Burton in 1912. The detailed technical drawing showcases the early machinery that quite literally fueled the modern world. It’s the perfect conversation piece for car enthusiasts, history buffs, engineers, and anyone who appreciates vintage industrial aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the 20th century, gasoline was actually treated as a useless, highly flammable byproduct of oil refining—often dumped into rivers because everyone was only interested in kerosene for lamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, as the automobile industry exploded in the early 1900s, oil companies faced a massive crisis: traditional distillation could only extract a meager 20% to 25% of gasoline from a barrel of crude oil, creating a massive fuel shortage threat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis invention developed a revolutionary \"thermal cracking\" process. By applying intense heat (up to 400 degrees C) and moderate pressure to the heavy, leftover residue of crude oil, they successfully broke down complex molecules into lighter gasoline. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGranted as U.S. Patent No. 1,049,667 on January 7, 1913, this exact invention:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoubled the gasoline yield per barrel of crude oil overnight (from ~20% to over 45%).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAverted a massive global gasoline shortage just in time for World War I.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaved over one billion barrels of crude oil in its first 15 years of use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote that the patent uses the original name for gasoline which was \"gasolene\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe image is printed on professional, acid free, archival matte fine art paper giving the image rich and vibrant colors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCanvas prints are printed with UV-protected inks on museum-grade archival canvas (390 grams\/square meter). They are mounted on a .75 inch wooden stretcher frame with pre-installed metal hooks. Canvas prints come ready to hang so there is no need to purchase a frame. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrints are packaged in acid-free, moisture resistant sleeves, and shipped in rigid cardboard mailers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrames are for display purposes only and are not included. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Print A Patent","offers":[{"title":"Art Print 5x7 \/ Chalkboard","offer_id":52572714664212,"sku":null,"price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Art Print 5x7 \/ Vintage","offer_id":52572714696980,"sku":null,"price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Art Print 5x7 \/ Blueprint","offer_id":52572714729748,"sku":null,"price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Art Print 8x10 \/ Chalkboard","offer_id":52572714762516,"sku":null,"price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Art Print 8x10 \/ Vintage","offer_id":52572714795284,"sku":null,"price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Art Print 8x10 \/ Blueprint","offer_id":52572714828052,"sku":null,"price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Art Print 11x14 \/ Chalkboard","offer_id":52572714860820,"sku":null,"price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Art Print 11x14 \/ Vintage","offer_id":52572714893588,"sku":null,"price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Art Print 11x14 \/ Blueprint","offer_id":52572714926356,"sku":null,"price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Art Print 16x20 \/ Chalkboard","offer_id":52572714959124,"sku":null,"price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Art Print 16x20 \/ Vintage","offer_id":52572714991892,"sku":null,"price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Art Print 16x20 \/ Blueprint","offer_id":52572715024660,"sku":null,"price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mounted Canvas 8x10 \/ Chalkboard","offer_id":52572715057428,"sku":null,"price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mounted Canvas 8x10 \/ Vintage","offer_id":52572715090196,"sku":null,"price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mounted Canvas 8x10 \/ Blueprint","offer_id":52572715122964,"sku":null,"price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mounted Canvas 11x14 \/ Chalkboard","offer_id":52572715155732,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mounted Canvas 11x14 \/ Vintage","offer_id":52572715188500,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mounted Canvas 11x14 \/ Blueprint","offer_id":52572715221268,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mounted Canvas 16x20 \/ Chalkboard","offer_id":52572715254036,"sku":null,"price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mounted Canvas 16x20 \/ Vintage","offer_id":52572715286804,"sku":null,"price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mounted Canvas 16x20 \/ Blueprint","offer_id":52572715319572,"sku":null,"price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mounted Canvas 20x24 \/ Chalkboard","offer_id":52572715352340,"sku":null,"price":165.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mounted Canvas 20x24 \/ Vintage","offer_id":52572715385108,"sku":null,"price":165.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mounted Canvas 20x24 \/ Blueprint","offer_id":52572715417876,"sku":null,"price":165.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mounted Canvas 24x30 \/ Chalkboard","offer_id":52572715450644,"sku":null,"price":195.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mounted Canvas 24x30 \/ Vintage","offer_id":52572715483412,"sku":null,"price":195.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mounted Canvas 24x30 \/ Blueprint","offer_id":52572715516180,"sku":null,"price":195.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/9435\/7607\/files\/Gasoline-Chalkboard.jpg?v=1780522476","url":"https:\/\/printapatent.com\/products\/gasoline-patent-print","provider":"Print A Patent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
