تاریخچه خودرو در جهان
In 1769, the Frenchman Nicolas Joseph Cuneo put the first car equipped with a steam engine on the road. So why do many people believe that the car was invented by Daimler or Benz? Maybe because both Daimler and Benz succeeded in making practical gasoline cars in the era of modern automobile manufacturing. That is, Benz and Daimler were able to design cars similar to today's cars. But looking back, we realize that introducing Benz and Daimler as car inventors is a great injustice to history.
Combustion engines: the heart of the automotive industry
Combustion engine is a mechanism that uses the fuel explosion inside the cylinder to move the piston. The movement of the piston causes the crankshaft to rotate, and the rotation of the crankshaft through a chain or drive shaft causes the wheels to move. Different fuels such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene are used in a combustion engine. The production of an engine and its testing on a vehicle are inseparable processes, and therefore by following the timeline of the development of the internal combustion engine, we can find signs of the creation of the automobile.
The history of the combustion engine can be summarized as follows. 1680 - Dutch physicist Christian Hohens designed a combustion engine with gunpowder fuel (but never built it). 1807 - Swiss Francois Isaac de Rivas created a combustion engine with fuel consisting of oxygen and hydrogen. did Rivas also created a car for his combustion engine, which was an unsuccessful design.
1824 - English engineer Samuel Brown was inspired by Newcomen's gas-burning steam engine and used it to power a vehicle. This car was tested at Shooter Hill in London.
1858 - Belgian engineer Jean-Georges Etienne Lenoir invented a coal-fueled combustion engine that was ignited by an electric spark. In 1863, Lenoir upgraded his engine with a primitive carburetor and petroleum fuel and mounted it on a three-wheeled wagon and was able to travel a historic distance of about 50 miles.
1862 - French engineer, Alphonse Boudoir Rocha designed a four-stroke engine, but did not build it. The cart was able to travel a distance of about 500 feet. He later designed a vehicle that could travel at a speed of 10 miles per hour in a short period of time. Some historians mention Marcus's invention as the first gasoline device in the world. 1873 - American engineer George Brighton created a two-stroke engine with kerosene fuel. Although this invention was incomplete, it was the first safe and practical oil model in the history of the automobile at that time. 1866 - German engineers, Eigen Langen and Nicolas August Otto, improved the designs of Lenoir and De Rocha and created a more efficient gas engine. 1876-Nicolas August Otto invented a successful four-stroke engine and registered it. 1883 French engineer, Edouard Delamar Deboteauville created a single-cylinder four-stroke engine that worked with a gas stove! It is not known if Debutoville was able to build a car using this engine. Nevertheless, his design was very advanced at that time and, at least on paper, it was ahead of Daimler.
