Invention of first Gas Engine; the first revolution thought by German Engineer

An engine is a machine designed to convert chemical energy into useful mechanical motion

Karl Benz Invented the First Successful Engine in Late 1800s.

Engine Power Shifting towards Roadthanks to John B. Dunlop

ORIENTATION OF CYLINDER FOR THE POWER THIRST

Super Chargers

Basically Developed

for Aircrafts

TURBOCHARGERS

Chargers

• Turbochargers are used in C.I. Engines• Superchargers are used in S.I. EnginesMostly Used For RACING CARS & SUVS

Another InnovationMercedes-Benz Being Pioneer to Use Turbo in

S.I. Engines & Super in C.I. Engines

Innovating Torque

• Manual Transmission• Automatic Transmission• Constant Variable Transmission

Why only two wheels, i need four wheels to rotate

Hybrid Technology Innovating the Energy Demands

• The automobile today is in a transitional stage moving from fossil fuel to alternative fuel.

• Some (hybrids) even use a dual-fuel engine, which is the greatest achievement in automotive research thus far.
