## Description

What is a twist thermometer and how does it work? Galileo Galilei (1564 &#x2013; 1642) was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His findings provided the framework for Newton&#x2019;s laws of motion and Einstein&#x2019;s theory of relativity. His discovery that the density and volume of a liquid changes in proportion to its temperature, inspired the invention and explains the accuracy of this thermometer. A twist thermometer is a sealed glass vessel containing a colored liquid. As the temperature of the liquid increases or decreases, the volume of this sealed liquid will change proportionately. A graduated scale is printed on the spout with ascending temperatures listed. To read the thermometer, observe the level of the colored liquid in the &#x201C;spout&#x201D; and the printed temperature that is closest to it. As the temperature lowers, the liquid will retract into the center of the vessel to show a lower temperature. As the temperature increases, the liquid line will move further out from the center.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ 







  
  
    The "twist" is that it doesn't work.
  

*by S***H on February 3, 2015*









  
  
    I received this for Christmas. The top temperature marked is 101. The liquid has never gone down that low... according to this thing, it's somewhere around 160 degrees in my house. I put it in the refrigerator to see if that would help - it did not budge. I sent an inquiry to glassic gifts asking how to resolve this and never got any reply.This bothers me especially because I gave an Admiral Fitzgerald glass from this company as a gift and now I have to wonder if it is as useless as the gift I received. Insert large frowny face here...
