13 best galileo thermometer barometers

Product description

Galileo Thermometers are magnificent creations that make Galileo's 400 year old principle of relative density a functional reality. An accurate indoor thermometer encased in brilliant glass, the Galileo is the point at which art meets science. Galileos add sparkle and focus to any setting: Galileos are precisely manufactured. Each of the liquid-filled floats weighs grams more than the one above it in the cylinder to ensure a stately and orderly procession of ups and downs as the temperature changes. To accomplish this balancing, the tags on which the temperature is marked are attached by hand. The fluid in the floats and the cylinder has to be exactly the same density for the thermometer to function properly. The fluid is non-toxic and non-hazardous, an inert oil/hydrocarbon mixture like mineral oil: Galileos are carefully packaged. The cylinder walls are laboratory grade glass, so sturdiness isn't an issue. A four-color cardboard box sleeve surrounds a form-fitted foam case that virtually guarantees safe arrival: This fascinating, functional instrument is the point at which science meets art. Four hundred years ago Galileo discovered that specifically weighted floating bubbles would predictable rise or sink in a liquid as the temperature of that liquid is changed. These decorative glass reproductions of Galileo's discovery have glass floats precisely weighted 6 gram increments suspended in a clear, environmentally safe, non-toxic liquid. Simply read the tag on the lowest floating bubble to read the temperature: The 14 inch measures every 4 degrees from 64 F to 80 F and is accurate to within 2 degrees with five floats.

• SCIENCE MEETS ART: The Galileo Thermometer is an example of utilizing scientific principle to create a useful artistic piece for day-to-day use. Designed with different colored spheres of varying densities, the thermometer is able to tell the temperature accurately.
• EXCELLENT INDOOR THERMOMETER: This Galileo Thermometer from Lily's Home makes the ideal indoor thermometer. Featuring five multi-colored spheres with gold plated tags. This thermometer works for temperatures from 64ºF to 80ºF and goes up in 4º increments.
• SAFE AND NON-TOXIC COMPONENTS: Each Galileo Thermometer from Lily's Home is made of hand-blown glass and filled with a fluid in both the cylinder and the floats that is non-toxic, non-hazardous and absolute environmentally safe. It consists of an inert oil-hydrocarbon mixture similar to mineral oil. The cylinder walls material is laboratory grade glass that ensures absolute sturdiness.

User questions & answers

Question:	HOW TO SET IT UP
Answer:	Use 1/2 a cup of water and put very little dye. Mix and add more dye if needed. Inject into the globe to about 1/4 to 1/3 level.
Question:	Does this weather station need to be put by the window or can it be put in the middle of a room
Answer:	Not that I know of. Besides, to get the same readings as reported by the local airport or National Weather Service, you have to adjust it to compensate for your precise altitude above Mean Sea Level. You do this by adjusting the calibration screw on the back to match what the nearest weather station barometric pressure, which is already adjusted to the local altitude. Altimeters are actually barometers. The higher you go the lower the pressure. So if you don’t adjust the lower pressure to show what the barometer would read if you were at sea level, the readings would be meaningless as far as “lows” and “highs” are concerned. The adjustment is delicate so you need to tweak it back and forth over a period of time until it consistently matches up with what your local NWS station reports.
Question:	tiene que poner agua con en tinte? cuanto de agua
Answer:	The Fischer Barometer Pascal unit is made for indoors unless the weather station is fully protected from the outside elements.
Question:	I can't find my instructions. how much water do i fill? whats the best way to add the dye? how much powered dye for each fill
Answer:	It's a barometer

Add food coloring to customize the water barometer color (not included). Distilled water is recommended but not required (not included, water must be added to the barometer).

