A review of the automotive industry in the world and Iran
It is very difficult for today's generation to imagine the life of humans before the invention of the car. Today, we do almost all of our work using machines, these lovely devices. What happened in the history that cars have developed so much and reached today will probably be very interesting to you. The history of the car, like the history of many technologies, has many points in its heart.
The beginning of the car history with the first inventor of the car
Unlike many great inventions, the original idea of a car cannot be attributed to one person. By examining the history of the car, you can see that in the Iliad, the Greek poet Homer's book, it is stated that the god of fire built a car for himself; This issue shows the historicity of human desire to use devices that make life easier.
Leonardo da Vinci proposed the idea of using a self-propelled car in the 15th century. In 1600 in Holland, Simon Stevin built a chariot that used wind power instead of horses; This chariot was equipped with a sail to use the power of the wind and had the ability to carry 28 passengers; The speed of this chariot reached 30 kilometers per hour, which was considered a very high speed. Other inventors paid attention to the possibility of using the clock mechanism to produce cars. In 1748, a carriage powered by a large clockwork engine was exhibited in Paris by Jacques de Vaucanson. But it was Karl Benz who produced the standard car for the first time and was able to produce several similar examples of it.
Steam Engine
The use of steam engine was noticed in the early 16th century. For the first time, it was Ferdinand Verbist, a member of the Christian Church in China, who produced a machine that moved using steam power. This car was built on a small scale and could not carry a driver.
