Do you know which place can be called motherland of whirlpool aero car? It’s Spain. History starts its root in 1913, when a few Spanish businessmen decided to build a car for easy transportation of people across the terminuses. They had got an agreement from Niagara Parks Commission to start this construction. Besides, they needed an acceptance to begin this operation from the State of New York and US Government, which wasn’t so easy. But finally they’d got it. They’d started the new promising project.
The target of all this was to build a convenient car to transport passengers from one terminus to another. The inventor of this comfortable vehicle was Spanish engineer Leonardo Torrequevedo (1852-1939). He was working in a small town Bilbao; he owned a design from a similar cable car at Mount Ulia, the same Spanish auto for 14 people with a difference that the new one was cheaper to use and more comfortable.
The target to build this new kind of transport was to carry 40 people from one terminal at Colt’s Point to another to Thompson’s on the 76meter’ height. It was better than all previous cars, because being at a height of 250 feet passengers could enjoy the beauty of surroundings for a journey lasting 539meters.
The engine of this clever cable car has 60 horse powers and can take the weight of 60 tones of people through 6 cables attached.
There is no doubt, that this car can be called the safest in the world. During many years of its use there were no accidents and no injuries at all. But I can’t say it was popular from the beginning of its use. The most successful moment was in 1916, when the initial price of this machine was $120,000.
In 1961 the owner changed, the new one, A. Blake Robertson, installed electromagnetic system, which was more functional and after only 45years of use changed the cables.
Now this car belongs to the Niagara Parks Commission. It’s still working, but for sightseeing. It’s a visiting card of Spain, which people are proud of.
Of course, if you are looking more for speed without limits, you can rent a car, but don’t waste an opportunity to see the Whirlpool Aero Car.
