Description
The Galileo thermometer, manufactured in glass, is a decorative instrument for measuring temperature. Based on Galileo Galilei´s buoyancy principle, which says that the density of a liquid changes proportionally to its temperature. This thermometer is comprised of a glass cylinder with glass balls of different colours immersed in an inert liquid. Each ball is associated with a temperature which is engraved in a metal plate. All materials are safe. The thermometer works as follows: with the temperature changes the multicoloured glass balls rise and fall. The temperature is that of the lowest ascending ball.Seller Information
