So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Origins of Contemporary Automobile

By Mick Car


Economical steam engines were developed in the late 1600's, then after a century, the very first steam powered vehicles were developed. Among the ancient automobiles was designed by Joseph Cugnot and built by M. Berzin in 1769. This was the earliest automobile recorded in history however it wasn't as extravagant and desirable as the modern day cars we see and ride on at this moment. It was driven by a steam engine that made it enormous, bulky and heavy as 3 tons. This particular automobile runs a minimal speed of 3 km per hour. The cars in the past were not even suited to be called "cars" back then considering they were not merely intended for transporting passengers from road to road. They were made to pull number of vehicles filled with heavy baggage along with passengers.

The automotive market went through several developments ever since the very first steam powered vehicles had been built. One more major part in the development of cars has been the advent of the gas-driven internal combustion engine in 1876 by Nicolas August Otto. The engine used the "Otto cycle" and processes of compression, combustion as well as exhaustion of gas. Though the arrival of gas motor engine had been a significant part in the development of automobiles, it had just one huge shortcoming. The engine needs to be installed to a a gas supply for refueling. Because of this, the petrol engine was invented by Gottlieb Daimler in 1885, so, the first contemporary car came to be. The engine work on liquid fuels that have been conveniently available and transportable. This became the changing point in the beginnings and evolution of cars which showed the way to a completely brand new era, the Contemporary Car Period.

Subsequently, cars evolved into a better and even more convenient means of transport. The cars born in this era were very likely the modern cars we have seen today on the streets.

The Modern Car Period

The Modern car era is the 25-year time period before the current year. The automobiles made throughout this period have been the result of numerous trial and error strategies. There had been lots of improvements in the automobile's motor and the layout due to society's soaring expectations and platform sharing. An extra predominant feature of today's automotive market was the development of fuel-efficient vehicles. The existence of modern day cars had been a product of different innovative minds of multiple inventors.
