The car is a great invention of mankind, which has made the world more accessible, and desire is more possibly. It is a luxury, and a means of movement, and an integral component of the image, style and character of the owner. The world of cars is endlessly diverse, interesting is amazing and saturated with many interesting facts that reveal this world sometimes with a completely amazing and unexpected side.

Well forgotten old?

The electric car, gaining popularity on modern roads and practically a new era sign in the automotive industry is not so new. The first self-propelled car, who managed to get involved at a distance of 1 km to a hundred km / h, was on an electric go, and it happened in the distance 1899. Two electric motors who managed to dispel the wheels to such an incredible speed for their time were located in their hubs.

It was a sports car, the body for which was collected from aluminum and foolframe in the Atelier Rothschildet Fils. The alloy was called Patriinium. Behind the wheel there was a Belgian Camill Maritzi, who was both the race car driver, and the author of the construction, which he called very peculiar - "unsatisfied" (Franz. La Jamais-Contente).

Genius Marketing

Non-religious Steve Jobs traveled exclusively on Mercedes Mercedes cars SL 55AMG, changing them at least once every six months. An interesting fact - they never had license plates. At the same time, he did not violate road legislation, because in California, when acquiring a new car, the owner has half a year in the reserve for registration. When the term came to an end, Steve passed his Mercedes-Benz back to the salon, with whom an agreement had, and instead I took a new SL 55. The mutual benefit was obvious - after returning the car on which the marketing genius was traveled, sold more expensive than new with conveyor.

Machines were not the first means of movement that received their own registration numbers. The first in history they were issued by the carts, hidden horses. For the first time, the German businessman who lives in Munich and wished to celebrate the car presented to his car and wished to celebrate the car presented with a special way. On the room were printed figures and initials of the beloved woman. With a difference in the year or two, Paris followed this example, and then New York and the capital of Great Britain. In modern license plates issued in Russia, only those alphabetic symbols that are present in the Latin alphabet and Cyrillic are allowed to use. They are not so much - only 12.

Subtleties of translation

When exporting cars to other countries, curiosities are often frequent due to their special sound in the local language. So, when delivering the Lada Kalina to Finland, it was found out that the word "kalina" in the Finnov language sounds like something rinse, eating crackles and rattling (which, by the way, very coincides with the opinion of many Russian motorists about the technical characteristics of the first batch of these products ). To the image of the manufacturer did not suffer, and this did not affect sales, the car was technically renamed for this country in a brief and correct LADA 119.

Symphony of exhaust pipes

The sound published by the exhaust pipe is not just noise. This is a whole orchestra under the control of the conducting stick - the tachometer arrows. Some Sport Sports Sports Sports Marks are engaged in serious specialists. For example, the exhaust published by Audi RS4 was created by highly professional specialists of the recording studio. The voice ensemble of the car is drawn up by all the rules - a deep and powerful lower bass, strong tenor sound in the center and pure soprano at the top.

The manufacturers of AC Cobra sports machines went further and patented the "music" of the exhaust pipes of their children. According to the technician of this company, the sound of the exhaust gas production system is its most important recognizable characteristic, inferior only to design, for the technical parameters of different sports cars (acceleration time and the most developed speed) are not much different from each other.

The fastest truck

The record of the speed developed by the cargo machine belongs to Ford, which has departed from the conveyor in 1941, intended for extinguishing fires. In 1995, he was purchased by a US citizen, Fire driver Shannon Seydel.

For almost 4 years, Shannon spent on refinement, tuning and improving the car, engaged in this in the fire garage owned by the Hawaiian administration. In 1998, the work was completed, and the record was the record, which is absolute to today - 655 km / h developed a fire truck called Hawaiian Eagle. After 10 years, Hawaiian Eagle was presented to the auction, and its starting price was $ 55,000.

Three-wheeled Liliput

The smallest of mass-produced cars came off the conveyor in 1962 in the UK. The length of the Peel P50 was only 134 cm, had a "height" of 120 cm and did not reach 1 cm to the meter width. Body material - fiberglass. Three existing wheels could dispersed the car up to 64 km / h. But there was no rear transmission in the car, so it could only go ahead. However, with the weight of the car in 59 kg, it did not imagine any problem simply lift it on one side, holding a hand for the bumper, and deploy. However, its mass consumer Peel P50 never found. Those who wish to buy a minimine was extremely small, and therefore after 3 years she was removed from production.

Surpass themselves

As is known, the record for carrying capacity and the size of the truck belongs to Belarusians with their famous BelAZ. Model 75710 was able to accommodate 450 tons, but this record was broken. New Bellase is equipped with 8 wheels, two diesel engines and a lifting capacity of 810 tons! By high-speed characteristics, he, of course, far from the Hawaiian Eagle, but 64 km / h for such a supermachine - very decent speed!

