Galileo Thermometer
A Galileo thermometer is a fascinating device that combines science and art to measure temperature.
This Galileo thermometer not only serves as a functional temperature gauge, but also as a beautiful decorative item, making it a perfect addition to any home or office.
The Galileo thermometer measures temperature by the rise and fall of colourful glass globes within a liquid, based on the principle of buoyancy and density. The metal tags attached to the globes indicate the temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.
The thermometer is not only functional but also decorative, showcasing colourful globes that create an appealing visual effect. The glass globe is securely mounted on a handsome wood base, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design.
The liquid inside the glass body is alcohol, with varying densities that change with temperature to cause the globes to rise or fall.
The thermometer comes packaged in a colour box, making it suitable for gifting.
Dimensions:
The thermometer measures 10.8 cm in height and 8.3 cm in diameter, making it a compact yet eye-catching piece.
