The first motor “car” was invented when? 1 Over 200 Years Ago Over 150 Years Ago 2 Over 100 Years Ago 3 The first motor “car” was invented when? 1 Over 200 Years Ago: 1807 in Paris The first motor “car” was fueled by what? ? What was the fuel used in this vehicle? The very first “car” was propelled by an Internal Combustion Engine which was fueled by ___________ (license Nr. 731, Paris 1807). The patent was issued in 1807 to a Swiss inventor, Francois Issac de Rivaz. In 1813 a prototype was built that supposedly traveled a whopping 100 meters . The first motor “car” was fueled by what? A: Hydrogen The very first “car” was propelled by an Internal Combustion Engine which was fueled by HYDROGEN (license Nr. 731, Paris 1807). The patent was issued in 1807 to a Swiss inventor, Francois Issac de Rivaz. In 1813 a prototype was built that supposedly traveled a whopping 100 meters .

The engine device was called a “Pyreolohore” which is a blend of words for “fire”, “wind” and “produce” The engine was fueled by a mixture of Lycopodium Powder (dried Lycopodium moss), finely crushed coal dust, and resin. * *Source** Encyclopedia Britannica Online As fas back as 1807, we already have internal combustion engines that were powered by Hydrogen Gas, and what we can call an early version of a bio-blend fuel which consisted of coal dust and a very early “bio-fuel” mixture of moss. Gasoline really didn't enter the picture until around 1870. Early IC Engines evolved without being restricted to fuel choices!
