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!
Man I need an sick intro like yours. Really appreciate the quality over quantity vibe on this channel, rare in this day and age on YT. Can always count on you for great vids.
This guy - Creates his own music - Creates sick animations - Finds the most interesting topics to talk about - Explains those topic in his beautiful voice Seriously you're awesome Dagogo! I don't know when or how I started watching you but I am glad I did! Keep it up!
john pardon - yeah, because the smear campaigns happening in the newspapers and online, some sponsored by the Kochs are just my imagination - www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/koch-electric-vehicles_us_56c4d63ce4b0b40245c8cbf6
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.
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!
My grandfather made sure that his family had a respect for the hand crank which had previously broken his arm. If you do it wrong, it takes you right along with it when the engine starts.
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 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. Yea, you better not blink, the world will pass you by.
*No, I just understand the Laws of Electro-Chemistry that regulate the limits of rechargeable battery performance... you might want to read a few books or work on that engineering degree before you continue to make a fool of yourself...*

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.
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!
They also had cars that ran on peanut oil and water, but most of us should know by now that those technologies would never be allowed to go mainstream because it would kill profits of oil and established automobile makers who were all in on gas powered vehicles by then...
a couple of things you missed that you shouldn't have. Steam did have faster cars (both initial setup and speed). The white took about 4-8 minutes and doble took about 2-5. The doble owned by Howard Hughes in 1935 was clocked at 135 miles per hour (that's 217 kmh). The baker electric had 15000 units in NYC, with charging stations in the early 1900's. ( ruclips.net/video/OhnjMdzGusc/видео.html). There were a lot of early cars that people don't know about that were ahead of their time. edit: spelling, and i most likely miss something as it is. :(
Some years ago we had the honour of towing something like this en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot_Type_2 the oldest car in the London to Brighton run which had stopped about 25 miles from Brighton. We had to keep the speed below 15 mph. We took him to the underground car park where they all congregate before going up to the road by the esplanade at the sea front. As we pulled in, three men looked at us askance and a bit put out that we were there, as it was reserved for vintage cars that day. As the vintage car driver pulled around behind us and they saw him two of their faces lit up and they waved as they rushed forward to great him. The third one probably didn't know him and went back to working on his engine. I think the man said it came from America and he was only driving it for the owner, but he was a regular there. Annoyingly, I can't remember the make of the car. A day I shall never forget as it was the next best thing to driving it 😊
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.
This was more in the USA than Britain, I think. I believe most cars here were combustion engines, some were steam but most here seem to have been oil/petrol/diesel.
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.
Funny to think of a time when car manufacturers were still yet to decide between gas or electric. I guess at that time there was no infrastructure for refuelling or recharging so it would have been a close contest.
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.
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.
@@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.*
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.
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 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)
I didn't think that the first electric car was produced so early on... thx 4 d info... I will tell my daughters or at least pass it on through e-mail or facebook...
rare earth minerals are a very limited resource. in a few more decades, when the costs catch up, electric cars will fall out of favor again... probably becoming cost prohibitive. they're cute toys, but it ultimately feels like many manufacturers are making the same mistake twice.
You forgot to add that many people broke their arm cranking the electric car. It cracks me up how people think electric cars or something new. Take a look at Tesla stock price, this is November 11th 2019. Look at the chart and the messages on the Yahoo message board. People think it's something new.
I hope you read this #ColdFusion #Dagogo, I'm a big fan of yours I started watching ur videos in early 2014 when u were around 300 to 400k subs. Your videos are the best and reliable videos I can count on in this era of fake and misleading videos everywhere on YT. I'm here in Australia too and really hope to meet you one day and thank you in person for giving such a genuine and pure knowledge. Thank you
His videos are done really good but they are as far from reliable and honest ... Do some reaserch and you will realise that quite a few times he sad very inaqurate informations or ommited the truth like in this video About Nikola Tesla who acctually made an electric functioning car far better than fossil fuels one ... #ColdFusion #Dagogo he is into videos for money not for the thruth ....
U r right on your point of view however if we compare his videos with others we can found his videos more genuine. Without a doubt, YTrs are doing their job to earn money anyway long story short let's let them do their job appreciate their work. Best of luck #Dagogo keep it up
Thanks for the fascinating insight into our history, and some history others try to omit. I'm not sure Ford and Edison would have found a way to make batteries any better than what we currently have back in those days. However I AM sure that Elon Musk will milk battery technology for as long as it's viable.
The Smart was supposed to be an all-electric car and that concept failed because the batteries of its day would've made it about as heavy as a truck. Battery technology has been stagnant for the last few decades and is only now starting to really develop quickly. Before lithium-ion or lithium-polymer became cheaply available, the alternative were lead-gel batteries. But they were big, heavy and suffered from severe performance in the cold. And even today the problem of far lesser energy density persists. Lithium-ion batteries have an energy density of about 0,65 MJ/kg while petrol has about 41 MJ/kg. That's 63x more! The combustion engine can afford to be less efficient when the fuel is much richer in energy. Even if an electric motor ran at 100% efficiency it still wouldn't be able to compete with a combustion engine running with something like 30% efficiency (the rest is wasted in the form of heat). Would battery technology have developed faster if we had stuck with the electric car? Who knows. Maybe… But then again technology for manufacturing lithium batteries simply wasn’t available back in the day. And it’s not like the combustion engine hasn’t developed as well. We started with a miserable 0,75 horsepower, 0,95 liter engine and now we have highly efficient 1 liter engines cranking out over 100 horsepower while only sipping fuel. And like it or not, batteries need resources too! And they have to be charged with electricity, which has to be produced. There’s simply no free lunch and electric cars are no magic pill.
Nicola Tesla kocsijáról is szólhattál volna pár szót, na meg a vezetéknélküli áramszolgáltatásáról. Ha azt anno nem vetik el, már most hol járhatnánk? Már rég lebegő autók, stb, lennének szerintem... You could have said a few words about Nicola Tesla's car and his wireless power supply. If it is not discarded anno, where can we go now? Cars have been floating for a long time, etc., I think they would be ...
Almost perfect however you need to keep digging into Rockefeller's efforts at getting Ford to use an ICE for his Model T. The geographic proximity of Rockefeller's Cleveland refineries and Ford in Detroit were critical. Also, electrics were seen as, if not dangerous, then at least feminine, thanks to typical Petro lobbying and marketing.
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!
What happened to "ColdFusion uploaded: Squarespace Integration ColdFusion" video? I got a notification for the upload but it's gone now :(
no probs.
lawrence Moses Agree with you ,Aside- Dgago -Where is the video?
For those interested: "La Jamais Contente" means "The Never Happy" (talking about the car) in French
For non French speaker, "La Jamais Contente" means "The never happy one"

