Black Wood Surround Galileo Thermometer Description
This stylish black ash wood surround free standing galileo thermometer will look great in any position indoors and shows the current temperature in degrees Celsius.
Galileo Galilei was searching for a way to accurately measure temperature and discovered this fascinating method. He placed several glass globes filled with a certain liquid within a glass cylinder filled with another liquid. On doing this he found that the globes rose or fell over time due to the temperature.
This galileo works on the principle that the density of a liquid changes as temperatures change. each internal globe is exactly weighted to rise or fall as the temperature changes and thus can be used to accurately tell the temperature. Each globe has a brass tag that hangs from underneath that has this temperature displayed on it.
The globe that hangs lowest in the top group of globes with be showing the exact temperature. These beautiful items not only make great temperature reading devices but also make very decorative gifts.

Customer Reviews for Black Wood Surround Galileo Thermometer
LOOKS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE
This item is well made and looks very expensive but was a very reasonable price for a Galileo Thermometer. Lovely surround, lovely brass tags on temperature globes. 1st class!

VERY SATISFIED
We were very satisfied with the product,it was very well made and the Blach Ash surround protected the item making it possibly less easy to break, and of course it was well received as a Christmas present. We will be back later in the year to purchase another model for a Birthday gift. If I may mention the delivery it went very smoothly, particularly at the eleventh hour to Christmas. I thank you very much for all your help and wish you Happy New Year.

THIS MODERN VERSION IS PERFECT FOR MY DAUGHTER
I chose this product as a gift for my daughter-in-law, as she has always admired my thermometer. I chose a more modern version for her and she is delighted. It matches her colour scheme perfectly and it reads the termperature - does exactly as it says on the box!
