The first working steampowered
vehicle was designed and most likely built by Ferdinand Verbies, a Flemish member of a Jesuit mission in China around 1672. It was
a 65 cm long scalemodel
toy for the Chinese Emperor, that was unable to carry a driver or a passenger. It is not known if Verbiest's model was ever built. NicolasJoseph
Cugnot is widely credited with building the first fullscale,
selfpropelled
mechanical vehicle or automobile in about 1769; he also created a steampowered
tricycle. He constructed two steam tractors for the French Army, one of which is preserved in the French National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts. His inventions
were however handicapped by problems of water supply and maintaining steam pressure. In 1801, Richard Trevithick built and demonstrated his Puffing Devil road
locomotive, believed by many to be the first demonstration of a steampowered
road vehicle. It was unable to maintain sufficient steam pressure for long periods.
Sentiment against steampowered
road vehicles led to the Locomotive Acts of 1865. In 1807 Nicephore Niepce and his brother Claude probably created the world's
first internal combustion engine which they called Pyreolophore.
