The Steam Engine •Cars at first were put simply, Thomas the Tank Engine without the rail roads • The first person who put the steam engine onto a ‘car’ to power it was Nicolas Joseph Cugnot. • Cugnot’s steam car reached, at that time, break- neck speeds of around 4 km/h • The steam engine was a failure because they took up a lot of space, added a lot of weight and most importantly weren’t consistent as they stopped every 10-15 minutes to build up steam power
- 5. Early Electric Engines •Electric engines aren’t as recent as most people seem to believe. The first electric powered automobile or carriage, in those days, was invented by Robert Anderson of Scotland • The idea was soon abandoned as they were heavy, slow and expensive due to the amounts of electricity and its availability in those times • This idea wasn’t a complete waste as from it we got tramways, streetcars and now electric trains

- 13. Design of anEarly Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)
- 14. Internal Combustion Engines(ICE) •Early experiments for this engine used gases. • Swiss engineer François Isaac de Rivaz used hydrogen and oxygen to create such an engine in 1806 • Our modern gasoline engines owe their credit to Siegfried Marcus who in 1870 put his gasoline powered engine on to a simple handcart and became the first to power car by gasoline