• The Galileo thermometer consists of a sealed glass tube that is filled with liquid (paraffin oil) and several floating bubbles. The bubbles are glass spheres filled with a colored liquid mixture.
• Attached to each bubble is a little metal tag that indicates a temperature. These metal tags are calibrated counterweights. The weight of each tag is slightly different from the others. Since the bubbles are all hand-blown glass, they aren't exactly the same size and shape.
• The bubbles are calibrated by adding a certain amount of fluid to them so that they have the exact same density. So, after the weighted tags are attached to the bubbles, each differs very slightly in density (the ratio of mass to volume) from the other bubbles, and the density of all of them is very close to the density of the surrounding liquid.
• As the temperature of the air outside the thermometer changes, so does the temperature of the liquid surrounding the bubbles. As the temperature of the liquid changes, it either expands or contracts, thereby changing its density. So, at any given density, some of the bubbles will float and others will sink. The bubble that sinks the most indicates the approximate current temperature.
• A narrow spout connects to the body below the liquid level and rises above the water level, where it is open to the atmosphere. When the air pressure is lower than it was at the time the body was sealed, the water level in the spout will rise above the water level in the body and when the air pressure is higher, the water level in the spout will drop below the water level in the body.

User questions & answers

Question:	My Galileo thermometer fell over and broke. I am interested in getting a replacement for just this piece of the set. Which one will fit with the set
Answer:	The Galileo website is very helpful when dealing with replacements.
Question:	How do you get the tube into the barometer? I can only get it in part way before it gets stuck
Answer:	It is best to wet the outer tube to reduce the friction. Next, push the tube in and out of the spout making small progress each time. Eventually it will make its way into the vessel but it does take some time and patience. I hope this helps.
Question:	The storm glass will not fit into the cut out hole in the board. The hole is too small for the storm glass. Please advise. Thank you
Answer:	Mine was snug too when I first got it and there are times when it isn't. My guess is there was too much humidity there is in the air. You can give it a couple days and see if it shrinks down or try and take some sand paper and open the cut out a little.
Question:	How deep is the wooden base? I am thinking about putting this on a ledge that is only 4" deep and am not sure if it will fit
Answer:	The base measures 10.5 in by 4.75 in. Also the countersinks for the thermometer and barometer are 3/16in deep.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many spheres are in the tube and what is the temperature range of the spheres
Answer:	There are 5 bulbs in the thermometer with the degrees of 80, 76, 72, 68 and 64. The temperature is determined by the lowest floating bulb in the thermometer except for when all the bulbs sink, the temperature is over the highest bulb.
Question:	How full should I fill the water in the globe? (I lost my instructions
Answer:	Thank You! I have had this for several years now and the globe's water had evaporated. I too, lost the instructions. Use distilled water to prevent any hard water build up. I put the globe on its side with the glass tube upright sitting on a sponge. That way, the end bottom was lifted an 1/2 inch or so, and fed the the syringe tube to the bottom, that way, the air escaped and it was easy to fill. Took about 4 syringe fillings.
Question:	how do you read the barametric pressure
Answer:	the way I understand it, the higher the water goes up the side, the lower the pressure and more chance of a storm...
Question:	Is this plastic or glass? The first and last picture makes it look beautiful, but the middle pictures looks plastic and dingy. Thanks
Answer:	Glass. My husband always wanted one and we finally got it this year. It stays nice and clear and we watch it on a daily basis...quite fun ! We actually have two ...colored the water green in one and red in the other. Its fun to have one in different rooms !

Glass Galileo Thermometer with Globe Storm Glass

For hundreds of years, the Galileo Thermometer with Glass Barometer have offered function and timeless beauty. To this day, they remain a distinctive decorative accent for any home or office.

Galileo Thermometer

A large glass tube is filled with clear liquid. Floating inside the tube are five small glass bulbs. The bulbs are calibrated by filling them with precise amounts of colored liquid so that they have a specific density relative to the clear liquid in the main tube (some bulbs are calibrated to be higher in density and some are lower). Finally, metal tags that serve as counter weights are hung from each bulb. A temperature is engraved on each tag.

When temperature rises, the liquid inside the glass thermometer tube becomes less dense and the liquid-filled bulbs will sink. When the temperature drops, the liquid inside the tube becomes denser and the liquid-filled bulbs will float. Since the bulbs are different density, some will sink or float more than others.

