Lily’s Home Desktop Weather Station, with Galileo Thermometer and Fitzroy Storm Glass Weather Predictor

This beautiful conversation piece combines two ancient technologies – the Admiral Fitzroy Storm Glass and the Galileo Thermometer. The Admiral Fitzroy Storm Glass: How this storm glass really works is a mystery, but it is believed that electromagnetic changes in weather patterns activate crystals inside (sealed-glass chamber fills with crystals when air pressure decreases). Famed meteorologist Admiral Fitzroy used a storm glass on a historic voyage (1831-1836) with Charles Darwin A storm glass works on the premise that temperature and pressure affect solubility, sometimes resulting in clear liquid; other times causing precipitants to form. However, the method by which this works is not fully understood. Although it is well-established that temperature affects solubility, some studies have simultaneously observed several different storm glasses forming similar crystal patterns at different temperatures. In addition, sealed glasses are not exposed to atmospheric pressure changes and d
