18" WALL MOUNT GALILEO THERMOMETER MULTICOLORED SPS Hanging California Style - Does well in Earthquakes! Galileo Galilei, the pioneer of modern physics and astronomy, never could have imagined that the remarkable thermometer he invented four centuries ago would become one of the most attractive, intriguing, eye catching gift items today. The Galileo Thermometer is a unique looking cylinder filled with colorful sps that float in a special, FCKW free liquid and measure the correct temperature based on a fascinating scientific principle. What Galileo discovered is that sps of different weights would rise or fall according to the temperature. Because the liquids in the cylinder contracts slightly at lower temperatures and expands slightly at higher temperatures, the sps rise and fall accordingly. In a Galileo Thermometer, the lowest floating sp in the upper part of the cylinder tells the correct temperature.The thermometers we offer are made of blown glass and attract consumers who want something that appeals to them visually, practically and intellectually. The Galileo Thermometer is a conversation piece that leaves a lasting impression. Few other gift items meld design and concept so effectively. We jokingingly call this one The Californian since it mounts to the wall and does well through our earthquakes! It is 18" - a full 1.5 feet tall and has 7 Multi Colored Sps with Gold Plated Temperature Tags. Temperature Range of Thermometer 62-86F in 4 Degree Increments. Truly an Outstanding piece! *************************************************Click for more beautiful Galileo Thermometers *************************************************All our items are shipped by Priority Mail, Parcel Post or Fedex unless you, the customer, request otherwise.