Storm Glass Barometer

Atmospheric pressure exerts force down the barometer’s glass spout, affecting the liquid level inside the barometer’s globe.

Reading a Galileo Thermometer and Storm Glass Barometer is Part of the Fun!

It's not just a decorative thermometer, it actually works! Each bulb inside the Galileo Thermometer represents a temperature, as indicated by the metal hang tags beneath each bulb.

The temperature is determined by the lowest floating bulb in the thermometer.

When a bulb is seen floating in the middle of the tube, the temperature reading is between that bulb and the lowest floating bulb at the top of the tube.

If all the bulbs float to the top, the temperature is less than the lowest floating bulb.

If all the bulbs sink, the temperature is above the highest bulb.

Product description

Gift Essentials - Galileo Thermometer 11 inches (28 cm) Thick, sturdy glass construction, colorful glass bulbs descend and ascend with temperature changes, lowest floating bulb indicates temperature and liquid magnifies temperature readings.

Product description

Product Description: It will predict barometric weather changes by observing the rise and fall of liquid in the storm glass. All you have to do is to add colored distilled water and it is ready to go. You can use it free-standing on its own, or you can also work it into a project with a wood base and so on but not required. Reading The Instrument: Variations in barometric pressure are immediately indicated by the level of water in the spout. A low water level in the spout suggests “high pressure”, representing fair weather. A high water level in the spout suggests “low pressure” and forecasts poor weather conditions. In cases of severe weather (or major storms), the water may even run out of the spout. How it works: There is “weight” associated with the high and low-pressure systems which bring about changes in the weather. When the storm glass is filled with water, air pressure in the main chamber is trapped and held constant. Any changes in the atmospheric pressure are visible by the rising or falling level of water in the spout. While the storm glass will not indicate exact barometric pressure in numerical values, it is still regarded as an accurate monitor of air pressure changes. Such changes can be visible on a smaller scale, as the instrument is sensitive enough to measure pressure changes between the attic and basement of a three-story house.

• Hand Blown Glass
• 6 3/4" Storm Glass

User questions & answers

Question:	is it clear glass or smoked colored like the picture shows
Answer:	It is clear glass with etchings of the continents. I love the way it looks. i added blue food coloring to the water before I filled it. It's beautiful everyone always comments on it.
Question:	How often do you have to refill liquid
Answer:	I have had my Globe Barometer for 6 months and have never had to refill it. When you receive it you fill it (about 1/2 cup) with water and a few drops of food coloring of your choice. It does not seem to evaporate. It has reached the bowl at the top, but never overflowed.
Question:	Can you tell me the difference between this and the one made by ambient weather? Which is better
Answer:	The globe barometer made by Ambient Weather has a drip cup that is placed below the base. It is possible, if pressure drops very low, for some of the fluid to rise up through and out of the tube at the top. This would potentially stain the surface the barometer sits on. I have had mine for several years and this happened only once. We happened to be watching it at the time, so no harm was done.
Question:	How big is the base of the globe? I am trying to replace one from a set that has a base opening of just under 2 1/4 inches - will this one fit
Answer:	Bottom of base is 2 1/8". Width is 3 1/2" including stem and height is 6 1/2. Love mine. It's accurate and fun.

Product description

This beautiful conversation piece combines two ancient technologies - the Admiral Fitzroy Storm Glass and the Galileo Thermometer.



The Admiral Fitzroy Storm Glass:



How this storm glass really works is a mystery, but it is believed that electromagnetic changes in weather patterns activate crystals inside (sealed-glass chamber fills with crystals when air pressure decreases). Famed meteorologist Admiral Fitzroy used a storm glass on a historic voyage (1831-1836) with Charles Darwin



A storm glass works on the premise that temperature and pressure affect solubility, sometimes resulting in clear liquid; other times causing precipitants to form. However, the method by which this works is not fully understood. Although it is well-established that temperature affects solubility, some studies have simultaneously observed several different storm glasses forming similar crystal patterns at different temperatures. In addition, sealed glasses are not exposed to atmospheric pressure changes and do not react to the pressure variations associated with weather systems.



