The evolution of automotive technology

The evolution of automotive technology

The idea of "understanding the present through its history" is based on two insights. First, it helps to know where a technology comes from: what were its predecessors, how did they evolve as a result of the continuous efforts to solve theoretical and practical problems, who were crucial in their emergence, and which cultural differences made them develop into divergent families of artifacts? Second, and closely related to the first insight, how does a certain technology or system fit into its societal context, its culture of mobility, its engineering culture, its culture of car driving, its alternatives, its opponents? Only thus, by studying its prehistory and its socio-cultural context, can we acquire a true 'grasp' of a technology. The Evolution of Automotive Technology: A Handbook, Second Edition covers one and a quarter century of the automobile, conceived as a cultural history of its technology, aimed at engineering students and all those who wish to have a concise introduction into the basics of automotive technology and its long-term development.

Jet Web

The present book describes the development history of turbojet engines, mainly in the web-type triangle Great Britain (USA) - Germany - Switzerland from early beginnings in the 1920s up to the first practical usage in the 1950s, before the still unbroken, grand impact of aero propulsion technology on global air traffic started. interconnections are highlighted, including the considerable impact of axial-flow compressor design know-how of the Swiss/German company BBC Brown Boveri & Cie. on both sides. The author reveals significant undercurrents which led to a considerable exchange, and thus change in understanding of the technical-historical perspective, especially in the decisive years before WWII, and thus closes gaps in the unilateral views of this ground-breaking technical advancement. The old ‘Whittle vs. von Ohain Saga’ is not repeated in full, but addressed in sufficient detail to understand the considerably enlarged narrative scope.

Wunibald I. E. Kamm - Wegbereiter der modernen Kraftfahrtechnik

Die Monographie analysiert Leben und Wirken eines erfolgreichen Wissenschaftlers im Zeitgeschehen des 20.Jhs. Professor Kamm (1893-1966) kam 1930 auf den Lehrstuhl für Kraftfahrwesen und Fahrzeugmotoren der TH Stuttgart und übernahm die Leitung des neu gegründeten Forschungsinstituts gleichen Namens FKFS, das innerhalb von 10 Jahren zu einem Institut von Weltgeltung mit 400 Mitarbeitern aufstieg. Mit seinen Mitarbeitern hat er als einer der Ersten durch Anwendung von Methoden der Mechanik, Aerodynamik, Thermodynamik und des Leichtbaus Grundlagen für eine wissenschaftliche Durchdringung des Kraftfahrzeuges gelegt sowie Wesentliches zur Erhöhung von Wirtschaftlichkeit, Fahrsicherheit, Fah...

»Alle Guten gehören zu uns!«

Gestern noch fast beerdigt, aber heute wieder hochaktuell: die transatlantische Partnerschaft. Kaum einer hat dafür so viel geleistet wie Eric Warburg: Spross der berühmten Banker-Dynastie, Neffe von Aby Warburg, dessen weltberühmte Bibliothek er vor den Nazis rettete – sowie zahllose seiner jüdischen Landsleute. Er war Bankier, Waffenlieferant, Verhöroffizier in der siegreichen U. S. Army und Kalter Krieger. Und er sorgte dafür, dass nach 1950 ein Teil des besiegten Deutschland auf den Westen eingeschworen wurde. Im Leben dieses weltläufigen Brückenbauers findet mühelos das politische 20. Jahrhundert Platz, das immer noch nicht zu Ende ist.
