before and it did not run in 1886. the first test drive took place March 4, 1887.
Karl Benz has spent many years developing the two-stroke engine before turning his attention to the four-stroke cycle in 1885, he put a tray on the intake port and pulled her spark plug of a high voltage coil the mixture was produced in a surface of carburettor and has a speed regulator on the suction side of the single cylinder engine Benz had 954 cc displacement and delivered 0 67 ps at 250 rpm.
The Benz car designed around the engine was a vehicle with three small wheels with belt drive, which first ran in the streets of Mannheim in June 1886 Benz has not built a car with four wheels until 1891 it was only after seeing the success of Peugeot and Panhard Levassor that Daimler and his assistant, Wilhelm Maybach, began to think in terms of complete cars rather than engines.
Was the automobile invented in France or Germany The argument can not be resolved to the satisfaction of both sides One thing to keep in mind is that the car is not an invention but a mechanical creation composed of hundreds, if not thousands, inventions in truth, we even invent the car, the car is an assemblage changing ideas, systems and pieces over the past 100 years, the French contribution to the advance was also than that of the Germans.