The Galileo Thermometer:



The Galileo thermometer consists of a sealed glass tube that is filled with water and several floating bubbles. The bubbles are glass spheres filled with a colored liquid mixture.



Attached to each bubble is a little metal tag that indicates a temperature. These metal tags are calibrated counterweights. The weight of each tag is slightly different from the others. Since the bubbles are all hand-blown glass, they aren't exactly the same size and shape.



The bubbles are calibrated by adding a certain amount of fluid to them so that they have the exact same density. So, after the weighted tags are attached to the bubbles, each differs very slightly in density (the ratio of mass to volume) from the other bubbles, and the density of all of them is very close to the density of the surrounding water.

• During the historic voyage, FitzRoy carefully documented how the storm glass would predict the weather:
• Dimensions: Approximately 8" tall
• Galileo Thermometer: Number of glass balls: 5, Glass Galileo thermometer range: 64ºF – 80ºF, Temperature is determined by lowest floating bulb

User questions & answers

Question:	Mine reads 64 by bubble when it is close to 76... Anyone else have this big of difference
Answer:	It is possible the bubble is damaged or broken and will not rise.
Question:	Are the glass balls colored
Answer:	No, clear glass colored liquid inside balls, navy blue
Question:	i've seen other Galileo Thermometers and the glass balls are colored. are these one color
Answer:	They're all the same dark blue/blackish colored.
Question:	How is the product described as being used by Fitzroy and Darwin in 1750, when Fitzroy was born in 1805 and Darwin was born in
Answer:	Hi Kaiser,I am very sorry about this error. I have corrected in the listing. The historic HMS Beagle carried the storm glass on the second voyage (1831-1836).They have been used since 1750, but named after the famous sailor and meteorologist, Admiral Fitzroy. Fitzroy did not invent the device.Thank you for bringing this to our attention.Regards,Ed

Product description

Weather Forecast Storm Glass consists of a special liquid placed inside a sealed transparent glass. Even now so little complete use is made of the instrument. Many barometers and thermometers often show what may be expected a day or even days in advance. Rather than the weather of the present or next few hours.

Wind or its direction affects the storm glass much more than rain or snow. Allowance should always be made for days as well as for hours to come.

Weather forecast glass is meant for the indication of weather changes or its duration. Those of a superior kind of weather instruments are needed for tests and for science.

Weather glass is not influenced by pressure like barometers. Nor entirely by temperature like thermometers. Electrical tension that is being caused in the air during weather changes. Believed to be another element that affects the weather predicting storm glass

Temperature affects the mixture much but not entirely. Examples of winter with summer changes of temperature can prove to you. It is advisable to consider this for any weather forecaster. That is trying to foretell the coming weather by a change of crystals inside a stormglass.

As helpful as these general formations are in most cases, they can be sometimes inaccurate. Therefore, conclusions may be very quickly formed tending to discourage the inexperienced in the weather forecast.

It should always be remembered that the state of air foretells coming weather rather than indicates weather that is present. An invaluable fact too often overlooked - that the longer the time between the signs and the change foretold by weatherglass. The longer such altered weather will last and on the contrary. The less the time the shorter will be the continuance of such weather. Crystal patterns inside the bottle can easily deceive the person. Who from the signs alone expects to see immediate weather changes

