Who invented the car and when?
Today we get to see a variety of cars on the roads, some of which are stylish, some are for special sports, some are for ordinary people, but the invention of the car is not so common.People have done it and they were all from different countries. So in today's post, we will learn about the invention of the car, who started the car and who all contributed to the car.
There is a lot of difference between the car we are seeing on the roads today and the car that was first built, the first car that was built was run by a steam engine like a train but then later it was different - Different people tested it and tried to run it with different types of engines,
then we got a model car which was powered by petrol and diesel and also used to run on gas, but this car was a single person To make it, many people made their own plans and tested them, and then a model car was made.
After the invention of the motorcycle in the modes of personal traffic, engineers began to manufacture a motor vehicle that is safer and more suitable for long distances than a motorcycle.
As a result, in the 1880s, a car was built, which has become a symbol of our status and social status today.
Highlights of Karl Benz and his car
As you can see in the picture above, the first car made by Benz was completely different from the cars of today. She looked like a three-wheeler, with wheels almost the size of a bicycle.
The car was named 'Motorwagen'. The motorwagon featured a 954 cc light internal combustion engine; Designed by Carl Benz himself. Petrol was used to run it.
Karl also made many essential components used in that motorwagon. Such as - throttle system, spark plugs, gear shifters, water radiators and carburetors. However, Karl Benz had built a motorcar in 1885; But he received a patent for this invention in January 1886.
The first public demonstration of the motorcar was performed in the city of Mannheim, Germany, on July 3, 1886. Before starting work on the motorwagon, Karl Benz started an iron casting factory, in which he lost a lot of money and closed the factory. Had to do. At the time his wife Bertha encouraged him financially to work on the construction of the motorwagon. \
After 1886, Benz created two more models of his motorwagon - model number-2 and model number-3, respectively. 1.5 and 2 horsepower engines were installed. Model number-3 had a maximum speed of 16 Km / hr.
Karl Benz's motorwagon was first driven long distance by his wife Bartha. On August 5, 1888, his wife completed the 105-km-long journey with her two children. Karl Benz, the first four-wheel motorcar "Benz Velo" was built in 1894,
with a 3-horsepower engine and a maximum The speed was 20 Km / hr. Benz Velo was the first production motorcar in the world to be produced by the general public. Between 1894 and 1902, a total of 1200 Benz vellos were produced.
Efforts made to make motorcar before Benz
# 1. In the early years of the 15th century, Leonardo da Vinci created a design of a bin horse cart that could be driven by mechanical means; But like other designs of Vinci, it could not be constructed during his lifetime.
However, today you can see a replica of that design in the French Museum of Chateau Clos Lucé. This museum was previously home to Leonardo da Vinci.
#2. Just as sailing in a boat is carried with the help of wind in the river, similarly in the late 15th century China also used wooden four-wheel trains to sail. They were called "Sailing Chariots".
Such a sail car was also built in the 16th century by a man from Holland, Simon Steven, on which 28 people traveled 64 km in 2 hours.
# 3. In 1769, Nicolas, a Frenchman, built a three-wheeler powered by the Instim engine, which ran only 3 kilometers in an hour.
If we talk about the inventor of today's modern model car, Karl (Carl) Benz got a three wheel modern car patented in 1886 which was a real model car.
Karl (Carl) Benz had patented the invention of the car along with other things like throttle system, spark plugs, gear shifters, water radiator and carburetor which are related to automobiles and all these are used in automobiles Be it a car or a big truck. Karl (Carl) Benz also formed a car company that still exists and is named. Daimler Group.
But Benz was not the only person who told about the car or designed the car. There have been many more people in history who had told about Car and also made some inventions related to the same, whose list is given below.
Around 1500, Leonardo da Vinci designed a car, as did others, but he could not make it in his life. John 1769 A Frenchman (Nicholas-Joseph) invented a propelled vehicle.
Which was run by a steam engine. But it was canceled at the same speed as walking, so it was canceled. Between 1832 and 1839, Robert Anderson of Scotland invented an electric vehicle.
But it was very expensive and it had to be charged continuously. That is why it was also discontinued.
Karl (Carl) Benz is credited with making the car because his car actually worked and its engine worked like it does today.
