Extended data:
65438+1October 29th is considered as the world automobile birth day, and 1886 is the world automobile birth year. The car is equipped with a horizontal single-cylinder two-stroke gasoline engine, with a volume of 785cc, 0.89 horsepower and a speed of 15 km/h.
A car has a small front wheel and a large rear wheel. The starter is placed above the rear axle, and the power drives the rear wheel forward through the chain and gear. This car has some basic characteristics of modern cars, such as electric ignition, water cooling cycle, steel tube frame, leaf spring suspension, rear wheel drive, front wheel steering, brake handle and so on. Its rack-and-pinion steering gear is the originator of modern automobile steering gear.
At that time, because the performance of the car was not perfect, the engine was noisy when it was working, and the chain that transmitted power was of poor quality and often broke, people were often seen pushing the cart instead of holding it on the road where the car passed. In that carriage era, cars were laughed at and dismissed as useless monsters.
Ben Ci's wife, berta benz Ci, led her two sons to start from Mannheim in August 1888, and went straight to Pforzheim via Vislokh, with a total distance of144km. This historic experiment has contributed to the development of automobiles.
