    Nothing's new under the sun. This amazing machine was just 120 years before it's time.

    The late 19th century and early 20th century must've been so exciting. Cars, aviation, phones. Tons more I'm sure. They really weren't afraid to try new things out! 🙂💙

      Back then, they really wanted to innovate. no matter what.
      nowadays, its all about money, and if its not going to bring money instantly, the innovation is sadly abandoned....

    A very sophisticated design for 1896 by the looks of it. Does it have a differential or did they just drive one of the rear wheels ? Apparently the fully restored car seen here went for $483,400 at auction.

    What's that top-hat thing on the cylinder? Inlet valve? If I was going to take that out on the road there'd be an undertray fitted to protect the mechanicals. Really impressive and that engine is perfectly tuned to start that quickly - they usually take some fighting.

      When u let off the throttle and the drag of turning the electric generator/ motor slows you down and recharges your batteries at the same time..it's regenerative braking.

      Folks don’t realize that gasoline powered cars were considered to be impractical even to the point of thinking that their only possible role might be a niche market in remote, rural areas. It was the vast reduction in cost over battery vehicles and vast extra power and speed that caused gasoline to win out -- not any conspiracy theory.

    There were also various electric car at the time too, but they could produce gas cars at a faster pace and cheaper. Also at the time there was still a lot of people/places that still didn't have electricity yet. So the gas car won until the technology and infrastructure caught up

    If Henry Ford used an electric motor for the transmission in his model T we would so far long in Hybrid technology.
    The customer who bought this vehicle didn't have to bother with the chaos called a transmission because the planetary transmission where the gears stay meshed being engaged by pressing a band around it until at the earliest 1903 and the Synchromesh transmission where a steel more or less plug, around the the shaft going to the back wheels and brings what ever gear needing to be engaged to the speed of the shaft going to the back wheels until 1929.

      He was elected in the early 1970s? That's when the first gas price crisis occurred, when the oil exporting companies (OPEC) realized they controlled the market. The price increase was far, far larger, proportionately than the recent rise. I can understand not liking that he's in the White House, but it does no good to blame him for anything that comes along.
