Old Type Of Car's

In the Beginnings

A car isa a self-powered ,wheeled road vehical for people and their possessions.There are many other kinds of engines-powerded vehicals,like trucks,coaches,buses,and vans,but most of these are for commercial use.Cars are usually private-our own vehicles for our own uses.

The first “cars”

The name “car” comes from the ancient word carrus,meaning cart or wagom.The very first self-propelled vehicals  were  two  tractor-like carts built in 1769-71 for the freanch army to pull cannons.They were designed by Nicholas-joseph Cugnot and powerded by steam  engines.The second version went out of  control and it a wall,and it had to stop often for fule and water .The army lost intrest and the progress of a self-propelled vehicale halted.

 Rail to Road

In the 1820s, the first railway lines snaked across Britain and Europe,then from 1830 across north amearica .Like most machines of the time,Iocomotives were steam-powerded.A few brave inventors tried to adapt steam engines to power road carriages, which were  normally pulled by horses.However,”roads”were rough and pitted dirt tracks. There were few places to re-fule with water,and coal or wood to burn. 

 

    The ICE

The  internal combustion engine (ICE), or what we call the petrol or diesel engine , is the most significant inventation  in  automobile  history. The fule is burned,or combusted,in side cylinders rather than out side , as in a steam engine.Engineers built various ICEs through the 1800s, such as Samuel Brompton of englend in 1824,Etienne Lenoir of france in 1860,and Siegfried markus of Austria in 1873 However, the true age of cars began with germen engineers Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz in the mid 1880s.They built the first ICE-driven”hoseless carriages” and the car was born.
