Home > Home & Garden > Galileo Thermometer Large 17"Galileo Thermometer Large 17"
This thermometer is based on a scientific principal discovered by Galileo. As the liquids in the cylinder contract at higher temperatures, the spheres of slightly different weights rise; as the liquids cool, the spheres drop. The lowest floating sphere in the upper part of the cylinder tells the correct temperature. Fahrenheit on one side of the hanging plaques, centigrade on the reverse. Made of glass, it's an attractive and fascinating way to measure the temperature of your home. Measures 43cm tall x 8cm in diameter.More In This Series...
Galileo Thermometer 9"
Our colourful glass thermometer is based on Galileo's theory: in liquid, a body of fixed mass becomes less buoyant as the liquid temperature rises, and more buoyant as the temperature decreases—due to changes in liquid density. As the temperature changes, the multicoloured balls rise and fall within the liquid-filled thermostatic tube. The lowest sphere in the top group within the instrument indicates ambient temperature. Made of glass, measures 23cm tall with five temperature indicators.Item No. 41442
