She was amazed by the floating colors in it. This list helped me a lot in picking one for her. I received a Galileo Thermometer as a gift over ten years ago, in fact it is one of the top 5 that you wrote about. Problem is about three or four years ago all the spheres collected at the bottom of the tube, never to float up or down again unless I shook the whole, darn pretty thing! Why did this happen and is there a way to remedy at all? I live in a tropical country, btw. Does that have anything to do with the sinking spheres?

What is Galileo Thermometer? How does the Galileo thermometer measure the temperature? How to read it The different types of Galileo thermometers have different temperature differences. Why buy one The Galileo thermometer may not be the most precise way to measure ambient temperature, but it is incredibly brilliant and looks magnificent.
Here is what to look for when choosing a Galileo thermometer Size As we mentioned, larger Galileo thermometers provide more accurate readings as they have more glass balloons with more different temperature tags. The aesthetics Although they are based on a scientific invention, these temperature reading tools are incredibly impressive and aesthetically pleasing.
Modern thermometers are so outdated. Go really retro and have a thermometer that is based on a design that is years old! Galileo Galilei, the infinitely talented scientist and astronomer and all round rebel of the 15th century , discovered the principle that offered us the first accurate reading of ambient temperature. This beautiful glass sealed cylinder contains a paraffin liquid that suspends colourful hand-blown glass baubles which are carefully weighted to different volumes.
Attached to each of the baubles is a metal tag with the correlating temperature. The theory behind the weather gauge suggests that as ambient temperature changes so does the temperature of the paraffin liquid within the cylinder. This temperature has an effect on the density of the liquid contained within the carefully weighted glass baubles, as each bauble is weighted differently they sink or float at different ranges.
Observing the bauble nearest to the centre of the cylinder provides the accurate ambient temperature. If there are no baubles in the centre, an average reading of both the top and bottom closest bauble will provide the temperature. Galileo's Thermometer is available in four sizes that have different temperature ranges.
