Why Did Camille Jatzy Break The Car

* It had many problems like brittle axles, stuck in the mud (as there weren’t that many paved roads), engine burned out easily

For my Realistic Fiction Book Talk assignment I have read the realistic fiction book Car Trouble written by Jeanne DuPrau.

In 1914, the British Lieutenant-Colonel Ernest Swinton, proposed the idea of a new fighting vehicle When he presented his idea to the government, and the Royal Navy supported his idea. It came from the development of farming vehicles that could cross difficult land easily by using caterpillar tracks. By June 9th, 1915, an agreement with the characteristics of this new vehicle were defined, it should have: “a top speed of 4 mph on flat land, the ability to turn sharply at top speed, the ability to climb a 5-feet parapet, the ability to cross an 8-feet gap and a working radius of 20 miles.” With all these conditions, an armored combat vehicle that moved on chain tracks was

In 1903 the Quadracycle's successor was designed and named the Model A, the Model A was much more refined and technologically advanced. Using a new two-cylinder engine it produced nine horsepower and featured a two-speed transmission with a chain driven drive train that had a maximum speed of 30 miles per hour, and sold for a pricey 850 dollars (Wise 77). Not more than a year later the Ford Motor Co. was introducing new models, the Model C & F were only updated model A's but the new Model B was a

The first electric car in the United States was created by William Morrison and could reach a then-pretty-impressive 14 miles per hour. Electric cars, however, still remained more popular in Europe than in the US.

     The birth of the automobile was truly something special. Once a far fetched dream is now what many people believe to be the back bone of the American economy. When people think about the automobile the name that comes to mind is most usually Henry Ford. Although he is not credited with the invention of the automobile, Henry Ford played a crucial role in the development of mass production. The automobile was first invented Europe in 1771 with a top speed of 2.3 miles per hour. A man by the name of Gottliech Daimler produced what was known as the milestone car in 1889, this vehicle traveled at 10 miles per hour (Brown, 105). Not more then a handful of these cars were produced over seas. Not many people had ever

(Internal Summary) Veyron produces 1001 horsepower, which has a top speed of 253.81 mph and gives 13 miles on highway and 8 on city.

Chevy’s for life The Chevrolet, one of the best everyday vehicle ever made in US history. Dating back to over 100 years ago, in 1913 chevrolet manufactured their first car; the Series C Classic 6 in Flint, Michigan. The car could reach up to speeds at 65 mph, back then this was the fastest transportation. Although it was a pretty penny costing $2,150, that doesn't sound like much, but back then 2,000 is equivalent to 50,000 today.

In 3500 BC a wooden cylinder was connected to a stable; this contraption is called a wheel. This made it easier to haul farming equipment from one field to another. Only men used the invention because women were never out in the field (Revolutionary). The only form of transportation until the year of 1769 was train, horse and carriage, then, the first car was invented. “Nicolas Joseph Cugnot was a French military engineer and built the car for hauling auxiliary” (II history). The maximum speed of the 8,000 pound car was two miles per hour, carried four passengers and ran out of gas in about fifteen minutes (history staff). This car was very expensive, the few men that owned them were the only people to drive them. Women were thought to have

In the 1800s the development of the battery and the electric motor led to the first electric vehicles on the road. It is hard to pinpoint the invention of the electric car to just one inventor or country so several inventors have been given credit for the invention of the electric car. A Hungarian named Anyos Jedlik invented a small model car powered by an electric motor in 1828. And roughly between the years of 1832 and 1839, Robert Anderson of Scotland invented a crude electric carriage. Also in 1835 Professor Stratingh of Groningen, Holland built another small electric car with his assistant Christopher Becker. There was another inventor named Thomas

     Acceleration and Speed are obviously the two defining characteristics of a fast car. Newton’s three laws of motion are an essential part in determining how fast a

The Curtiss JN-4D was an American trainer used throughout World War One. It had a 90 horsepower engine and it's maximum speed was 75 miles per hour. This sounds pretty dismal, but it was a good airplane for it's time and an excellent trainer aircraft, once again, for it's time. It's ceiling (how high it could fly) was 6,500 feet. Our aircraft now can fly as high as 80,000 feet, but it was the best they had back in those days. It had, though this didn't overcome it's other defecencies, good manueverability, even though it was a two seater airplane. Later versions of it made changes to the wings, rudder, elevators, and ailerons. They rounded the rudder, changed the shape of the wings, added ailerons to both wings, and added elevators.

Many other people continued the development and improvement of electric automobiles and for a time electric automobiles were the preferred type of Automobile because of their quiet ride, quick start-up, and lack of pollution. In fact electric automobiles held the land speed record well into the early 1900’s. However, they began to decline in the early 1900’s because of the increased prevalence and efficiency of the internal combustion engine.
