Science Meets Art
This fascinating, functional instrument is the point at which science
meets art. Four hundred years ago Galileo discovered that specifically
weighted floating bubbles would predictable rise or sink in a liquid as
the temperature of that liquid is changed. These decorative glass
reproductions of Galileo's discovery have glass floats precisely
weighted in .006 gram increments suspended in a clear, environmentally
safe, non-toxic liquid. Simply read the tag on the lowest floating
bubble to read the temperature.
Galileo Thermometers are magnificent creations that make Galileo's 400
year old principle of relative density a functional reality. An accurate
indoor thermometer encased in brilliant glass, the Galileo is the point
at which art meets science. Galileos add sparkle and focus to any
setting.
Galileos are precisely manufactured. Each of the liquid-filled floats
weighs exactly .006 grams more than the one above it in the cylinder to
ensure a stately and orderly procession of ups and downs as the
temperature changes. To accomplish this balancing, the tags on which the
temperature is marked are attached by had. The fluid in the floats and
the cylinder has to be exactly the same density for the thermometer to
function properly. The fluid is non-toxic and non-hazardous, an inert
oil/hydrocarbon mixture like mineral oil.
Galileos are carefully packaged. The cylinder walls are laboratory grade
glass, so sturdiness isn't an issue. A four-color cardboard box sleeve
surrounds a form-fitted foam case that virtually guarantees safe arrival.
When you are asked to compare our Galileos with others, the differences
are: a) ours have the non-toxic and non-hazardous liquid; b) ours have
thick cylinder walls and the clearest glass and liquid available; c)
ours have five temperature readings in the small sizes. |
