I remember 10 years ago I thought that by now we would have flying cars. But after watching this video I realized we haven't gone too far since the first car.
as others have mentioned we have already achieved flying cars it's not laws it's not safety it's efficiency or value that is the problem, flying drones that can carry humans with plenty of safety redundancy exist but they are not worth to buy so no one is making them
flying a drone with some collision detection (like many automated drones have) will be far easier at first since you wont have that much traffic to deal with or narrow roads, it will get fully automated by the time any significant air traffic appears. this is based on the fact that collision detection and autonomous driving for cars isn't that far different for flying vehicles.
Paul Boakes insurance since the project failed ? Yes there was insurance back then (but paid a small amount ) and burning the whole company down makes it easy to declare a cheaper version of bank croupy ( assets = debt or close sell assets ) And if you are going to say oil companies guess again since they were as nothing till 1947 Caz it was in 1947 that dollar became oil based instead of gold

Eric Allen - Way too inefficient and horrible in production. Will go down as one of the niche prototypes. There are only very few occasions where such an energy supply may be useful. There is no logical reason to lower the energy coefficient through several extra conversions. The industry knows that - those prototypes where just a filler to discredit electric efforts and sell fossils a bit longer.
Eric Allen Hydrogen fuel cells are far more inefficient than batteries, and are more expensive since the hydrogen has to be refined into liquid. Electric power will be dirt cheap and very clean when we move to alternative energies. It makes more sense to draw power from the sun which is infinite and use that energy to power our cars.
This is a historic video Dagogo! To think we started off automobiles in the electric route only to let the Oil companies kill that initiative and billions were instead invested into developing and refining the internal combustion engine over the next 150yrs... almost destroying the planet along the way!! If the same amount of money were instead spent on developing battery technology (which is still primitive to this day), the world would've been a far safer, greener and cleaner place! Wow! How long it took for humans to realize the folly of our ways. Tsk tsk.
Then we would be talking about how bad power plants and battery s are for the environment. the best thing for the environment would be to live like native Americans. the only true way to save our planet. we should all go back to living off the land. having respect for the environment.
"Back to the Past".. I never thought i would use this phrase. Welcome back @ColdFusion, missed your videos for a while. Hope you built your home. And, thanks for all the efforts in the video making.
I've discovered your channel roughly from a month and I've already watched pretty much all of your videos, I'm loving them so much, keep up the good work!
I get a kick out of people putting down the electric car. The internal combustion engine has been obsolete for well over 30 years. As an example of of internal combustion efficency progression, a 1997 Camry V6A got 19 mpg US, a 2017 camry gets 24 mpg us. Look at what Tesla as done in 8 years
Looks like we got another gas lover living in the past. Same type of attitude that lots of people in the 90's had when someone suggested that in 10 or 15 years you could video chat, watch movies, GPS navigation and access more information than any library could hold on your cell phone. People said this is real life not startrek.
Yea, thats what they keep saying about all technologies. Dry cells, lead acid, alkaline, nicad, nimh, li-on, now supercapacitors are comin around. They say solar panel are a dead end technology but full spectrum panel, are now being developed, (producing usable energy at night, hehehe, even the sci-fi writers didn't think of that one. You say understand the, hehehe, insurmountable Specific Energy limitations that will forever plague rechargeable battery technology. you probably fell for the 2006 white paper that was written by a lawyer, hired by three oil companie to debunk ethanol.

One thing you didn't mention was the failed but fascinating attempt at flywheel-powered vehicles. edit: Is there even any point in leaving a comment in a channel with this many users? I doubt anyone will even read this.
London transport experimented with spinning up flywheels in a vacuum with a motor generator back in the sixties. It was deemed unsafe due to the extreemly high rpm involved. Busses would extend a pole at certain stops and electricity spin up the flywheel with a motor generator. The motor generator would power the bus motor for several miles. When it slowed down the bus would spend a little extra time at a special stop and spin the flywheel back up again. After a trial period they dropped the program.
