  • 110 Years Since Mercedes' Dad Bought His First
    110Years Since Mercedes' Dad Bought His First Car In 1897, successful German-born businessman Emil Jellinek bought his first car from genius inventor Gottlieb Daimler. He became an enthusias- tic fan of the automobile, took part in the earliest motor races, and quickly became the largest distributor of Daimler cars. A few months after Herr Daimler's death in 1900, Jellinek persuaded the management of the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft to have its chief designer, legendary and visionary engineer Wilhelm Maybach, build a fast, lightweight Emil Jellinek didn't only love Daimler cars; he also and safe car. Jellinek also made a second sugges- doted on his daughter, Mercédès. tion: the new car should bear the name of his daughter, Mercédès, who was then ten years old. And what a new car it was. More advanced than any other of the time, there's no disputing that it set the pattern for all that was to come for many decades. Essentially, it defined the car as we know it today. Of course, during the previous 15 years since Karl Benz had patented his three-wheeler, all sorts of contraptions, both European and American, had been produced that proved capable of moving under their own power, more or less, but none but the 1901 Mercedes deserved billing as "The This example of the first Mercedes was owned by U.S. World’s First Modern Automobile."

  • Overview of Automotive Industry
    Overview of Automotive Industry First automobile with petrol engine was built on 1885 and soon the figure for total cars in the world will be touching a mark of 1000 million cars and light trucks. This article presents a quick overview of what we mean with Automative Industry and how it started and what is the scale of this industry today. The automotive industry designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and sells motor vehicles, and is one of the earth's most important economic sectors by revenue. The term automotive industry usually does not include industries dedicated to automobiles after delivery to the customer, such as repair shops and motor fuel filling stations. The first practical automobile with a petrol engine was built by Karl Benz in 1885 in Mannheim, Germany. Benz was granted a patent for his automobile on 29 January 1886, and began the first production of automobiles in 1888, after Bertha Benz, his wife, had proved with the first long- distance trip in August 1888 (104 km from Mannheim to Pforzheim and back) that the horseless coach was absolutely suitable for daily use. Since 2008 a Bertha Benz Memorial Route commemorates this event. Soon after, in 1889, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in Stuttgart designed a vehicle from scratch to be an automobile, rather than a horse-drawn carriage fitted with an engine. They also are usually credited as inventors of the first motorcycle, the Daimler Reitwagen, in 1885, but Italy's Enrico Bernardi, of the University of Padua, in 1882, patented a 0.024 horsepower (17.9 W) 122 cc (7.4 cu in) one-cylinder petrol motor, fitting it into his son's tricycle, making it at least a candidate for the first automobile, and first motorcycle.

  • History of the Internal Combustion Engine
    1 2 THE HISTORY OF THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE Sorin RAŢIU1 1UNIVERSITY « POLITEHNICA » TIMIŞAORA FACULTY OF ENGINEERING HUNEDOARA ABSTRACT The article presents a brief outline of the history of the internal combustion engine industry. Engine design and car design were integral activities, almost all of the engine designers mentioned in the article also designed cars, and a few went on to become major manufacturers of automobiles. All of these inventors and more made notable improvements in the evolution of the internal combustion vehicles. KEYWORDS history, internal combustion engine 1. INTRODUCTION 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. Many people claimed the invention of the internal combustion engine in the 1860's, but only one has the patent on the four stroke operating sequence. In 1867, Nikolaus August Otto, a German engineer, developed the four-stroke "Otto" cycle, which is widely used in transportation even today. Otto developed the four-stroke internal combustion engine when he was 34 years old. The Diesel Engine came about in 1892 by another German engineer, Rudolph Diesel. The Diesel engine is designed heavier and more powerful than gasoline engines and utilizes oil as fuel. Diesel engines are a commonly used in heavy machinery, locomotives, ships, and some automobiles. It is important to mention that the basic operating principles of these engines have been around for more than a hundred years and they are still in place.

  • How the Museum Saw the Motorcar?
    How the Motor Museum Saw the Automobile: Curating the Automobile as Commodity, as Design and as Social History in Germany and Austria in the 20th Century from National Identity to Mobility. Thesis - submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Pál Négyesi School of Museum Studies University of Leicester October 2018 1 Abstract How the motor museum saw the automobile: Curating the automobile as commodity, as design and as social history in Germany and Austria in the 20th century – from national identity to mobility. The automobile has defined the 20th century. It has brought along radical changes in mobility, altered the landscape, transformed communities and everyday life. Although this complex object has been shown in museums for over a century, an in-depth academic study which looks at the different institutions and changing curatorial practices around the automobile has been lacking. This thesis charts the evolution of the motor museum in Germany and Austria. Here the motor museum is being defined as a museum where automobiles are displayed. It includes science, technical, industrial museums, local history museums and company museums. This thesis draws upon the work of Lubar (Lubar&Kingery,1993) and Divall (Divall&Scott,2001) in order to conceptualise the car as a museum object and as an object of material culture. With the help of fifteen case studies it analyses the different type of museums, their development, their curatorial practices and their permanent and temporary exhibitions, in order to understand the different roles the automobile has played (and is playing) in these institutions.

