DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMOBILES IN MEANS OF TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN

 








 

 
Olden era Motorcycle Kingdom Rulers were simple mopeds,motorcycles with lower configurations...These were just bicycles with a small internal combustion engines.
These engines were propelled by fossil fuels. The fuel mainly used was petrol,some of them even used kerosene and gasoline too

These were developed during 18th Century. The earlier engines were steam engines. The internal combustion engines used were lighter and had more practical users than its predecessor.

Most of the linkages employed were of hitching motion configurations. The omition of the combusted charges were plenty. It employed direct combustion of fuel and no efficient parts such as carburetor or atomizer were used. Sprayers with pores were used to assist in easy combustion.

The road motion of the vehicles were obtained through wooden wheels which were wane. Later the wooden wheels were strapped with metal strip on its circumference.....

Later improvements were achieved replacing these wooden wheels with rimmed metal wheels and propped rubber coating on these metal wheels in order to reduce road shocks and assist in smooth running..

In later stages the fuel sprayers were replaced by carburetors and injectors..

Air cooled engines which were of single cylinders were turned out periodically to multi cylinder engines through the process of conversion from single cylinder to twin cylinders,four cylinders,six cylinders and so on....


Moving parts were made more durable in order to withstand more working stress..The forge worked parts were improved through moulding techniques..
Good quality of steel were used for the manufacture process..

The wooden body works were replaced and worked
off through heavier metal works...for the reason of increased kerb weight of the vehicle these metals were made ductile and sheet metal techniques were brought into use..

Science of Aerodynamics were employed to improve the efficiency in means of speed and reduction in air resistance and improve over all performance ..

Cooling system were improved from air cooling to water cooling and coolant were used in later stages...
