  • History of the Automobile
    HISTORY OF THE AUTOMOBILE Worked by: Lara Mateus nº17 10º2 Laura Correia nº18 10º2 Leg1: the first car. THE EARLY HISTORY The early history of the automobile can be divided into a number of eras, based on the prevalent means of propulsion. Later periods were defined by trends in exterior styling, size, and utility preferences. In 1769 the first steam powered auto-mobile capable of human transportation was built by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot. In 1807, François Isaac de Rivaz designed the first car powered by an internal combustion engine fueled by hydrogen. In 1886 the first petrol or gasoline powered automobile the Benz Patent-Motorwagen was invented by Karl Benz.This is also considered to be the first "production" vehicle as Benz made several identical copies. FERDINAND VERBIEST Ferdinand Verbiest, a member of a Jesuit mission in China, built the first steam-powered vehicle around 1672 as a toy for the Chinese Emperor. It was of small enough scale that it could not carry a driver but it was, quite possibly the first working steam-powered vehicle. Leg2: Ferdinand Verbiest NICOLAS-JOSEPH CUGNOT Steam-powered self-propelled vehicles large enough to transport people and cargo were first devised in the late 18th century. Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot demonstrated his fardier à vapeur ("steam dray"), an experimental steam-driven artillery tractor, in 1770 and 1771. As Cugnot's design proved to be impractical, his invention was not developed in his native France. The center of innovation shifted to Great Britain. NICOLAS-JOSEPH CUGNOT By 1784, William Murdoch had built a working model of a steam carriage in Redruth.

The land for the new speedway was about one and a half miles in length and about a half mile wide, covering an area of about 320 acres. 1 “Details of the New Motor Speedway Planned by the Hoosiers,” Motor Age, 21 January 1909, Volume XV No. 3, p. 27. The outside – or oval – track was to be fifty feet wide on the straights and sixty feet wide in the curves, while the inside – or road – track was to be twenty-five feet wide on the straights and thirty-five feet in the turns. The three main grandstands would have a capacity of thirty-five thousand with an additional twenty smaller grandstands, raised ten feet above the track, holding about fifty spectators at various locations along the outer track. The club house of the Indian- apolis Motor Car Club would be located on the grounds, along with buildings to house training quarters and storage for racing teams.

  • Du Bureau De : Alain Bublex
    du bureau de : alain bublex alain bublex in : Auto-photo / catalogue de l'exposition / Fondation Cartier pour l'art contempo- rain / éditions Xavier Barral / Paris, 2017 À L'ABRI DU VENT ET DE LA PLUIE, une brève histoire du design automobile Écrire une histoire suppose toujours un début, un point de départ afin de déterminer le moment où elle commence. Une histoire même brève de l’automobile devrait donc s’ouvrir par la première du genre, la première voiture à moteur ou la première à se déplacer par ses propres moyens. La nôtre sera une histoire courte. Je me suis engagé à la réduire à trente voitures marquantes qui partageraient la caractéristique de constituer par leur innova- tion une étape décisive dans l’évolution de l’automobile. L’idée est de s’inté- resser en premier lieu à la forme d’ensemble, à la manière dont les différents éléments qui composent une automobile aujourd’hui ont été disposés au fil du temps, assemblés dans un jeu d’interrelations très particulier, inventant progressivement à la fois des formes singulières et de nouveaux usages. Il ne s’agit pas d’une histoire de l’innovation technique s’intéressant à des caracté- ristiques mécaniques précises, ni d’une histoire des styles de carrosserie, mais plus globalement d’une histoire de l’équilibre des relations entre la technique, les formes et les usages. La notoriété (une qualité trompeuse) n’a pas été un critère pour cette sélection. Si certaines voitures retenues sont très célèbres, j’ai volontairement choisi des modèles moins connus chaque fois que cela était possible afin que cette histoire ne soit pas encore une fois l’occasion de lustrer avec tendresse de vieilles gloires, mais plutôt celle de mieux laisser transparaître les errances, les hésitations et les tensions propres à toute activité créative.

    20_26 Proud_revoluce_Tatra 18.3.2006 14:52 Stránka 20 Na jaře 1934 Tatra šokovala automobilový svět: její nový typ T 77 s aerodynamickou karoserií pětimetrové délky a vzduchem chlazeným vidlicovým osmiválcem v zádi se nepodobal ničemu, co v té době po silnicích jezdilo. Avantgardní proudnicový vůz rozpoutal revoluci, jež po čtyřech desetiletích skončila ve slepé uličce.

Hans Ledwinka (1878–1967), tvůrce le- gendárního lidového dvouválce Tatra 11 s páteřovým rámem z roku 1923 a řady dalších úspěšných konstrukcí. V roce 1930 nastoupil do konstrukčního oddě- lení tehdy šestadvacetiletý Ledwinkův syn Erich a pustil se do vývoje nového lidového automobilu, tentokrát se vzdu- chem chlazeným dvouválcovým moto- rem umístěným za zadní nápravou. Tak se vroce 1933 zrodil kompaktní čtyř- místný automobil V 570 s dvoudveřo- vou karoserií výrazně zaoblených tvarů, jenž se jako zázrakem dodnes dochoval vkopřivnickém muzeu. Ve stejné době a v podobném duchu rozpracoval kopřivnický konstruktér ing. Erich Übelacker projekt velkého automobilu s osmiválcovým motorem v zádi, jehož čtyřdveřová karoserie ještě odvážněji směřovala k aerodynamické- mu ideálu, který svými návrhy proudni- cových tvarů již od počátku dvacátých let prosazoval vídeňský rodák maďar- Prototyp revoluční Tatry 77 na snímku pořízeném v zimě 1933–34 ského původu Paul Jaray (1889–1974). Od roku 1926 měl Jaray svá řešení au- tomobilových karoserií chráněná paten- ty a ing. Übelacker se tedy na něj v pří- pravné fázi obrátil.
