Well, continuing with the daily challenge of the community, I want to give special thanks to @sirknight and the community of @steemchurch for the beautiful creation of this #celestialchallenge

Today I want to talk about an invention that has evolved the life of man, since he is involved in all aspects of his modern life.

The first car to Gasoline

Created by the German Karl Benz, he created his first model and patented it between 1885 and 1886. With the name of Benz Motorwagen

Benz developed on the New Year's Eve of 1879 the first stationary gasoline engine powered by was a single two-stroke cylinder unit. Benz was so commercially successful with this invention that he was able to pursue his dream of creating a lightweight car powered by a gasoline engine, in which the chassis and engine form a single unit.

The German did not take long and assembled the first two-seater vehicle in 1885, whose main features were the four-stroke high-speed compact cylinder installed horizontally in the rear, the tubular steel structure, the differential and the three wheels with radio of wire. The power of that engine was 0.75 hp (0.55 kW).

On January 29, 1886, Benz applied for a patent for his "vehicle powered by a gas engine". The patent number 37,435 can be considered as the birth certificate of the automobile. On July 3, 1886, the newspapers reported on the first public appearance of the Benz Patent Motor Car, model no. 1 of three wheels.

The long distance trip of Bertha Benz

Using an improved version and without knowledge of her husband, Bertha Benz and her two sons Eugen (15) and Richard (14) embarked on the first long distance car ride of the story one day in August 1888. They traveled from Mannheim to Pforzheim, the birthplace of Bertha.

With this 180-kilometer route, including the return trip, Bertha Benz demonstrated the viability of the motor vehicle worldwide. Without his audacity and that of his children, and the stimulating results obtained, the subsequent growth of Benz & Cia., In Mannheim, to become the world's largest automobile factory in his day would have been impossible.

Improvements and Advances

Karl Benz developed the dual pivot steering system, patented in 1893, thus solving one of the most urgent automobile problems. The first Benz car with this handling system was the Victoria of 3 hp (2.2 kW) in 1893, of which there was a greater amount than the previous models, but of different sizes among themselves. The first assembly production car in the world with about 1200 units built, was the Benz Velo of 1894, a lightweight, durable and cheap compact car.

In 1897 the development of the "double motor" took place, that consisted of two units of a single horizontal cylinder in parallel. However, it did not have the expected results. It was immediately followed by a better design, the "counter-engine" in which the cylinders are arranged facing each other. This was the birth of the horizontally opposed piston engine. Installed in the back by Benz until the year 1900, this unit generated up to 16 hp (12 kW) in its different versions.

The Automobile is apparently the product that has had the greatest influence in the life of man, since it practically bears the reins of modern life in the world .

Thanks to the cars there are distribution networks, which are the basis of this globalized world, where any kind of product is achieved in places where the vehicles that transport them can reach.
