The document traces the history and development of cars from their earliest origins to modern times. It discusses the first wind-powered vehicle invented in 1335, followed by the first steam-powered vehicle invented by Nicolas Joseph Cugnot in 1769. Electric vehicles were also an early focus, with the first electric carriage invented in 1832. Internal combustion engines were subsequently developed, starting with Christian Huygens' gunpowder design in 1680 and culminating in Daimler's four-stroke gasoline engine in the late 1800s. The gasoline car went on to outsell other vehicle types in the early 1900s, with early manufacturers including Panhard & Levassor, Peugeot, and RansomeEli Olds'

- 1. History Jay Lee Brian
- 2. Car is an automobile. Car is a vehicle, such as a streetcar, that runs on rails: a railroad car. Car is a motorized road vehicle designed to carry a small number of people. Today , the car influences own life very importantly.
- 3. The first car was invented in 1335. It was a windmill type drive to gears and thus to wheels.
- 4. In 1769, the very first self-propelled road vehicle was a military tractor invented by French engineer and mechanic, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot. He used a steam engine to power his vehicle, built under his instructions at the Paris Arsenal by mechanic Brezin. And he built a steam-powered tricycle that carried four passengers.
- 5. Between 1832 and 1839, Robert Anderson of Scotland invented the first crude electric carriage. Inventors were the first to use non-rechargeable electric cells. Frenchmen Gaston Plante invented a better storage battery in 1865 and his fellow countrymen Camille Faure improved the storage battery in 1881.
- 6. France and Great Britain were the first nations to support the widespread development of electric vehicles in the late 1800s. In 1899, a Belgian built electric racing car called " La Jamais Contente " set a world record for land speed - 68 mph - designed by Camille Jénatzy. In 1897, the first commercial application was established as a fleet of New York City taxis built by the Electric Carriage and Wagon Company of Philadelphia .
- 7. History of the Internal Combustion Engine - The Heart of the Automobile # An internal combustion engine is any engine that uses the explosive combustion of fuel to push a piston within a cylinder - the piston's movement turns a crankshaft that then turns the car wheels via a chain or a drive shaft. The different types of fuel commonly used for car combustion engines are gasoline (or petrol), diesel, and kerosene.
- 8. 1680 - Dutch physicist, Christian Huygens designed (but never built) an internal combustion engine that was to be fueled with gunpowder. 1873 - American engineer developed an unsuccessful two-stroke kerosene engine . However, it was considered the first safe and practical oil engine . 1889 - Daimler built an improved four-stroke engine with mushroom-shaped valves and two V-slant cylinders . 1890 - Wilhelm Maybach built the first four-cylinder, four-stroke engine .
- 9. The Gasoline cars started to outsell all other types of motor vehicles in by the early 1900s. The first car manufacturers in the world were French: Panhard & Levassor (1889) and Peugeot (1891). Rene Panhard and Emile Levassor built their first car in 1890 using a Daimler engine .
- 10. America's first gasoline-powered commercial car manufacturers were Charles and Frank Duryea . The first automobile to be mass produced in the United States was the 1901, Curved Dash Oldsmobile , built by the American car manufacturer RansomeEli Olds (1864-1950). 1891, Panhard and Levassor vehicle with front engine.
