Product details
Have you heard of the Galileo thermometer? This stylish glass cylinder is not only an extraordinary eye-catcher but also a useful temperature gauge for your home. Here’s how it works: The glass liquid thermometer contains colorful spheres that float in a transparent liquid. The famous physicist Galileo Galilei recognized as early as the late 16th century that the density of liquids changes with temperature. When heated, the liquid in the thermometer expands, and you can see the buoyant bodies sink. However, when the temperature decreases, the smaller spheres gain buoyancy and rise. Simply brilliant!
Accurate temperature measurement: Of course, just seeing the colorful spheres sink or rise is not enough to determine the temperature. That’s where the metal plates on the buoyant bodies come in. The metal plate on the lowest sphere indicates the current ambient temperature between 18 and 28 degrees Celsius.
Excellent as a gift: The standing thermometer not only delights scientists but is also an ideal gift for anyone who loves unique decor. The liquid thermometer is made of high-quality glass and becomes a focal point in the living room, bedroom, or home office.
