This vehicle was called "Motorwagen" and had a small four-stroke engine, a carburetor and simple water-based cooling..
The first photographic camera was created by the Frenchman Charles Chevalier and his brother Jacques Vincent, in 1826.
This first camera was made of wood and had a very rudimentary working principle.
The invention of the first computer is attributed to Charles Babbage, Konrad Zuse, Tommy Flowers and Alan Turing, in 1940.
Without a doubt, it is one of the most important inventions of the 20th century.
Scientist and inventor Alexander Graham Bell is listed as the one who patented the invention of the telephone in late 1875.
However, the phone was created by Antonio Meucci, who cannot patent it first because he does not have the necessary money..
