It shows what a True Genius Nicolas -Joseph Cugnot really was! The tragedy was thar whilst his "Fardier" was a technical Tour de Force due to the intriguing at the court of King Louis XV it became a Political Failure. Thankfully in 1799 when the Paris Arsenal was being cleaned out Lucien Bonaparte realised what the partial dismantled and derelict 'Fardier ' was in Historical terms and he ensured it's protection.

lol to all you people complaining this was revolutionary!! can you imagine what an innovating this was in 1769???? I guess not to many games and cell phone apps have rotted this worlds minds.

A masterpiece of french genius !!!

MERCI! I don't understand French but that Machine speaks a language all it's own and I understood it loud and clear.

Wow, I have seen this in school books. I always thought the boiler was a bulbous battering ram? Incredible to see it work. That up and down motion of the rods pushing the wheel gave me goose bumps and a woody.

Fascinant !.... Compliments à l'équipe pour cette belle réalisation "qui marche". J'ai aimé le fût à rocher, belle mécanique pour l'époque !... . Compliments personnels à notre ami Alain. Claudibus06

This is a copy of the orginal "first automobile." The original “fardier” is presently on display at the CNAM - Musee des Arts et Metiers in Paris. It is in fairly good condition; some parts were replaced in the 19 th century. It is a museum piece and deserves the best of care. It is impossible to run the “fardier”, even after some fine tuning, the wheels are very fragile. This one is in the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum in Florida.... It is a beautiful work built to the exact scale.

J'adore le bruit du système vapeur le bruit des partie mécanique et le bois qui craque sa lui donne un charme a cette belle machine d'époques ❤

Look up the history of this machine's inventor. Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot was the inventor of this machine. While this is a replica of what he himself built this proved his concept worked. This machine was invented just before the fall of King Louis XVI. Unfortunately this was a case of yet again a great inventor getting shafted about as hard as Tesla got it. His pension was removed from him after the french Revolution where he wound up broke and penniless and forced to live in exile in Belgium. Napoleon did acknowledge his contribution to France and welcomed him back in his last days. This actually does give France a Technical first and sadly for France is the shameful treatment of a man who gave them progress in a nation claiming to be progressive. We would not have the modern conveniences of transportation of this day from Railroad to Cars and EVEN SHIPPING AND AIRCRAFT without this proof of concept from so long ago. Damn it, France had a man almost the equal of Tesla's brilliance and look at how he went down... Let it not be said no good deed goes unpunished. We witness this every day anyways.

Imgaine riding this to school trying to park it somewhere :D

Was just standing in front of this thing the other day at the T/A Museum and its massive.

This museum is 15minutes from me & has one of the most remarkable collections of cars unobtainable even in they're native lands. Several Tatras, Voisins, Aero ect. Lovely collection, great people. Tampa Bay Auto Museum, a must.

Now I know why the people in the 18'th century have panic fear about those "devilish driving machines"... Impressive machine, perfectly rebuilt, huge respect! Interresting drive train! Does it have a reverse gear? If it has, I'd drive it backwards - it can not be slower and You can see where You're driving... ;)

Imagine you're in 1769 and see this thing puffing and hissing down the street. Would you be scared to death?

Amazing machine. Made from wood.

Weighty, slow and creepy... but without this invention wouldn't have existed later the comfortable cars of these days.

Yup, its got a Hemi

So obviously the phrase 'I am just going down the corner shop and get a packet of crisps, back in ten minutes' came much later?. :-) What a fearsome machine, in it's time it would have stopped traffic,errr,,,,, people. The sight of it today is still awesome, well done to the builders.

State of the art machine of its day !the first thing they learnt from it , don't put fire and steam boiler in front !

Es un auto hermoso, no tengo que llevarlo al autolavado ni lustrarlo con cera y me parece perfecto para salir con las chicas en los fines de semana😎

First FWD car ever...

la premiere automobile du monde(française)qui a permis de crée le train sur la méme base(guidage sur des rails)

The boilers in modern cars are no longer made of copper...that's why they perform so much better.

3:30 props to the razor kick flip attempt next to the original car! How french haha

Probably has more torque than most ricers.

They really did it, the absolute madmen

me a gustado todo sigan poniendo vídeos para informarnos capacitarnos y mejorar mas cada día

Hahaha. No. The cannon is the point of this vehicle! It is replica of cugnot's "gun carriage." It is claimed to be the first steam powered vehicle, and as usual, the new technology was for the military. You might think a horse and cart would be a more practical way of moving cannon, but horses got scared in battle and could be unpredictable.

Wow! tears came down my eyes!

De la tendresse pour ce petit bijou

Oddly enough, on its maiden voyage, the original was involved in the very first automobile accident!

