'Here to There: An Animated History of Transportation', an animation that looks back on the history of 'vehicles' that have developed humanity in about two and a half minutes

Human beings have developed 'vehicles' such as trains and cars, saying, 'Everywhere is fast, far away, the cost is as low as possible.' In modern times, vehicles such as cars, railways, airplanes and ships are indispensable for the movement of people and goods. The animation ' Here to There: An Animated History of Transportation ' that looks back on the history of such transportation and vehicles in about two and a half minutes is a documentary, interview, and commentary movie. It is available on the YouTube channel

The Atlantic .

The animation begins with the canoeing of BC 8000 BC.

In 6000 BC,

skis that do not use human power for power appeared.

In 3500 BC, we move to a '

wheeled wagon ' that uses a new powered 'animal'.

Although it is the same manpower as a canoe in 1500 BC, the '

galley ship ' is a warship that has also been used for war, with a large size and an increased number of people, not to mention.

East Asian vehicles appeared in 200 AD. ' JUNK ' is an ancient Chinese wooden sailing ship.

In the next 230 AD, East Asia's vehicles will also feature a handy way of traveling on land, the '

wheelbarrow .'

In the 15th century, the large-sized sailing ship '

Carrack Ship ', representing the age of the voyages, brought dramatic progress in maritime logistics in the Mediterranean.

In the 16th century, railroads had not been invented yet, and '

station wagons ' connecting stations in various places operated regularly.

The '

hot air balloon ' was born in 1783.

Later, the 'steam engine,' which uses the power of steam, was invented. In 1863, the world's first

subway line, the Metropolitan Line , began operation.

In the town of 1870, '

Penny-farthing type rotation ', whose front wheels have become larger in pursuit of speed, will be a hit.

With the birth of gasoline engines, motorcycles mounted on

motorcycles will appear.

Next, a '

gasoline-powered car ' equipped with a 1886 gasoline engine appears. Since the late 19th century when the subway appeared, there have been more motorized vehicles seen today.

On December 17, 1903, the

Wright brothers flew the world's first ' airplane ', the Wright Flyer , and humanity entered the sky in earnest.

In 1938, many people think of it as a '

helicopter ' and come up with a small propeller at the rear, an anti-torque tail rotor type.

In 1952, the world's first '

jetliner ' comet flies. The cruising speed was 725km / h, which made it possible to fly more than 200km / h faster than a propeller aircraft that was common at the time.

In 1960, a deep-sea exploration boat '

Basca Chief ' that can freely move around the deep sea arrives at 10,916 meters deep in the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. This depth is the depth that the top does not protrude to the sea surface even if the world's highest mountain, Everest , is submerged in the sea.
