YouTube - Despite the new out break in recent years, automatic caractually has created more than 100 years ago. Is the Sturtevant brothers who made this project on the Horseless Carriage1904.Sturtevant building, with two-speed automatic transmission that is able to move itself. It later became the ancestors automatic car in world.way it works is simple. When engine speed increases,centri fugal force of the fly wheel will push the transmission mechanism into a higher gear. Then when the engine turns condes cending, a spring mechanism to return the teeth to the lower position. At that time, the discovery automatic transmission is very spectacular, but under appreciated.
But who would have thought, from this simple discovery automatic transmission is very rapid progress. Through a sophisticated computer,the automatic transmission is capable of beating the ability of humansin the accuracy of the gearshift. A few years later, one of Ford who developed the invention by producing the Ford Model T. The car is verypopular at that time using 2-Speed. Weaknesses automatic transmission car at that time could not stop when the teeth in a forward position. Should be neutral. At the start, the car also jumped.
New in 1930 Chrysler developed a fluid coupling system to address this problem. Fluid in the transmission system makes the car move more subtle, especially when after stopping. This technology continues to evolve. In 1940, Cadillac and Oldsmobile develop Named Hydra-Matic technology. This is the first time the automatic transmission uses a fluid-driven teeth hidroik. By carrying out the four levels of acceleration, the United States auto mobile manufacturers,GM, selling this technology to Europe, such as Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