10 лет назад видел эту машину в энциклопедии )

Le principe d'un véhicule automobile (donc qui peut se déplacer seul, par ses propres moyens) à vapeur avait déjà été décrit par le belge Ferdinand Verbiest en 1668. Bien entendu il s'agissait plus "d'une attraction" que d'un véhicule utile (voire utilitaire) comme l'est le Fardier.

Élue voiture de l'année 1770 ^^

Dam. It looks like a monster! Love it!

haha the smoke kills the driver

lol if I was back in 1769, and I saw that behemoth coming down the street, I'd be scared shitless!

Simplesmente fascinante. Fantástico .

I know this thing was revolutionary, but I just can't stop laughing.

and just 7 year after that car was made the U.S.A was born

2:26 absolute crazyness starts here! :O

World's first FWD vehicle...😊

Nous allons a la plage avec un Cugnot!!!

Just hope it doesn't explode. Unregulated steam boiler...scary ride.

It would help if the driver saw where he was going :D

This is amazing, but I do have one question... how did the driver see where he was going from all the steam?

formidable !

Excelente video los pioneros cn visión a inventar algo k sólo existía en el pensamiento

o vn ma co xe nay se rat nhieu nguoi thich di thu

It's a regiment flag , probably artilery (the Fardier was think as a artilery transport)

Как ни странно, но по авторской задумке он действительно должен был ехать вот так. Психология такая у людей была: 1) любая повозка должна тянуться (если не лошадью, то пусть паровой хреновиной) 2) единственный способ управлять повозкой -- это управлять источником тяги: лошадью, волом, собачей упряжкой и пр. Рулевые механизмы, передачи и даже разделение двигателя и движетеля еще только предстаяло изобрести.

We can't ask him today but ... what rode Cugnot to put the boiler in the overhang and not inside the wheelbase? Of ONE steered wheel? I wonder why that thing didn't tip over ...

Reminds me of a car I had once called the mosquito killer. :)

Back in the pre-crankshaft days...

J'ai une maquette officielle de Fardier de Cugnot. J'adore!!

Best car of 1770.

Very cool!

waouh! THE BEAST !

Wow, se ve increible.

Can I order one of these on Amazon? Just for the daily neighborhood drives to scare everybody.

Very cool , you know it has something in common with mosr autos today- front wheel drive

First powered vehicle or "Motor Car" was front wheel drive!

Fantastic video.

Imagine the old greek master engineer Heron of Alexandria had build this during the antique! Steam powered cars and ships during the antique! Very well this could have happened in an alternative time line...Modern technology today would be so much further...

Estos son los nuevos vehículos que sustituran al diésel y gasolina aquí en Madrid son los únicos que carmena dejará circular por el centro jajaja

I remembered, I read history book. It had no brake, it was accident, it crashed into wall.

this is the first car ever

IMPRECIONANTE

Maby there would be a year, when the vehicle was built and used, in the description of this clip?

Amazing! Thank for balding the machine/

Superb!!!!!!

VERY INTERESTING, I´LL LOOK FORWARD TO PAY A VISIT TO THIS WONDERFUL MUSEUM.

It is a formidable machine.

くはっ！　 まっ…… 前が見えねぇ！！！

When there's a random encounter by government sanctioned assassins in Sherwood forest...don't let your dying words be "If only I had my blackpowder cannon!" It's better to have it, and not need it, instead of need it, and not have it. To stop a bad man with a gun you need a good man with a gun.

THE "FIRST POWERED" AUTOMOBILE.........WERE CREDIT IS DUE IN HISTORY.......

What's with the cannon barell strung up under the rear end? For ballast, maybe?

Супер!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who dares to tailgate my slowmobile?

Exalant 👍👍

Automobile is not only gasoline cars. But the steam cars, and electric cars.

@MRoesterreicher1 Yes, but quite accurate to the original.

scary machine, it is sayd " it rammed into a wall with the full speed of 5 km/h . and they never used it since then. But the concept was proven: "a machine who propellid itself on it's own power". the experiment succeeded but horse and charriots prooved by far better than this.

Cool,front wheel drive.

what do you do if there is a hill on the road

Imagine if steering would have been better and the military got interested. We would have cars/trucks like 150 years earlier...

Bom dia felicidade paz Grand invent Union pacific legal pare de um robô obrigado por este vídeo legal feliz Natal a todos .

la plus bizzares de toutes les voitures qui n ait jamais existées ! en vérité c est la premiere voiture automatisée qui ait existée

how can you see where your going driving it with the huge thing in front and all the smoke..

Is the cannon just a counterweight?

The World's first "car" . Circa 1766.

yea but just think how much easier this would work for hauling things like fire wood hay and water

Is the cannon underneith for tailgators?

zero emisions 100% clean

What psi does it run on seems like 30 psi

Yes, with 2 laps at the finish.

It was originally designed to haul Cannon, hence the gun barrel underneath.

Super.super

does steam makes power ?

so the crankshaft concept came later !! I wonder if the escape mechanism can be reversed to go in reverse