4:30 Not so, probably the earliest industrial example of a linear and continuous assembly process is the Portsmouth Block Mills, built between 1801 and 1803. Marc Isambard Brunel (father of Isambard Kingdom Brunel), with the help of Henry Maudslay and others, designed 22 types of machine tools to make the parts for the rigging blocks used by the Royal Navy. This factory was so successful that it remained in use until the 1960s, with the workshop still visible at HM Dockyard in Portsmouth, and still containing some of the original machinery. One of the earliest examples of an almost modern factory layout, designed for easy material handling, was the Bridgewater Foundry. The factory grounds were bordered by the Bridgewater Canal and the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. The buildings were arranged in a line with a railway for carrying the work going through the buildings. Cranes were used for lifting the heavy work, which sometimes weighed in the tens of tons. The work passed sequentially through to erection of framework and final assembly. The first flow assembly line was initiated at the factory of Richard Garrett & Sons, Leiston Works in Leiston in the English county of Suffolk for the manufacture of portable steam engines. The assembly line area was called 'The Long Shop' on account of its length and was fully operational by early 1853. The boiler was brought up from the foundry and put at the start of the line, and as it progressed through the building it would stop at various stages where new parts would be added. From the upper level, where other parts were made, the lighter parts would be lowered over a balcony and then fixed onto the machine on the ground level. When the machine reached the end of the shop, it would be completed.
I saw an EV1 In the wild over 20 years ago in Southern California. It was parked at a restaurant I worked at. The boss let me take a few minutes to go check it out. Totally awesome. Very attractive
Dagogo, you are doing an awesomely great job, been your fan for about 2yrs now.. i share your videos with my frnds in Nigeria. we enjoy all your videos everyday bro. i belive this is your calling.. kip it up
Lord Lima Bean wait until there are reviews out there that support that claim. So far there is not a glimpse of proof. But yeah batteries today get very good.
Telas overheat very quickly if you actually try to use that torque. Also, due to lack of gearing, they have horrible top end power. As for range, charging time is the real issue, not range. 620 mph is sufficient for an electric car, but only sufficient. Not impressive.
Yes, but it takes a few minutes to refuel an ICE. It takes hours to charge a car under ideal conditions, and around a day in some circumstances. 620 miles is sufficient for an electric car because its enough to allow for multiday roadtrips, as long as you stop to charge at night. Multiday roadtrips are common, and the ability to go on them would be missed compared to an ICE, but multiday roadtrips without stopping is not common at all, and won't be missed by most people. 300ish miles even is sufficient for an ICE because most people will never go that far without a gas station, and you would want to take a short break anyways. It doesn't hinder the normal use of a car. A range that short in an electric car would though, because you have to wait so long to charge.
interesting no mention of Tesla until the end. I read how Nicola made a car run on electricity without batteries, but that seems fantastical though. Nice vid, cheers!
Welcome back! Excited to see your upload. Electric cars at that moment cannot develop as fast as petro cars due to the material limitation.

If you ask me, it was the higher speed of the ICE cars on the new roads, that delayed the EVs for 100 years. You could go 150 miles in an old EV with lead acid batteries, or 220 miles in one with the new Edison NiFe batteries - no problem at 20 mph. But only 25% of that range was left at 60 mph.
@@sandervanderkammen9230 yes u r right... he is the biggest con man ever..... so expensive cars... and the planet earth will be dumped with old vehicle batteries all around.

It's called the free market.....gasoline provided the muscle and cost electric could only dream about. Now electric is catching up, although quite slowly and the free market will decide the winner in the long run. Yes I know about the government rebates but those are only for a limited time when they go away the market will decide.
The market can and did push towards the wrong solutions, like in this case. It's the duty of governments to guide the market with incentives, rebates etc. toward the right solution.
Tesla could do it better than it is now. If they let him do it. But Edison and his greedy capitalist friends made sure the superior technology would not prevail.
Edison did invent (well he claimed he invented but it might have been one of his employees that he took the credit for) the NiFe cell which makes a very good, long lived and durable battery but like the lead acid battery it is very heavy, not really great for electric vehicles. Anyway EVTV has made the claim that an important cause for the abandonment of electric vehicles by the 1930's was the high cost of electricity which at the time was not competitive with the cost of gasoline per mile.
Nothing 'funny' about it, back then all batteries were *Lead Acid* .. so just imagine all that Lead in this world! Now even the Li-ion batteries are DOA with Solid-state Li-ion or Na-ion or Mg-ion battery technology.
The batteries used in the first electric cars were nickle iron batteries. The plates never wore out. The bakelite cases would only last fifty years or so before they broke down and would start to leak. To this day railroad companies still use nickle iron batteries and often just bury them near the equipment they are operating. They are extremely robust.
Not true (it takes a lot of muscle to hand crank early engines), my auto shop teacher demonstrated on a properly tuned hand crank car, took only a quarter turn to start. I call bullshit.