Do some reaserch and you will realise that quite a few times he sad very inaqurate informations or ommited the truth like in this video About Nikola Tesla who acctually made an electric functioning car far better than fossil fuels one ... #ColdFusion #Dagogo he is into videos for money not for the thruth ....
U r right on your point of view however if we compare his videos with others we can found his videos more genuine. Without a doubt, YTrs are doing their job to earn money anyway long story short let's let them do their job appreciate their work.
Best of luck #Dagogo keep it up
Superb !!
Thanks for the fascinating insight into our history, and some history others try to omit. I'm not sure Ford and Edison would have found a way to make batteries any better than what we currently have back in those days. However I AM sure that Elon Musk will milk battery technology for as long as it's viable.
Hey cold fusion make a video on Boeing😊😊
5:50 VS Chevy ! ha.. literally now
I really had no idea that an electric car existed so long ago. And even a hydrogen one? Amazing!
Wow how interesting.
Didn't Nikola Tesla develop am electric car engine as well? Did it also use battery?
The Smart was supposed to be an all-electric car and that concept failed because the batteries of its day would've made it about as heavy as a truck. Battery technology has been stagnant for the last few decades and is only now starting to really develop quickly. Before lithium-ion or lithium-polymer became cheaply available, the alternative were lead-gel batteries. But they were big, heavy and suffered from severe performance in the cold. And even today the problem of far lesser energy density persists. Lithium-ion batteries have an energy density of about 0,65 MJ/kg while petrol has about 41 MJ/kg. That's 63x more! The combustion engine can afford to be less efficient when the fuel is much richer in energy. Even if an electric motor ran at 100% efficiency it still wouldn't be able to compete with a combustion engine running with something like 30% efficiency (the rest is wasted in the form of heat).
Would battery technology have developed faster if we had stuck with the electric car? Who knows. Maybe… But then again technology for manufacturing lithium batteries simply wasn’t available back in the day. And it’s not like the combustion engine hasn’t developed as well. We started with a miserable 0,75 horsepower, 0,95 liter engine and now we have highly efficient 1 liter engines cranking out over 100 horsepower while only sipping fuel.
And like it or not, batteries need resources too! And they have to be charged with electricity, which has to be produced. There’s simply no free lunch and electric cars are no magic pill.
May I request to see one of your videos about how big Rolls Royce is please?
Nicola Tesla kocsijáról is szólhattál volna pár szót, na meg a vezetéknélküli áramszolgáltatásáról. Ha azt anno nem vetik el, már most hol járhatnánk? Már rég lebegő autók, stb, lennének szerintem...
You could have said a few words about Nicola Tesla's car and his wireless power supply. If it is not discarded anno, where can we go now? Cars have been floating for a long time, etc., I think they would be ...
who holds back the electric car? who makes edoonberg a star? WE DOOOO we doooo
Excellent docu,. imagine if they'd stuck at it. Image how advanced we'd be today and how much cleaner the planet would have been!
We are taking the long way around but in the end what Edison said will become reality.
It was very short..)
Good Stuff
someone knows the name of the music title starting at 3.00 minute ?
Almost perfect however you need to keep digging into Rockefeller's efforts at getting Ford to use an ICE for his Model T.
The geographic proximity of Rockefeller's Cleveland refineries and Ford in Detroit were critical.
Also, electrics were seen as, if not dangerous, then at least feminine, thanks to typical Petro lobbying and marketing.
Very interesting! I wish we had gone with electric first. Thank you!

They might have, if they heard of lithium batteries. Funny how history works. Too early or too late, and it all goes to shit.
So one about how steam engines work
