Topic: Nicolas Joseph Cugnot


  
  Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot (25 September 1725 - 2 October 1804) was a French inventor who built what may have been the world's first self-propelled mechanical vehicle or automobile.
Cugnot seems to have been the first to convert the back-and-forth motion of a steam piston into rotary motion.
With the French Revolution Cugnot's pension was withdrawn in 1789, and the inventor went into exile in Brussels, where he lived in poverty.