I think what really helped the renaissance of electric cars was when some larger companies started to build electric cars for the common man. The electric cars 30 years ago were weirdly shaped fiberglass deathtraps without any form of comfort, sometimes even without a heater. Everything screamed "this is different", yet most people don't like to pay 40k+ for a car that has the comfort, performance, and cargo capacity of a 125cc scooter and less of the range. Modern electric cars like a Nissan Leaf, Renault ZOE or a Tesla give their owners the same level of comfort and don't feel that different from petrol cars (except for some of the pleasant things like no engine noise)
@@doktorbimmer many countries have given notice that operating new fossil fuel cars will not be licensed or allowed in the near future. That leaves battery electric, hydrogen fuel cell, or hydrogen burning internal combustion engines as the only power choices available in the near future.
+John Livesey *Although several countries have made claims as such, Few if any countries have actually passed legislation... as this would simply be economic suicide.*
Gas cars have a transmission making them inferior. Needing to switch gears. Do airplanes have gears? Do ships/boats? Do trains? No. Most of them don't.
Wroom equals inefficiency, making combustion cars inferior. In the 19th century the noise was seen as something bad from everyone and so it will be in some decades.
Innovation and pushing technology are always great. Electric cars are definitely the future. I just hope that it doesn’t kill off the combustion engine all together. Yeah yeah I get they are “bad” for the planet but as someone who appreciates cars there is a character in each and every petrol car that makes it feel like you are driving something that is living than something that is computerized.
hey man have you done the videos regarding the batteries technology there are some research going on but why isn't it is implemented on consumer products

Hi greatevideo.this is of your best type of videos where you explore history. thank you. question did you gind out what was the range of the old electric car? and how long did it take to charge?
I recommend watching the documentary, "Who Killed the Electric Car". Very interesting and goes over how the EV-1 was unexplainably taken off of the market.
Joshua Larson while I think musk is absolutely amazing, there is only one Christ who is our religious savior. But I do believe Musk is here to save our infrastructure and revolutionized the way our society operates
You forgot one important thing: A bad advertising campaign. An ad man working for the company Baker Electric decided it was a good idea to market the electric car as a "lady's car" because they were so clean and quiet. Unfortunately this perception of electric cars and products for women stuck around and spread throughout the industry. And after a Wall Street panic in the early 1900's before WW1, when a lot of people lost their savings, families could not afford a second car. Only the working husband "needed" a car, and they wouldn't buy a "lady's car". Early petrol powered cars like the Model T were no more reliable and had the same range as electric cars. If Ford has applied the assembly line to making electric cars, they probably would have ended up as cheap or cheaper.
I saw an old advert for an electric automobile on ebay from the 1910s just a few days ago, and I was completely confused, I had no idea that electric cars used to be a thing. This video came just in time :p Actually, as Jay Leno once explained in one of his videos, early steam cars were arguably better than gasoline cars. They were much quieter, ran smoother and could go much faster, and if the weather and temperature were right, could go much further.
A point I forgot to mention in the video - The car pictured in the thumbnail was La Jamais Contente. All electric, and the first vehicle to go over 100 km/h (62 mph) in 1899!

Musk is nothing more than a con man
@@sandervanderkammen9230 yes u r right... he is the biggest con man ever..... so expensive cars... and the planet earth will be dumped with old vehicle batteries all around.
@@fibboobbif socialism is when electric car
No he is just a puppet. That's why no one like him appeared in 90 years.
One of the best channels on RUclips. No exaggeration.
Outtro song?
Why doesn't this channel have millions of views and subscribers? This is first class documentary making
just want to say, THANK YOU TESLA
The person or the us company?
TAKE US TO MARS, BABY!
Zignas Ihmasmas
The founder and of course ELON!!
Tesla, the scientist, is way more worthy of appreciation than the company named after him
I hate Tesla!
You are the best bruh!!!! better than MKBHD, you got your presentation on point you choose the right songs to accompanied your videos ... Much Love and never stop, i wish you 20M subscribers
Is the title wrong???
NN
I also think now that you mention it it is more like a review of the development of cars focused on electric
kevin711497 I read it and i thought the same thing, but then I read it again and realized that it was correct. That is weird.
I️ read it wrong until I️ saw this comment and read it again
Read it over like 10 times then it made sense
Only if Edison and Ford could have figured out that darn Battery , we would be in a whole different world by now.
