He invented the modern concept of the car, except for the engine. His design, which he made for fun when he was about 13, had a wood chassis, four wood wheels on two axles, all connected to the steering shaft. The steering wheel was a solid wood disk that turned all four wheels, enabling the car to travel sideways as well as forward and backward. The car was powered by a very strong spring that unwound over the course of an hour, enabling him to drive from his mother's country home into nearby Woolsthorpe and Colsterworth, two small villages. It traveled about 10 mph.
