How Galileo Thermometer & Storm Glass Weather Station Works
Based on a thermoscope invented by Galileo Galilei in the early 1600s, the thermometer on your co-worker’s desk is called a Galileo thermometer. A simple, fairly accurate thermometer, today it is mostly used as decoration. 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. This liquid mixture may contain alcohol, or it might simply be water with food coloring.
Attached to each bubble is a little metal tag that indicates a temperature. A number and degree symbol
are engraved in the tag. These metal tags are actually 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.
How to Read Galileo Thermometer And Storm Glass Weather Glass Station
The Galileo thermometer is certainly not the most precise instrument, but yes it is certainly clever. Most people are failed to read it that’s why many people are used Galileo Thermometer as a decorative product. But still, let us show you the methods so you can read them wisely.
To read the temperature on a Galileo thermometer is very easy. What you have to do is simply look at the lowest ball that is floating while ignoring those tags that had sunk to the bottom of the container. It’s those balls that float or are neutrally buoyant that interest us. If there is no bulb floating in the gap between the rising and sunk bulbs, use the lowest bulb from the floating cluster to get the temperature.
A small Galileo thermometer can have 6 degrees (F) of the difference between the balls, which introduces a lot of error into the measurement. Larger such instruments have at least a couple of temperature differences between the diver globes. Most cover the temperatures from 68-84F degrees which makes them suitable only for heated/air conditioned indoor locations.