21'st! (It's my 18th birthday today. I take it this is my present 🤣)
Bro_Flash happy birthday dude. Have a great one.
Happy Birthday man, be sure that you are special and don't forget to contribute for better world . peace
P.s English is not my native :)
0:27 that drift drives me crazy
Now I know why they say history repeats itself.
Well, according to George Orwell history doesn't repeat but rhymes.
The most educational channel hands down.
batteries are still hardly good enough...
You are talking bulshit
great video man, keep it up!
why did Elon Musk's company choose to name their company after Tesla when Edison was such a believer in an electric car.
More significant is that the VW group and Fiat motor company are going that route, they are the biggest in the game.
It's called the free market.....gasoline provided the muscle and cost electric could only dream about. Now electric is catching up, although quite slowly and the free market will decide the winner in the long run. Yes I know about the government rebates but those are only for a limited time when they go away the market will decide.
The market can and did push towards the wrong solutions, like in this case. It's the duty of governments to guide the market with incentives, rebates etc. toward the right solution.

Awesome like always coldfusion 👍👍👌
Batteries were shit and the electrical grid was in its infancy. Saved you 10 minutes
as were gasoline engines, oil refineries, and oil drilling methods.
Tesla could do it better than it is now. If they let him do it. But Edison and his greedy capitalist friends made sure the superior technology would not prevail.
Thx bae
Or maybe batteries still suck?
superior technology lol
Amazing video and quality. Love all your videos 👍
Edison did invent (well he claimed he invented but it might have been one of his employees that he took the credit for) the NiFe cell which makes a very good, long lived and durable battery but like the lead acid battery it is very heavy, not really great for electric vehicles. Anyway EVTV has made the claim that an important cause for the abandonment of electric vehicles by the 1930's was the high cost of electricity which at the time was not competitive with the cost of gasoline per mile.
Great video! Also + points for using American beauty remixed theme at 5:04 !! :) Very nostalgic.
I wish general motors would come back to India
Solomon the hardvorking slave
Do u know tht Jaguar nd Land rover are owned by the Indian company TATA
Can you afford one?
I like that hidden history you found about Thomas and ford working together
Nothing 'funny' about it, back then all batteries were *Lead Acid* .. so just imagine all that Lead in this world! Now even the Li-ion batteries are DOA with Solid-state Li-ion or Na-ion or Mg-ion battery technology.
Let's not forget people in the early 1900's used to discard their dry cell batteries in their fireplace to reduce soot buildup in their chimney
Curtis Menzies
Well you should see how much pollution is created by current Li-ion batteries.
@@DJaquithFL that red herring has been debunked time and time again. Not to forget thay are also fully recyclable for use over and over again.
The batteries used in the first electric cars were nickle iron batteries. The plates never wore out. The bakelite cases would only last fifty years or so before they broke down and would start to leak. To this day railroad companies still use nickle iron batteries and often just bury them near the equipment they are operating. They are extremely robust.
The Loehnor-porsche you pictured looked similar to the semper vivas which was a hybrid do you recall the name of the all electric version?
Not true (it takes a lot of muscle to hand crank early engines), my auto shop teacher demonstrated on a properly tuned hand crank car, took only a quarter turn to start. I call bullshit.
If the car was obliged to start on a single turn, but most of them weren't, especially not in the winter.
Yeah, after the engine is primed it fired on up to 1/2 of a turn
I think what really helped the renaissance of electric cars was when some larger companies started to build electric cars for the common man. The electric cars 30 years ago were weirdly shaped fiberglass deathtraps without any form of comfort, sometimes even without a heater. Everything screamed "this is different", yet most people don't like to pay 40k+ for a car that has the comfort, performance, and cargo capacity of a 125cc scooter and less of the range. Modern electric cars like a Nissan Leaf, Renault ZOE or a Tesla give their owners the same level of comfort and don't feel that different from petrol cars (except for some of the pleasant things like no engine noise)
Isn't it ironic that Edison worked to get electric cars mainstream, but a company named Tesla did it more effectively. Aah history!
electric cars are still not mainstream... they are still a tiny niche market
@@doktorbimmer many countries have given notice that operating new fossil fuel cars will not be licensed or allowed in the near future. That leaves battery electric, hydrogen fuel cell, or hydrogen burning internal combustion engines as the only power choices available in the near future.
+John Livesey *Although several countries have made claims as such, Few if any countries have actually passed legislation... as this would simply be economic suicide.*
It´s always nice to see videos like this.
