The Galileo thermometer is an elegant temperature reading device that every self-proclaimed science geek needs!
Four hundred years ago, Galileo Galilei discovered that objects in a liquid will float or sink dependent on the temperature of that liquid – the basic principles of density and buoyancy.
This glass reproduction of Galileo’s ground-breaking thermoscope combines form and function with hand-blown baubles that are precisely weighted to reflect the ambient temperature.
Size: 28 cm tall, with six glass balls (temperature range 18°C to 28°C).
