RightAright 5 days writing challenge: The Invention of Gas cylinder and How it has changed our lives today.

_{Cooking with my cylinder}

Before gas cylinder comes to existence, liquid petroleum where discovered by Dr. Walter Snelling in the year 1912. This American Scientist come to realize that is possible to change these gases into liquid and store them under moderate temperature. So, between the year 1912 to 1920, Lp-gas uses where developed. Because of this, we can define gas cylinder as pressure vessel used for storage and containment of gases above atmospheric pressure.

Before gas cylinder was invented, poeple where using firewood and coal fire stoves. Firewood simply means dried woods. Then, coal fire stoves are constructed with mixed iron's and carbon. The reason is for the stove to be strong in other to carry pot while cooking when strong firewood or solid black coal. This black coal on its own is a carbon-rich mineral found underground. You can use it along with charcoal. Even today, many people in the rural areas are still making use of firewood or charcoal por. But majority of people in the world today makes use of gas cylinder or gas cooker.

It is very fast in cooking. It saves your time and energy. With gas cylinder, the stress of fetching firewood is over. Apart from that, before the firewood and coal fire stoves will heat, your food is already done. That is to say, gas cylinder is more economical. You can believe with me that cooking with firewood is not easy. One, you will smell smoke, sometimes the smoke might even enter your eyes which used to be very painful. But gas cylinder has eliminated those things. It is also easy to maintain. Once you handle it with care, it doesn't cost you anything for maintenance. Unless the burner get spoiled, it can only happened when you allow water to touch the surface. Then you can change it.

The side effects of gas cylinder is very dangerous. Please take note of these things so that you will know how to handle your cylinder. Please make sure your cylinder valve is very tight and intact because, if it broke off, the cylinder itself becomes a missiles. Compressed gasses can cause fire explosion. It can also contaminate the oxygen making the air we breath in to be toxic.

Note: Taking our mobile phone close to gas cylinder might cost our life's. How? Our phones contains invisible electromagnetic radiation. This radiations can Sparks near fuel vapor or metal items. Please, don't use your phone while cooking with cylinder.

With my explanations, you have seen that gas cylinder has advantage and disadvantages. It's now depends on us to handle it with care for our own life. Thanks for the inventor for making cooking easy for us.
