Automatic Transmissions

HISTORY At the dawn of the automobile automatic transmission gear era was quite tricky, that's why many drivers, and obsessed with the idea of the inventors had the gearbox, which is diverted to the transfer itself (automatic transmission). Today, manual gear change was easy, but the traffic flows in many places so crowded that many drivers prefer automatic transmission (automatic transmission) to get rid of the drudgery of squeezing clutch and gear changing hundreds of times while driving through the center of the city. The process of creating a truly automatic transmission (automatic transmission) can be divided into two parts. First, we need a gearbox, which automatically at a certain time, shifts gears up and down. Second, require some form of auto-clutch design, which will allow the car to stop and start, but so that the driver does not must be managed or what, but two pedals - brake and accelerator. In the early inventors thought were aimed at creating ingenious mechanism, which would duplicate the actions of an experienced driver switching transmission. They did not work mainly due to the fact that in 30 years simply did not exist the appropriate technology for detection and measurement of various factors that are involved in this process - the engine speed and load, as well as of the accelerator. In the 21st century, thanks to electronics, such funds are there, why has revived interest in "automatic manual transmissions." Meanwhile, during which time there were other kinds of automatic transmission (automatic transmission), which have become widespread.