  • What You Always Wanted to Know About Motorcycles but Were Afraid to Ask!
    What You Always Wanted to Know About Motorcycles But Were Afraid to Ask! “A motorcycle, often called a motorbike, bike, or cycle, is a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. Motorcycle design varies greatly to suit a range of different purposes: long-distance travel, commuting, cruising, sport including racing, and off-road riding. Motorcycling is riding a motorcycle and related social activity such as joining a motorcycle club and attending motorcycle rallies. The 1885 Daimler Reitwagen made by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in Germany was the first internal combustion, petroleum-fueled motorcycle. In 1894, Hildebrand & Wolfmüller became the first series production motorcycle. In 2014, the three top motorcycle producers globally by volume were Honda (28%), Yamaha (17%) (both from Japan), and Hero MotoCorp (India). In developing countries, motorcycles are considered utilitarian due to lower prices and greater fuel economy. Of all the motorcycles in the world, 58% are in the Asia-Pacific and Southern and Eastern Asia regions, excluding car-centric Japan. According to the US Department of Transportation, the number of fatalities per vehicle mile traveled was 37 times higher for motorcycles than for cars.” – Wikipedia This free ebook is brought to you by Two Tone Powersports of Spanaway, Washington.

  • Automotive in the Neckar-Alb Region: a Strong Location
    The automotive industry is at home right here www.neckaralb.de Automotive in the Neckar-Alb region: A strong location The Neckar-Alb region is a place of origin for the automobile: Two young engineers who were to change the world together met in the Bruderhaus workshops in Reutlingen: Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach – the developers of the first fast-running gasoline engine and the first four-wheeled motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine. The industry is extremely strong: About 200 companies with approximately 32,000 employees work in Neckar-Alb, along the entire automotive value chain. Electro-mobility as a key to sustainable mobility is also being driven into the future here by the suppliers, thanks to the close proximity to the OEMs. This automotive cluster is the foundation for cooperation and synergies, which provides an indispensable contribution to the increase of competitiveness. Against the backdrop of global competition, ever shorter product cycles, strict international quality standards and significant technological changes, every automotive company needs such a strong cluster. In order to master these challenges, companies need the best specialists in their field – and they can be found here. Hardly any other region in Europe has as many highly qualified engineers and techni- cians as the state of Baden-Württemberg, in the middle of which is the Neckar-Alb region. A future-oriented network based on economics and research The networking of science and entrepreneurial spirit is a significant factor when selecting a location. Welcome The automotive cluster in the Neckar-Alb region is one of the strongest in Germany.

  • History of Manufacturing Automobiles
    HISTORY OF AUTOMOBILE AND ITS MANUFACTURING HISTORY OF AUTOMOBILE AND ITS MANUFACTURING Exactly who invented the motor car is to a great extent lost in the mists of history. Many engineers in different countries were working on the same general lines in the middle of the nineteenth century deriving inspiration from the early steam buses and coaches. They all felt the need for a more compact and convenient prime mover to get into a horseless age. EUROPE: Belgium and Germany Etienne Lenoir in Belgium demonstrated a self-propelled vehicle driven by a type of atmospheric engine in 1860. Though the engine was hopelessly inefficient, it did have the merit of quick starting, and unlike steam vehicles, did not need frequent and large dose of water. This engine interested Nicholas Otto, a young German, as he observed its lack of punch and reasoned that more power could be obtained by compressing the charge before feeding it into the cylinder. Otto did this with great success and the idea was an essential step towards the true four-stroke engine. Around 1872, Otto was helped and encouraged to develop the four-stroke system by Gottfried Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, who joined Otto’s company (by then called Gasmotoren-Fabrik Deutz). Otto perfected the true four-stroke cycle and it was this power unit that opened the way to the motor age. Another pioneer in the area, Karl Benz had worked with Daimler at one time in their careers for the same locomotive works in Karlsruhe. Karl Benz is credited with being the first to make a gasoline-engined car for people to buy: a car conceived as entity and not just a carriage with an engine replacing the horse.
