Introduction
That's when I remembered about it Karl Benz: "I stole my car! There were three of them, they operated in coordination and amicably. In my car, they were in love, even as I myself. But they tre bowali from him more than I... They wished to test the stolen car, to drive on him of 180 kilometers on rough roads. The company with Vagabond tendencies consisted of my wife and two sons". History of abduction — a turning point in the life and career of Benz and therefore deserves a detailed story.
In 1885 Carl demonstrated the burghers of Mannheim your three wheeled self-propelled carriage with a gasoline engine.
However the novelty has caused not so much interest, how much irritation.When Benz decided to drive around the city, the motor noise scared the horse butcher. She suffered, scattering cargo on the road. To hush up the scandal, Carl bought the spoiled goods, put the car under the canopy and his attention improved. Machine "stole" an early summer morning in 1888 when its founder slept. The eldest son Eugene got behind the wheel,next to it mother, behind — the younger brother. They went to nicks related to a small town Pforzheim. However, it was just before the log. Adventures and excitements in road was enough. At that time petrol was only available in a kerosene shop, where it sold as means for cleaning clothes from spots. Any problems in the vehicle industry was necessary to eliminate improvised means — for protist Ki got littered gasoline pipe line Berta used a long hatpin, and the tape from the cap — for fastening details of system of ignition. Each time, going down downhill, mother worried for boys —suddenly deteriorate wooden brake. Had no time ostanovili used and to ask rural shoemakers to re-upholster it with leather. The chain drive of back wheels were extended and have started to come off with the teeth
stars. Had to stay still in the forge.But for all their excitement and drudgery travelers were rewarded with a vengeance. Pforzheim residents came in droves to gawk at the three-wheeled "horseless carriage". About the long rally Bertha learned the whole of Germany, the press has turned serious
attention not only on her journey, but to Karl Benz. Since that time and began his path to fame and success. And yet it was different. The first car Benz made in 1885, represented three-wheeled double crew on high wheels with spokes. On the Benz put its new four-stroke gasoline engine with water cooling thicknesses 0.9 HP
The cylinder was located horizontally above the axis of the huge rear wheels and brought them in motion through one belt and two chain drives. The big, horizontally located flywheel found camping under the engine. He was connected with the crankshaft and bevel the front and whose was used for creation of uniform rotation and for starting the engine. Electric ignition fed from galvanic batteries — it was a better solution than nitro pipes Ki Gottlieb Daimler, who worked simultaneously and independently from bin CA (United only in 1926, having formed the company
"Daimler Benz AG"). Unlike wooden truck Daimler, Benz car had a frame soldered from metal tubes. MA bus developed by our standards ludicrous speed — 16 km/h,but in those days it was a very progressive design.With 1888 go year Charles has started to show their cars at the international automobile exhibitions, but nevertheless business was neither good nor bad. Wide popularity has come to Benz only after
five-day travel of its wife. By the way, historians consider him the world's first automobile race. As the car Benz, the journey of Bertha, too, became history. In 1893 Benz created the four-wheel vehicle, for patentowa own pivot rotating system managed
wheels. They turned one by one, and not entirely on a common axis —that was another technical victory for the Benz. Outdoor double
th crew on high wheels with completely closed motormuseum, in which was placed one-cylinder three-liter DVI Joc capacity about three "horses", was a labor of love Ben CA. No wonder he has named it Viktoria — "victory". After the creation of the "Victoria" business of the company was adjusted. Benz decided to create a series of FAC pages, adding to the powerful "Victoria" easy model "Conducted" (improved four-wheeled version of the first three-wheeled crew).
Issued since 1894 "Conducted" was, as consider, the first series of ing car (three years has been made 381 Avto). "Benz Ve lo", appeared in Russia in 1894, became a prototype of the first domestic car, constructed two years later E. P. Yakovlev and Frese. But all this is interesting only to specialists. Of course, the technical talent of Charles, his tireless struggle for novelty, mannocci products and quality of machines were that basis on which stood firm.
However, her finest hour was and will forever remain a journey Bertha. And now about the role of chance in history. The Austrians believe that the father of the founder of motor industry was not Benz, and them soutache stannic Siegfried Markus, which car exhibited in the Vienna technical Museum, recently taken under protection of the state in the register of the state monuments of Austria to him number has 3848/2001. The power of its engine makes 0,75 l/s, he created between 1875 and 1889 years. To more precisely date the year of birth might allow for a thorough examination of the major components of engine and chassis. So far it is known only one — design Marcus really is the oldest car surviving. Here is the answer to the question about the role of chance in history. , Irrespective of the fact whose priority will be established by the experts, we see — and Benz, and Daimler, and Markus, and many others moving in the same direction. Case tea has changed only Benz's destiny, but not translational movement technical thoughts. We have forgotten the founders of Marxism —
too odious has made their names and their works Soviet about paganda. But undeservedly forgotten. It is Friedrich Engels, followed by a stamped message that no one has refuted: through the chaos of chance makes its way to the need. So, that's the story of the creation of the first car.