Get used to good quickly. Ride with the breeze on weekends. Countrywind or get to work on weekdays. Arrange a shopping trip or order delivery of long-awaited new furniture in the house. In all these cases and endeavors, the car is an indispensable assistant. And just any 250 years ago, the efforts of the inventors to create this new type of transport caused bewilderment and laughter.

First self-propelled vehicles

The prototype of the car at the vapor move appeared from the Chinese emperor in 1672. True, it was built as a toy. The mechanism has built a non-native resident of the country, but Flemandes Ferdinand Vorbist, a member of the Jesuit community in China.

Self-propelled four-wheeled strollers were created in Russia. Back in 1752, on November 1, the serf peasant of the Vyatka province Leonthi Shamshurenkov presented to Mikhail Lomonosov his invention in St. Petersburg. By the way, the first verstometer (peculiar speedometer) was invented by the same fortress. Leonthy Shamshurenkov also planned to build self-propelled sleigh with a verthometer, but Sanya was never built. Shamshurenkov also invented the design that was supposed to rush the king bell (and this mechanism remained in the drawings and was not embodied in life).

Kulibin scout

In 1791, the Russian engineer and inventor Ivan Kulibin created a three-wheel self-propelled crew containing almost all the main nodes of the future car. But it was not a car that uses the engine as a power plant, but the first cycle car, because his servant brought him in motion, which pressed on the pedals. In addition to such a curious mechanism, Kulibin pleased contemporaries with other interesting inventions - it was invented by bridges, a waterproof vessel, which was operated by the will (the ship was tightened by the rope to the anchor), the screw elevator, which raised the empress on the chair to the floor above, an egg-shaped clock with a sacred mechanism, spotlight lamp, mechanical leg prosthesis. In Russia, the "car" development of Kulibin and Shamshurenkov did not receive development, since the state did not see the potential in them, these devices were used as an attraction for entertainment known.

Machines of modern design

From the first inventors-pioneers to industrial production, the car has undergone not a change. Machines operating on the internal combustion engine came to replace the steamile and electric vehicles. Prior to the first model of Austrian Siegfried Marcus (1870), gas and hydrogen-oxygen mixtures were used as fuel. Markus became the first person using gasoline. Until the mass use of gasoline as a fuel, this petroleum product was considered to be considered no one and after distillation of oil were often poured into the river, while maintaining kerosene, it was used in lighting devices.

Car Marcus

The inventor of the modern car is the German engineer of Karl Benz. He built his first model in Mannheim in 1885. The internal combustion engine was four-stroke, with a volume of 1.7 liters and was installed on the rear wheels. T-shaped steering wheel and three huge wheels similar to modern bicycles, made it similar to self-propelled open carriage.

The serial release of cars with an internal combustion engine Karl Benz began in 1888 in Germany. At the same time, but under the license of Benz, Emil Roger opened production in France. Cars at the time were considered as a fashionable novelty, and not as a useful thing. Berta Benz, the spouse of the German inventor, tried to still show the suitability and utility of transport in everyday life. She first realized a long-distance travel between Mannheim and Pforzheim. In 2008, the route is officially recognized as a monument to German industrial history and has become a tourist. This road is named after Berth Benz.

Gradually, horse roses on the streets began to be replaced by cars. The latter, by the way, to say, at that time were considered an environmentally friendly transport of transport, compared with the crews of horses (followed by which it was necessary to clean). Just like wagons, cars were equipped with numbers. The first signs were issued in Munich in 1899. And the visual symbols on the rooms also appeared in Germany in 1901. In Russia, the first car sign was issued in Riga in 1904. To date, 12 letters and latitsa are used in Western countries in the designation of numbers. The first rules of the road accepted in France on August 14, 1893.

Joke. The first tractor was brought to the Russian village. Assembled peasants and tell how to use. The whole day was explained about the engine, gearbox, managing, maintenance, the benefits of a new vehicle. At the end of the day, one of the peasants is suitable and says: "All that we understand, nothing complicated, but I just don't understand where the horse is hardened."

In 1914, the French engineer, at the time of the service of Emperor Nikolai II, suggested using caterpillars instead of the rear axle wheels. This greatly facilitated the movement in the context of the Russian winter. The invention was patented as a suspension of Kegres. And it was this mechanism that was used on Austin-Putilovets-Kegress armored cars, which were used by the warring parties in the Russian Civil War.

Austin-kegress car

Henry Ford made a car affordable for ordinary people due to the introduction of a conveyor, but people who performed monotonous work every day received peculiar nervous disorders that are shown in one of the comedy Charlie Chaplin. For example, a person who at work has pressed the whole life on one button, in a conversation with another person constantly wants to push the intestinal buttons.
