The first biography of the car

The first car in the world and the story of its creation is the first car in the world and its creator Karl Benz years ago Carl Benz, an outstanding German engineer, a pioneer of the automotive industry. The history of his life and his inventions seems fantastic. This name is known to every person who, at least to some extent, is interested in cars. He received the first patents in the world for a two -stroke gasoline engine, a ignition system operating from the battery, a light of ignition, accelerator, carburetor, clutch, gearbox, water radiator, in a word, for all the main components of the car.

From the workshop to the world concern, the talent of an engineer and inventor manifested itself in Karl Benz very early, but his professional career was not at all a granted business. He was born in a poor family. Father, the engineer of the steam locomotive, died when Karl was only two years old. Thanks to the efforts of the mother, excellent estimates by Karl himself and the state scholarship, he graduated from the Polytechnic University already at the age of 19, then, after seven years of work at various enterprises, created his own company.

At first it was just a workshop. The first car, which became a serial model, was patented in January of the year. The patent under the number was issued on a three -wheeled self -propelled crew. The history of the global automotive industry began with this tricycle. How the first car in the world worked his invention, Benz equipped his inventory with a gasoline internal combustion engine.

There was his primitive evaporative carburetor, where gasoline for the preparation of the mixture was evaporated by a soaked rag. In the design of the motor, as in any ICE on gasoline, there was a candle of ignition, induction coil, a trambler, a battery and a throttle dashing in the form of a manual crane. There was also a simple water cooling system. The torque from the engine was transmitted to the rear wheels using a wise pulleys, gears and belts.

The main conical transmission without differential was also present, and nearby was a brake drum, as well as a semi -axis and a primitive suspension on double semi -elliptical springs. The front wheel of the suspension did not have. The role of adhesion in the car was played by a simple two -position blower, and a huge horizontal wheel of the flywheel was also a manual starter.

There was no generator on Benz Patent-Motorwagen, as there was no gearbox. There was no question of a gas pump either: fuel was supplied by a gravity from a tank that was located above the power unit. The world's first “Auto Round” first “Auto Round” was made by the wife of the inventor Bert. On the climbs, the car had to push, and the legend says that it was after this that Berte gave the idea to her husband to equip it with a gearbox.

In the year, Benza has united with Daimler, also engaged in the production of cars. All models were renamed: they began to be called "Mercedes -Benz" this name - Mercedes - was the name of the daughter of one of Daimler's partners. The concern after the death of its founder continued to go at the forefront of the automotive industry. In the year, the production of cars with a diesel engine began.

The first model with the diesel engine was Mercedes-Benz D. The first car in Russia according to one version, the first car in Russia appeared in the year. It was the Panar-Levassor brought from France.

However, according to the alternative interpretation of events, the Russian public saw the miracle technician in the year, and it was not Panar, but Benz Velo. The latter is a deeply modernized version of the above Benz Patent-Motorwagen and is considered the world's first serial four-wheeled car.
