Testing Day Period Is Due

    Karl Benz


    Creator of iconic brands, Benz was a pioneer in the manufacture of cars in Europe.
    His full name was Karl Friedrich Benz was born November 25, 1844 in a German city called Karlsruhe, graduate studies and 20 years of mechanical engineer and although at the beginning not worked for what I studied, she worked in a foundry, keeping in mind its objective of starting your own business of engines.

    Since young I thought in means of transport that were powered by engines and not by animals, and began to experiment with 2-wheel vehicles. Years later, when putting together some capital, accomplished partner to open a machine shop, and the following year he married Bertha Ringer, a woman who was an important part in his achievements as an inventor. Unfortunately this business flourished and foundered.

    This failure helped him work on engine development, an idea he had from his years of study. It is then able to develop in 1878 when an internal combustion engine 2-stroke, seven years later, he built a tricycle that was what made him famous, and he had an engine, single cylinder, 0'88 horsepower.

    In the first tests were done to this engine in Munich, things did not go as he expected, prompting derision from those who watched the practices. Still manages Patent No. 37435 Motorwagen model (vehicle with 3 wheels, lightweight and able to reach 15 km / h) as the creator of the first vehicle able to move with an internal combustion engine.

    So the first step was taken. Now with patent in hand, the next step was to further develop and evolve. First of all, Benz took over the experiences in improving 4-stroke engines in 1884 by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Haybech. One such change that Benz applied to what Daimler had already made was to create not only the motor but also a suitable chassis for him is amazing to think that the company Daimler Benz merged in the future, but its founders never became known.

    is good stress, and as a curious fact, that never wanted to drive Daimler a car, and even worse was his death due to disruptions caused him a trip to one of their vehicles, sometimes life is rather ironic, no?

    Later, another momentous event occurs in this story was the discovery of a major hydrocarbon energy, which is called Benzine. Its discoverer was Eilhard Milscherlich. This oil will eventually become the ideal fuel for vehicles or motor cars. For 1886, Benz cars were ready to go on sale, the problem was that by that time there were many people who could afford a car let alone if the reliability was still in question, first because the car was uncomfortable and unstable, advertising not favored and having no prospects, there were not many opportunities for trade, and here comes into play the third and last event that solved problems Benz, help and support of his wife, Bertha.
    Seeing her husband's invention calaba not trust the Germans, decided to take a trip with their 2 children between the cities of Mannheim and Pforzheim about 100 km long road in a deplorable state, where he had to push the car on hills and to fill the fuel tank itself. Still managed to finish the tour on the evening of that day, and marked in history as the first long trip by car from that record.

    This expedition served to give confidence and credibility to the vehicle and to encourage users to purchase cars, orders were swift and 5 years later, they released a new 4-wheeled model called Viktoria, then an improved version, "Veil", the first car produced in series. Years later, after so much glory, Benz was forced to part company with 2 of their children.

    The Benz merged with Daimler then, passing called Daimler & Benz in 1926 and later became the Mercedes & Benz. This name is given by the whim of an Austrian Consul, who directed the development of 36 Daimler vehicles with 2 conditions: first that had the exclusive license for marketing in France and the United States, and second that this model had was to make and use the name of his daughter, Mercedes, model participated in a competition. The car won successive races, and had painted on the hood, the name of his daughter.

    Karl Benz died on 4 April 1929 in Ladenburg, Germany, leaving a legacy of incalculable historical value cultural and economic, as today Mercedes Benz cars are one of the best on the market, expensive and even exclusive.
