Can you define what a thermometer is? It is a device to measure the temperature of a surrounding. Is this your answer? No. It's not completely a right answer if you take into account the changing use of these devices. In recent times, you can describe it as a charismatic device used to decorate a household and measure the temperature of the surroundings. Galileo Galilei was the famous physicist who invented this equipment with an only aim of measuring the temperature. Galileo thermometers were designed based on the conclusion that he made after one of his experiments stating that the density of the liquid changes with the change in temperature. But the traditional Galileo thermometers have, nowadays, become a decorative item for the houses.
In ancient times, no such equipment existed that could help in measuring the temperature outside. This made Galileo invent thermometer so that it can record the accurate changes in the surrounding temperature whenever required. The people in earlier era chose the products based on how properly it functioned. But gradually, the focus of the public shifted from the functional aspect to how a particular product looks. The fondness of the people for the look and appearance of a particular item led the manufacturers of the Galileo thermometers emphasize more on its looks than on its functionality. This experiment done by the manufacturers proved to be fruitful enough for them as the sale of the new and fascinating traditional Galileo thermometers got catalyzed. This, in turn, gradually converted this device from an equipment to measure temperature changes to an eye-catching item for adorning your house.
With a slim-trim figure and an attractive height of 43 cm, the Galileo thermometers are filled with a clear liquid inside where six colorful balls are suspended. These balls are approximately equal in their shape and size, but are filled with the liquids of different colors that, in turn, give an enchanting appearance to the item making it even more beautiful. The traditional Galileo thermometers were constructed based on the mixed theory of object buoyancy as well as the liquid temperature. These bulbs reflect even the minutest change in the surrounding temperature by bobbing up and down accordingly.
Improved look and appearance of the Galileo thermometers can be considered as a blessing for the manufacturers as it enhanced their business to a great extent helping them gain profuse profits. During the time, when these thermometers were just used for temperature measurement, the sale was limited to a certain extent, but as soon as the transformation in its look got noticed, the demand for these traditional Galileo thermometers got increased to a great extent.
The Galileo thermometers because of their elegant style and fashionable look have been priced quite high. Due to these higher prices, most of the people who desire to decorate their living rooms with these beautiful pieces look for cheaper ones. But it is always recommended not to go for those cheap devices as they are not the original traditional Galileo thermometers rather their imitations.
