I think the car is actually a petrol-engined car .... not a steam engine !! then I think you agree that future gasoline-powered car is a car of its time, the real transportation era .
it is very appropriate I mention that before the petrol-engined cars are "pre hystoric car"... don't doubt .... !!! wkwkwkw......
lets see :
- Leonty Luk'yanovich Shamshurenkov (Russian: Леонтий Лукьянович Шамшуренков) (1687—1758) was a self-taught Russian inventor of peasant origin, who designed a device for lifting the Tsar Bell onto a bell-tower, constructed in 1752 the first self-propelling or self-running carriage (may be regarded as precursor to both quadrocycle and automobile) and proposed projects of an original odometer and self-propelling sledge.
Nicolaus J. Cugnot was the first successful launch of a large-bodied vehicles, three-wheeled, and the steam engine. This vehicle is used to pull cannons in 1769.
This image is an image in which the vehicle creation Nicolaus J. Cugnot was hit a wall. And this accident was recorded as the world's first car accident- Another engineer who made a similar vehicle was William Murdoch who cooperate dengna James Watts from the UK. they successfully developed and launched in 1784 a steam-powered engine.
- Richard Trevithick also managed to create and launch a steam-powered vehicle. In 1830, six-wheeled vehicle created by Sir Goldswarthy Gurnay able to glide at speeds of 25km / h. Until the early 20th century, various steam-powered vehicles continue to be created even though the steam engine is dangerous because it often explodes.
- the 19th century, the design of cars growing rapidly. in 1860, Jean Joseph E. Lenoir, from France, has created a combustion engine fueled a mixture of coal and gas and air mixture atmosphere. This machine works without compression, in which a mixture of fuel and air is introduced into the cylinder when the piston is diseparuh step, then ignited by a cigarette lighter flame (plugs), so that the gas pressure in the cylinder rises pushing the piston until the end of the stride and wasting gas combustion exit , Engine efficiency is only 5%, but is capable of producing up to 6DK.( updated )
By 1859, Lenoir's experimentation without electricity led him to develop the first single-cylinder two-stroke engine which burnt a mixture of coal gas and air ignited by a "jumping sparks" ignition system by Ruhmkorff coil,[1] and which he patented in 1860. The engine differed from more modern two-stroke engines in that the charge was not compressed before ignition (a system invented in 1801 by Lebon D'Humberstein, which was quiet but inefficient),[2] with a power stroke at each end of the cylinder.[3] In 1863 the Hippomobile with a hydrogen gas fuelled one cylinder internal combustion engine made a test drive from Paris to Joinville-le-Pont: top speed about 9 km in ~3 hours.[4]
Lenoir was an engineer at petiene et Cie, who formed companies (Société des Moteurs Lenoir+ more) in Paris in 1859,[2] with a capitalization of two million francs and a factory in the Rue de la Roquette,[2] to develop the engine, and a three-wheeled carriage constructed using it. Although it ran reasonably well, the engine was fuel inefficient, extremely noisy, tended to overheat and, if sufficient cooling water was not applied, seize up. Nevertheless, Scientific American advised in September 1860 the Parisian newspaper Cosmos had pronounced the steam age over,[5] and by 1865, 143 had been sold in Paris alone, and production by Reading Gas Works for Lenoir Gas Engines in London had begun.[1]
In 1863 Lenoir demonstrated a second three-wheeled carriage, little more than a wagon body set atop a tricycle platform.[2] It was powered by a 2543 cc (155 in3; 180×100 mm, 7.1×3.9in)[1] 1.5 hp "liquid hydrocarbon" (petroleum) engine with a primitive carburettor which was patented in 1886.[6] It successfully covered the 11 km (7 mi) from Paris to Joinville-le-Pont and back in about ninety minutes each way, an average speed less than that of a walking man (though doubtless there were breakdowns).[1] This succeeded in attracting the attention of tsar Alexander II, and one was sent to Russia, where it vanished. (Lenoir himself was not pleased, however; in 1863, he sold his patents to Compagnie Parisienne du Gaz and turned to motorboats, instead, building a naptha-fuelled four-cycle in 1888.)[2][1]
Most applications of the Lenoir engine were as a stationary power plant powering printing presses, water pumps, and machine tools. They "proved to be rough and noisy after prolonged use",[1] however. Other engineers, especially Nikolaus Otto, began making improvements in internal combustion technology which soon rendered the Lenoir design obsolete. Less than 500 Lenoir engines of between 6 and 20 hp were built, including some under license in Germany.[2]
- Then, in 1885, Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz succeeded in creating the internal combustion engine cars. Even without a clutch to transfer power from the engine to the wheels so difficult when departing, this vehicle is a basic model for developers subsequent cars. Internal combustion engine immediately in love because they do not have the possibility to explode, no spark on the outside, not smoky thick, and not so noisy steam engines.
- and i thinnk... this Daimler Benz is the end of "pre Historic Car " era ....
