The earliest inventor of the automobile.

In the 100-year history of automobiles, hundreds of people claimed to have invented automobiles at the earliest, but the winner of the first automobile in the world was German engineer karl benz. Karl benz was born in a train driver's family in 1844. His childhood left a deep impression on him, which cultivated his keen interest in vehicles, internal combustion engines and mechanical structures. When he grew up, after graduating from a comprehensive technical school, he became an apprentice in an iron factory and founded a machinery factory in Mannheim. From then on, he got his wish and devoted himself to studying machinery. Finally, at the age of 34, he successfully developed a two-stroke gas engine for the first time, and founded "Mercedes-Benz Company and Rhine Gas Engine Factory" in 1883.

1886, karl benz manufactured the world's first three-wheeled car powered by gasoline, and applied for an invention patent on June 29th of the same year. Therefore, 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, a horsepower of 0.89 HP and a speed of 15 km per hour. A car has a small front wheel and a large rear wheel. The engine is placed above the rear axle, and the power drives the rear wheel to move forward through the chain and gear. The 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 working, and the chain that transmitted power was of poor quality and often broke, people were often seen pushing the cart instead of riding it on the road where the car passed. In that carriage era, cars were laughed at and dismissed as useless monsters. Mercedes-Benz's wife, Beltas, led her two sons to drive a Mercedes-Benz repeatedly improved car from Mannheim in August 1888, and went straight to Pforzheim via Vislokh, with the whole journey 144 km. This historic experiment has contributed to the development of automobiles. Therefore, Mrs. Mercedes-Benz is called the world's first female car driver. Today, this Mercedes-Benz 1 car is displayed in the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Museum in Stuttgart, the birthplace of German cars.

1885 made the first motorcycle, and 1886 invented the first car. /kloc-from the end of 0/9 to the beginning of the 20th century, a number of automobile manufacturing companies appeared in the world, including Daimler and Mercedes-Benz, Ford in the United States, Rolls-Royce in Britain, Renault, Peugeot, Citroen and Fiat in Italy. During this period, people's main energy is constantly improving the mechanical structure of the car. That is to find a way to make the car run, fast and steady. There is no special designer for body modeling, and everyone follows the type of carriage invariably. Therefore, at that time, people called cars "carriages" without horses. German Mercedes-Benz patent number 1 car (patented Mercedes-Benz motor) model 1886: the earliest model made by Karl Benz, with three wheels and the first differential. The rear wheel is a chain-driven engine: single cylinder, displacement of 984ml, power of 0.89HP (British horsepower, 1HP=0.746KW), and the highest speed.
