Car (Giorgi Afxazava)

    With the development of science and technology, the cars have already become the important component in our daily life gradually. Cars make our life convenient and swift.
     A small carriage propelled by a steam turbine powered engine was apparently invented by Ferdinand, a Belgian, in 1672 while in China. It is argued that this 


constitutes the first 'car' ever invented, but the design was only 65cm long, had 


no seats or pilot controls, and was intended as little more than a toy. Further, 


there is little evidence that the invention was ever actually built. 

Nicholas Cugnot, a French inventor who had dabbled with the concept of steam-

propelled vehicles for the French Army since 1765, built a self-propelled, three-

wheeled carriage powered by a reciprocating steam engine. A small version of 

this was working in 1769, and the first full-size version was built a year later. It 

possessed many of the characteristics that define a car as we know it today, 

being self-propelled, pilot-able, and designed for the carriage of persons. 
                         This is the car which  invented Nicholas Cugnot
