In some cases, there will be 2 groups of spheres hanging out, 1 in the top of the tube and 1 in the bottom. The basic idea is that as the temperature of the air outside the thermometer changes, so does the temperature of the water surrounding the bubbles. Appreciated for its robustness, Fortin's barometer was used, together with the thermometer, in late eighteenth-century laboratories for accurately measuring the "atmospheric" conditions of experimental processes.
The carefully weighted glass globes in this Galileo barometer are suspended in a liquid-filled tube, where they sedately sink or float as the surrounding air gets cooler or warmer.As the temperature of the water changes, it either expands or contracts, thereby changing its density.

In the thermometer, the brightly colored internal spheres rise and lower with fluctuations in temperature and corresponding density. Although Johan Wolfgang von Goethe is sometimes credited with its invention, one was found in his bedroom after his death, there is evidence that the Moors used similar instruments during the 8th century. I didn’t pay much attention to the dimensions, just imagining it would be the same size as other thermometers I’ve seen before.
The thermometer consists of a glass tube filled with a clear liquid, in which colored glass spheres float. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . This is just what I was looking for in my barn apartment in the woods :) Just wish the thermometer, barometer and hygrometer could measure outdoors rather than indoors. Temperature changes affect the density of the outer clear liquid and this causes the bulbs to rise or sink accordingly.

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Apart from thermometers for health conditions, we also offer wholesale indoor and outdoor household thermometers for other functions. The spheres sink in high temperatures because as the liquid in the tube heats up, it becomes less dense than the spheres.
The thermometer measures every 4º degrees from 64º F to 80º F and is accurate to within 2º degrees with five floats. Based on a thermoscope created by Galileo Galilei in very early 1600s, the Galileo thermometer was not invented by him, but rather named after him by the group of academics that invented it.
