  • The story of the automobile is not one of instant gratification and overnight success, turns out a lot of failure laid the groundwork for the modern automobile. Join Nolan Sykes as he examines the strange machines that predated the car, and why they didn’t work out. From Ferdinand Verbiest’s steam cart, to the totally metal-sounding Puffing Devil of Richard Trevithick. These are the “not-cars” before cars.

      The evolution of human intelligence is mind boggling. Looking at the boat which we’ve seen in biblical times was an astronomical invention that would lead to trades, transporting equipment faster, of course warfare was changed forever in those days all because people had to think outside of the box. Weapons are the same thing from fists, to spears, bows, bronze weapons, iron, steel weapons, etc. steam engines was a huge step forward for production and transportation unimaginable to humans since it traveled further and faster than horse carriage. The invention of the engine alone sky rocketed everything quickly to cars and planes which changed everything of how people live today.

    Once my brother in law - a Brazilian - told me, when we were driving around in Stuttgart: „But Ford invented the car.“ I tried to keep calm, turned the car around, drove him to the part of Stuttgart, where Gottlieb Daimler built (and invented in parallel to Benz) the first car together with Maybach, forced him out of my car, told him to enter the small cabin where one can see some remains of Daimler‘s workshop, shouted at him: „And now, the fuck, you will stand still between the busts of Daimler and Maybach, I take a picture and if you ever again dare to say, that Ford invented the car, I will fly over to Brazil and make you eat one of those!“
    Did not hear back from him for a while :-)

      @@huskiehuskerson5300 Nope. Amédée Bollée hold that honour. He made a steam car, called l'Obéissante (the Obediante). After successfully driving it but failing to sell it, he designed a second one called La Mancelle, and built 50 of them and sold them though his company, «Amédée Bollée & Fils» (Amédée Bollée and sons). This was in 1875 and 1878, making Amédée Bollée the creator of the first series-produced car (as every vehicle made before were built only once and improved on) and making Bollée the first automotive company (although you can argue that like Peugeot, the company was not created as a car company but branched in automobile).
      To add more to Amédée Bollée credit, he also invented the (probably) first road truck, which he called Marie-Anne, which was able to haul 100 tons on flat road or 35 tons on more difficult roads, in 1879.
      What Carl Benz and his company, Benz & Cie, can be credited for, is to have been the first to sell petrol-powered cars through his company (but like Bollée and Peugeot, Benz & Cie was founded to built industrial engines, not cars), and to have patented it.
      Note that Carl Benz didn't patented or created the first internal combustion engine either, as both Nicéphore Niepce (yes, the man that invented photography) and Isaac De Rivaz patented internal combustion engines, both in 1807. Rivaz for a stationnary engine, Niepce for a boat engine : the Pyréolophore.

    The steam driven cart of 1769 is part of train history, weirdly. The only reason is because it was the first steam driven vehicle, technically. Because of this, Richard Trevithick made the Puffing Devil in 1801, then 3 years after he made the first Steam Locomotive (Train), an important part of railroading history.

    **Modern cars still have issues with exploding boilers. I recently decided to switch from burning coal to wood stove pellets in my 2016 Toyota. I'm just glad they've recently opened more water fill up stations in the Philadelphia area. Nothing sucks more than having your boiler run dry because you forgot to fill it up before you left for work! My buddy's 2019 Honda Accord has a larger water holding capacity in its boiler, so he can drive back and forth to work(30 miles) for 4 straight days without needing to refill his boiler! My wife's Porsche Panamera has the new triple expansion steam engine that makes lots of power, but to save on weight, it's got a small water capacity, so she's got to refill her boiler every day! As a sports car, it only runs on anthracite coal, which isn't available at every filling station.....**

    Christopher Spencer was an American inventor famous for inventing the Spencer Repeating Rifle and Carbine and manufacturing them for the US Army and Navy during the Civil War. He built a "Horseless Carriage" that was steam powered to commute to his factory, but it made so much noise and scared carriage horses so badly that local citizens forced him to stop driving it.

    Funny detail about Lenoir's Hippomobile: Lenoire built gas engines (not gasoline or patrol real gas) he generated the gas with an electrolytic process, using electrical current from batteries, this makes his car with internal combustion also an electric car.
    Maybe some people have some doubts about this complicated process and Lenoir never really went into the automobile construction, therefor he has only little influence on the development of the automobile.

The actual inventor seems to be Christian Reithmann, who got a patent for the four-stroke engine in 1860 in Germany. The patent ran out in 1861 already, and Otto took over it in 1862 for a 'generous compensation'. Beau-de-Rochas described the principle of the four-stroke engine independently and patented in in 1862 in France. However, he didn't actually build such an engine and also didn't develop it further.

Here in Australia learnt that it was Benz's Motorwagen in school when I was 6 or 7 years old, and that Edison was a bit of a psychotic thief who is generally credited with inventing the lightbulb, but that our entire modern electric grid is built on Tesla's ideas and inventions when we were like 12.

Hemi combustion chambers. Great paint job and the seats made a bed. Sun roof and Michelin X were standard equip. The aluminum head on the cast iron block with liners had to be retorqued often. (20K) Really well balanced and a pleasure to drive. The seat fabric lasted about 2 years. It had 4 speeds on the column. The French are very innovative. I think it was a mistake to market in the USA with Renault.
