Transport means along time

Introduction From the first moment of its existence, man moves, walks and moves, wants to go further and further, and to suit their purposes, undoubtedly has to invent. This is how human evolution did not settle for land transport, wanting to cross the seas, so that also invented the shipping to navigate the waters. But over time, he needed to invent a faster medium which furrowed land and water. Also since antiquity there was a desire to imitate birds in their displacement. And that did not stop his desire to explore, soon achieved ships and rockets for space travel, and travel to the satellite of the Earth and to distant planets. Humans in our quest to conquer and go far we have invented all means you can see below:

What are the means of transportation? Transport means or systems are different ways to move a specific content from one place to another. These are classified into land, air and water. They each need a different infrastructure for its operation: Railways and train stations, roads for cars, airports for aircraft, and marinas for boats.

WATER TRANSPORT The use of water transportation dates back to the early history (prehistory) by his need to focus people on the banks of rivers and coastlines. Rowing Boats: primitive boats were moved both hands and feet with flat boards as a way to paddle. Examples of rowing boats are: La Balsa: It is thought that the first man was crossing water on a floating log. The Canoe: a relatively small boat moves with human strength. Canoes are pointed at both ends and usually open at the top. Moves by the use of blades. Later, during ancient times, the Romans used the Sailing Boats. These sailing vessels were the first means of transport over long distances of water (rivers, lakes, seas). Their main source of propulsion wind. Historical examples of sailing boats: The Galley: is a boat propelled by the force of the oars and sometimes by the wind, so had one or more large candles. The rowers were slaves or prisoners. The Caravel: the picture below shows the differences with the previous. La Fragata: was a sturdy boat and with considerable offensive power but more conniving and faster than the big ships of the line. It was used during the eighteenth and still had guns. The sail boats were being progressively replaced throughout the nineteenth century steam boat. So the arrival of the steam engine (Industrial Revolution) navigation profoundly altered, allowing the man without oars and wind. Many attempts were made during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to get to invent the steam system usable for moving boats. In the late nineteenth century Modern Ships appear These boats have a motor which makes them more advanced and efficient machines as these motors allow the boat a lower fuel consumption and transport of peak load. The submarine: a special type of ship capable of sailing on the water surface as well, thanks to a variable buoyancy system. Used extensively for the first time in World War I, now part of all major navies.

GROUND TRANSPORTATION

In prehistoric Neolithic appeared especially in the wheel, one of the most wonderful inventions of history that facilitated transport of heavy materials and with it began the development of all types of land transport. In its simplest form the wheel, a solid disk was fixed to a wooden timber round shaft, then removed disc sections to reduce weight and used radios began. The wheel has undergone numerous mutations over time to perfection. The wheel allowed the development of land transport and the first man to distant places in less time. So we can distinguish the next evolution of the wheel: The car: it was the first application that gave man the wheel for their own purposes. The cart has two wheels and uses animal traction to get moving. In the Middle Ages appears full bike whose basic components are two wheels, pedals, handlebars for steering a saddle seating and a set of irons that unite all these elements. The displacement is obtained by rotating the pedals with his legs than through a chain wheels spinning. The bicycle has undergone progress and improvement over time: Evolved bicycle motorcycle which included all elements of the bicycle over a steam boiler in the rear, this has evolved to today gradually suppressing elements such as pedals, improving the engine type ... up to the bike that we know today. The Railway: birth is associated with the invention of the steam engine during the Industrial Revolusin. Your invenccin took place in the early nineteenth century by George Stephenson. This new form of transportation, besides the needed driving force of the steam engine, another element: the rails. The first set consisted of a railway wagon pulled by a locomotive using this energy. The most prominent railroad development is the high speed train (AVE) that emerged in 1992 (XX century) in Spain, whose main feature is that it can reach 300km / h. Although as early as 1769 (XVIII century) developed the first steam-powered vehicle, it was not until 1866 (nineteenth century) when Gottlieb Daimler invented the first motor vehicle. Today the cars called cars have evolved significantly

AIR TRANSPORT

The dream of every human being at any time has been to fly, with a vision envious to the flight of birds, move, see other places from the perspective of space ... Towards the V century AD designed the first flying machine: the kite. In the thirteenth century the Englishman Roger Bacon after years of study, concluded that air could hold an object in the same way that water supports a boat. The hot air balloon: the idea came when brothers Joseph and Jacques Montgolfier were sitting around a campfire, they noticed that the smoke rose and thought about the opportunity to leverage this quality. After several experiments, realized that warm air is lighter than cold, so it tends to rise. The initial flight showed that his theory was right. On June 4, 1783 held a public demonstration with a balloon of ten meters in diameter at a French market, which was built with cloth and paper. During the nineteenth century airships were the stars of the air, leaving a back seat to hot air balloons. An airship is a device capable to take off, land and surf the atmosphere from the reactions of the air by a gas-filled tanks of lower density to the atmosphere. It was invented by Henri Giffard in 1852. It was the first flying machine can be controlled on a long flight. They stopped using because their capabilities were surpassed by the aircraft. Aircraft: aerial vehicles are heavier than air used to transport people or cargo. Moves by the action of blades and maintaining the effect of air resistance to certain hard surfaces. By causing distrust hereby was not used to transport people to the decade 1920-1930. The outbreak of World War I did think also the need to apply this invention to military and government devoted considerable resources to research and development of aircraft. The air transport is the fastest modern developed. After World War II, commercial air transport increased when the planes were larger and more efficient Later, in the thirteenth century invented the rocket, an aircraft moves through space by a movement generated from a force, and is used for military or scientific purposes.

Conclusions The man is an insatiable curiosity that throughout its existence has not rested to achieve mastery of his environment. From move their feet came to ply the seas and the sky covering distances that were once unimaginable. This evolution of discoveries and inventions was actually very slow, because we must not forget that our origins (prehistory) is the longest period of our history, full of hardship and in which inventions are a very casual sudecan. But these days, especially since the Industrial Revolution our society has evolved so fast and so dramatically that today we can go where we want. Even to the moon we come! The vehicles are a key point in our history and thanks to them our comfort and our quality of life has increased infinitely.
