1807 Nicé phore Nié and his brother Claude probably created the world’s pce first internal combustion engine which they called a Pyré olophore‚ but they chose to install it in a boat on the river Saone in France. Coincidentally‚ in 1807 the Swiss inventor Franç Isaac de Rivaz designed his own ’de Rivaz internal combustion ois engine’ and used it to develop the world’s first vehicle‚ to be powered by such an engine. The Nié pces’ Pyré olophore was fuelled by a mixture of Lycopodium powder (dried Lycopodium

Those engines were used to manufacture an automobile for fast travel from one place to another. Because they were not much in use‚ those few cars were not enough to threat the environment. Those engines were not fast enough so mastermind humans invented bigger and

the combustion process and are emitted into the atmosphere from the tail pipe. There are also hydrocarbons emitted as a result of vaporization of gasoline and from the crankcase of the automobile. The clean air act of 1977 set limits as to the amount of each of these pollutants that could be emitted from an automobile. The manufacturers answer was the addition of certain pollution control devices and the creation of a self-adjusting engine. 1981 saw the first of these self-adjusting engines. They

the end of Chris Paine’s lively and informative documentary‚ the idea doesn’t seem quite so strange. As narrator Martin Sheen notes‚ "They were quiet and fast‚ produced no exhaust and ran without gasoline." Paine proceeds to show how this unique vehicle came into being and why General Motors ended up reclaiming its once-prized creation less than a decade later. He begins 100 years ago with the original electric car. By the 1920s‚ the internal-combustion engine had rendered it obsolete. By the 1980s

The significance of Karl Benz‚ Gottlieb Daimler and the first Automobiles Towards the end of the industrial revolution‚ as the internal combustion engine developed‚ the opportunity to find an alternative to horse powered carriages arrived. According to G.N Georgano‚ Karl Benz‚ a German engineer who worked in his own workshop in Mannheim developed and built engines for a living. In the year 1885‚ he develops his first prototype. Named the Benz Patent Motorwagen‚ his three wheeled car is patented

A significant development occurred when Porsche- a German- invented a hybrid when he used an internal combustion engine and then combined it with an electric motor. This is recorded as the first hybrid car in the history. Later‚ in the start of twentieth century‚ Henry Ford- father of automobile industry- developed the first assembly line manufacturing plant