Edison couldn't do it, so Tesla did
Dusty Sprinkles yeah tesla motors
The youtube creator of this channel is a really wise person. I can tell they know a lot about what the future has to come.
Useless envious Edison. Tesla rules forever!!!!!
Man u put so much effort and research in every video. Never subscribed a channel on youtube as fast as your.
Hey man, I was going to make a RUclips video on this much before u , but now no one cares huh...
You're still more than welcome to make the video!
Cheers! Thanks for the awesome vid
tesla
not edison
Quality content and the explanation is too good! 😎
electric cars dont go wroom. making them inferior ;)
Gas cars have a transmission making them inferior. Needing to switch gears.
Do airplanes have gears? Do ships/boats? Do trains? No. Most of them don't.
Wroom equals inefficiency, making combustion cars inferior. In the 19th century the noise was seen as something bad from everyone and so it will be in some decades.
Jay Starr they do though
Jay Starr swiching gears is fun :)
That 'wroom' is the sound of wasted energy.
Innovation and pushing technology are always great. Electric cars are definitely the future. I just hope that it doesn’t kill off the combustion engine all together. Yeah yeah I get they are “bad” for the planet but as someone who appreciates cars there is a character in each and every petrol car that makes it feel like you are driving something that is living than something that is computerized.
Superb video. Amazing research !
The best RUclipsr I’ve ever seen with good quality content.
Cheers for the very informative video mate. It was excellent. On a side note, nice song at 2.57. Just wondering were you picked it up from?
Great video !! The ending came quite surprising this time. You should have went more into detail about what could happen.
sir this is my favourite you tube channel u r the best 👌👌👌👌👌👌
Great video, very informative, and a narrator with a great clear voice. Thanks !
Keep up the good work Coldfusion
I always learn something new. The quality in your channel is amazing! Good work!
Why are you using a clip with the Tesla Semi from Fox if you could use a clip directly from Tesla?
Worth watching, thanks to cold fusion
Nice history lesson very interesting
hey man have you done the videos regarding the batteries technology there are some research going on but why isn't it is implemented on consumer products
HUGE-HUGE like. Did not know about Porsche and Ford, I guess most of them brushing this part of their past along with the influence of oil industry.
The patreon link in the description isn't right! Just wanted to let you know :)
Hey cold fusion, what program do you use to make your music? It sounds super sweet and I’ve been looking at ways to make my own music of a similar genre inexpensively.
Hi greatevideo.this is of your best type of videos where you explore history. thank you. question did you gind out what was the range of the old electric car? and how long did it take to charge?
Dagogo the great. Excellent video as usual keep them coming
I recommend watching the documentary, "Who Killed the Electric Car". Very interesting and goes over how the EV-1 was unexplainably taken off of the market.
Awesome , thank you for the suggestion!! Just what I was looking for 💪🏼!!
Love your Music Choice ♥♥♥ Deep House
I love the clips you are making. Much info, such wow!
Glad to see the videos again
this is all oil company propaganda and blasphemy. Elon Musk invented the electric car. he is the second coming of Christ !!!!!!
Joshua Larson while I think musk is absolutely amazing, there is only one Christ who is our religious savior. But I do believe Musk is here to save our infrastructure and revolutionized the way our society operates
This is so much better than Vsauce. You are definitely a unique Channel D Go GO. I love it!I wish you 10million more subs!
This video is put well together, great job!
You forgot one important thing: A bad advertising campaign. An ad man working for the company Baker Electric decided it was a good idea to market the electric car as a "lady's car" because they were so clean and quiet. Unfortunately this perception of electric cars and products for women stuck around and spread throughout the industry. And after a Wall Street panic in the early 1900's before WW1, when a lot of people lost their savings, families could not afford a second car. Only the working husband "needed" a car, and they wouldn't buy a "lady's car".
Early petrol powered cars like the Model T were no more reliable and had the same range as electric cars. If Ford has applied the assembly line to making electric cars, they probably would have ended up as cheap or cheaper.
Your video's is so well made I'm amazed every time I watch one of your video's.
Keep up the good work
I saw an old advert for an electric automobile on ebay from the 1910s just a few days ago, and I was completely confused, I had no idea that electric cars used to be a thing. This video came just in time :p
Actually, as Jay Leno once explained in one of his videos, early steam cars were arguably better than gasoline cars. They were much quieter, ran smoother and could go much faster, and if the weather and temperature were right, could go much further.
