Product Description

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 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 hand. 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: 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 6 gram increments suspended in a clear, environmentally safe, non-toxic liquid. Simply read the tag on the lowest floating bubble to read the temperature: The 11 inch measures every 4 degrees from 64 F to 80 F and is accurate to within +/- 2 degrees with five floats.

Most importantly, it was packaged very securely and did not break on the way here. It is smaller than the one I had that broken, but I’m very pleased to have a new one. It immediately started working properly without issue. It even came with instructions for how to read the temperature and what to do if you break it. Highly recommend.

I was definitely worried when I saw it on my porch in an envelope, but there is a chunk of styrofoam in the box that kept the package safe along the way! Took it out and tested it and the temp displayed very quickly and was close to what my thermometer said as well!

My boyfriend’s dad is super excited for this gift! Highly recommend ! It’s not a large one or a small one, I’d classify it as medium and just right as this is such a fragile item

I have three in my home. Excellent value for the price. I regularly refer to these apparatuses to know the temperature in my home. They are more accurate than my thermostat.

The colored balls inside are also a nice feature. You know that when the green ball is up, it is too cold in your home or, vice versa with a darker color.

I highly recommend the glass Galileo for any home.

The Galileo thermometer is a really interesting item. It's more for show that to use as an actual thermometer. I want to make a home weather station and I have added a clock, barometer and hygrometer to the side of the thermometer. I want to put a top on the item and the pointed top of this makes it difficult. This is strictly an issue for me. The thermometer is something I recommend.

I saw one of these years ago but at the time they were much more expensive. I saw this and it is well made and has a reasonable price. I have this on my desk and at one point during the day the sun hits it. When this happens it sparkles and looks fantastic! One final note: The packaging for this was Excellent!

When this product arrived, it was carefully packaged and in pristine condition. It was the perfect gift for a dear friend who had her eye on it for a while. The readings are accurate and put a fun spin on gauging the temperature in a room. The piece is now part of her living room decor, and many visitors compliment her on it. Great experience!
