TEAR DROP shaped GALILEO THERMOMETER with five floating globes | measures temperatures from 18 degrees Centigrade to 24 degrees | also in Fahrenheit | Weather station | indoor room thermometer

• This TEAR DROP shaped GALILEO THERMOMETER will look great in any position indoors and shows the current temperature.
• Utilising the 17th century astronomer Galileo Galilei's discovery that the density of liquids varies with temperature, carefully weighted glass globes are suspended in a liquid-filled tube, where they sedately sink or float as the surrounding air gets hotter or colder.
• Temperature is indicated by the engraved brass tag on the lowest floating baubles, each BAUBLE is FILLED with a MULTI COLOURED liquid
• Measures 11cm (H) x 8cm (W) | 4.25 Inches (H) x 3 inches (W) with 5 baubles ranging from 18 to 24 degrees, this fun weather station is a fun way of taking an accurate temperature reading in your home
• As the temperature changes, the multi coloured floating globes RISE and FALL within the liquid filled thermostatic tube. The lowest sphere in the top group within the INDOOR THERMOMETER indicates AMBIENT TEMPERATURE.

Fantastically stylish and cool to observe, this interesting water thermometer is sure to be a hit with those mad about science, it really is simply fascinating, the tags on the baubles are marked in both CENTIGRADE and FARENHEIT measurements This temperature thermometer will make a fantastic novelty gift for a loved one or the most perfect housewarming gift and will also look great as a desk gadget The instrument now known as a Galileo thermometer was in fact invented by a group of academics and technicians based in Florence, they included two of Galileo’s students Evangelista Torricelli and Vincenzo Viviani In 1684 details of the thermometer were published in leading scientific journals of the day. The English translation of this work described the device as the fifth thermometer as slow and lazy, this is reflected in the Italian name for the thermometer Termometro Lento ( slow thermometer
