Stormglass RESTEQ Glass Barometer

An amazing barometer and original piece of furniture! Thanks to it, you'll always know the weather conditions!

The principle of operation is as follows: a tightly closed flask in which crystals are constantly forming and disappearing. Depending on the weather, crystals of various shapes form in the liquid.

Stormglass is so sensitive that it can predict sudden changes in the weather 10 minutes before they happen. The barometer works better when placed near a window.

Observation technique:

• The liquid in the flask is clear - sunny
• Cloudy liquid - cloudy, possible rain
• Small dots in liquid - damp, foggy
• Cloudy liquid with small stars - thunderstorm
• Little stars in liquid on a sunny winter day - snow
• Large flakes - cloud cover in moderate seasons, snowfall in winter
• Slimy crystals - frost
• Threads at the surface - windy
• The rapid appearance of a large crystal in a transparent flask in good weather - a thunderstorm

The drop barometer on a dark stem has a filling inside consisting of camphor, ammonia, water and potassium nitrate in various proportions.

This device can predict the weather ten minutes before it changes. The liquid inside begins to cloud and form crystals of extraordinary beauty, even though the globe is completely sealed.

The barometer works better if placed on a window. This allows the liquid components to better respond to weather conditions.

It was once used by sailors, travelers and scientists to predict weather conditions for the near future.
