Gilded Galileo Thermometer 42cm colorful 7 balls

Customer Review

The Galileo thermometers makes the physical principle advantage that the density of liquids depends on the temperature. It consists of a liquid-filled glass cylinder. In the liquid whose density changes with temperature change, swim several glass bodies with different masses and volumes. If the temperature increases, the density of the liquid and the buoyancy of the glass bodies is reduced decreases. When a temperature drop, however, the buoyancy of the vitreous increases.

There are seven vitreous in the cylinder. The measuring range is between 18 and 24 ° C. The balls share to the measuring range in intervals of 1 ° C. If there are, for example, the top three balls (24 ° C (top sphere), 23 ° C and 22 ° C (lowest ball) above, it is 22 ° C warm.

The thermometer reacts quite slow, because the temperature of the liquid slowly follows the changes in the air temperature.

It is certainly not the fastest and most precise measurement tool to fast times read the temperature but it is a piece of applied physics, which also still looks chic.
