Mercedes: The Stages Of A Long Journey
Happy Birthday Car is January 29, 1886. This is the date is on the patent number 37435, issued in Berlin, Karl Benz, who proposed the idea of 'NGV crew. " The word "NGV" should not be interpreted too narrowly. As written in the patent, the gas can be obtained from naphtha or other petroleum products, particularly from gasoline. Crew Benz was open, double and three-wheeled. The engine was located between the rear wheels, which were higher front. Instead of steering was a bit of reverse grip. With the help of chains motion passed on to the rear axle.
Crew Benz looked fine, but the reason for this was the first in what the engineer wanted to make the machine easy, because the motor was too weak – about two-thirds of horse power – and could not pull the heavy car. Benz used parts and designs, known for the production of bicycles. The first trip to the crew Benz made in autumn 1885. These attempts, as he recalled, ended in a collision with the factory walls. Gradually he was able to increase the distance traveled – first hundred meters, then kilometer. Until the spring rate of the crew has already reached 16 kilometers per hour, but every journey exposing new flaws and shortcomings. For example, Benz quickly abandoned the idea of magnetic electric lighting, as the brush of the generator during traffic on the bridge is constantly bouncing and the current will then flow was stopped. Benz stopped at elektrobatareyah.