• BE ABLE TO PREDICT THE CHANGES IN WEATHER PATTERNS - Want to be among the few people that can forecast the weather? How about make your home look unique and more attractive? Want to unite your family outdoor while observing the weather? Weather glass likewise known as storm glass is an antique weather instrument. It was made famous by the great English scientist Admiral Robert Fitzroy. Who demonstrated that if set up, undisturbed, in a well-ventilated room or, preferably, in the outer air.
• UNIQUE WEATHER PREDICTOR - The chemical mixture in the weather predicting storm glass, changes in character with the way of the wind. The state of crystallization within the liquid inside the weather glass is linked to the weather changes. If you look at the formations of crystals inside the glass tube. You can forecast the approaching weather changes and enjoy the beauty that the instrument offers. While making your home look truly rare and appealing. Want to know how the instrument works?
• HOME DECOR YOU`LL LOVE - If you observe the weather forecast glass as the atmospheric current moves toward or comes from the polar direction. You will notice that the chemical mixture inside grows like fir, yew, fern leaves or like crystallization. Before or during northerly winds, the patterns are beautiful. If the storm glass is duly placed and the least motion of the liquid disturbs the crystals. Making it a unique decorative piece for your home that will spark interest in all your guests.
• IDEAL GIFT FOR WEATHER FANS - As the wind tends more from the opposite quarter. The lines or spikes, all hard or crisp features gradually decrease till they vanish. If you watch weather glass in a continued southerly wind. You will see that the mixture sinks slowly downward in the vial. Till it becomes shapeless, like melting white sugar. In easterly winds, stars are more or less numerous and the liquid dull or less clear. In a westerly wind, the liquid is clear and crystallization well defined.
• FULL DISCLOSURE - Our weather glass can NOT be compared to modern weather forecasting instruments. If you need precise weather forecasts for your area, then this device is NOT for you! In practice, storm glass is slightly better than reading tea leaves but let’s not spoil the romance of the instrument by surrendering to skepticism. IF PLACED CORRECTLY, near a window or outer air. Our storm glass WILL react to weather changes and serve as an extraordinary decoration for your home, patio or office

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work
Answer:	They do work, IF, they are handled correctly! These are antique weather instruments and like many other instruments of similar type they must be placed outside in order to function correctly. Weather glass of course can not be as reliable as scientific weather station, nevertheless, it does work. Unfortunately a lot of people have false assumption that if they place storm glasses inside their homes, they will work as intended. Just like any other instrument or machine you must have proper knowledge in-order to operate it correctly. The same applies to the storm glasses. They are being affected by the wind and outside temperature. If they are placed inside the house, they are only being affected by Heater and AC. As the result, they are not working correctly. If you have any other questions or we can be of any service to you. Please don`t hesitate to contact us via Amazon messaging system. We are here to ensure that all our customers have their storm glasses functioning properly and are fully satisfied with the purchase.
Question:	Where to place a storm glass
Answer:	Place the storm glass in a stable area of your house or patio. Ideally, for best performance, weather glass needs to be near the outer air in order to function correctly since temperature difference plays a huge roll in it`s performance. We have found that the best place to put it is near a window sill or covered patio.
Question:	Does this have to be outside? I want to put it on my desk at work and I'm not near a window
Answer:	You can keep them indoor. However, in order for weather glass to function CORRECTLY we highly suggest to place them on balcony, patio, porch, etc. Some place where weather glass can have access to outside air, away from direct sun light. Our 2 in 1 set includes, 1 Large and 1 Small storm glass weather predictor. Our suggestion would be to place the large one somewhere outside your home and bring the small one to your work. Which will allow you to compare the performance and make your own educated decision for the proper placement. If you have any other questions or we can be of any service to you. Please don`t hesitate to contact us via Amazon messaging system. We would be happy to assist you.
Question:	Where is the ideal place to put the storm glass
Answer:	The ideal place would be somewhere outdoor (Patio, Deck, Balcony, Garden, etc). If you would like to place it inside then it is recommended to place the storm glass in a well-ventilated room, near a big window. In order to function correctly it is advised to have your weather forecast glass placed outdoor, away from A/C, heater. Sunlight can act as another heating source so it advisable to place it in a shady spot, away from direct sunlight. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We would be very happy to assist! Constantinople Team

Product description

These unusual thermometers contain colorful orbs which rise and fall to indicate the current temperature. Crafted of high quality glass and individually calibrated to achieve an accuracy of 2¡F, these thermometers are timeless works of art. The tag on the lowest sphere in the top group indicates the current temperature. Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642) was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His findings provided the framework for Newton's laws of motion and Einstein's theory of relativity. His discovery that the density of a liquid changes in proportion to its temperature, inspired the invention and explains the accuracy of the "Galileo Thermometer".
