Description: The Fitzroy Storm Glass Barometer by Blackswan Hourglass. Watch as this Unique Swan shaped Storm Glass forms different crystal patterns that correspond to changing weather formations. 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 do not react to the pressure variations associated with weather systems. How the Fitzroy 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). The Admiral Fitzroy storm glass came into use in the early 1700s. Sailors attached a similar instrument to the mast of their ships and by interpretation of the constantly changing crystal formations, relied upon it to forecast good weather and foreboding conditions at sea. Admiral Robert Fitzroy (1805-1865), as a commander of the HMS Beagle, participated in Charles Darwin's expedition (1834-1836) and conducted a detailed study of this instrument. He refined the chemical formulation and published the following observational guidelines: -CLEAR LIQUID - Bright and clear weather. -CLOUDY LIQUID WITH SMALL STARS AND CRYSTALS AT THE TOP - Cloudy weather and often predicts pending thunderstorms. -SMALL DOTS IN THE LIQUID - Humid or foggy weather. -LARGE FLAKY CRYSTALS - Cloudy skies or snow in winter. -THREADS OF CRYSTALS AT THE TOP - Windy weather. -CRYSTALS AT THE BOTTOM - Frost may be coming.

Description: The Blackswan Storm Glass Barometer by Blackswan Hourglass. This unique Black Swan storm glass can forecast weather changes 8 to 12 hours ahead, by barometric pressure in the atmosphere. How it Works: High atmospheric pressure causes the water in the neck to fall indicating fair weather is coming, Low atmospheric pressure causes the water in the neck to rise indicating that precipitation will likely occur. A rapidly approaching storm generally associated with low pressure can even cause the water to drip out from the mouth of the swan! Dating back to the 1600s the weather barometer is one of the few instruments of its era based on scientific principles and became a standard on seafaring vessels. Black dye included, just add water! Instructions included with ornament. About The Designer: Blackswan Hourglass is a specialist business that handcrafts unique sand timepieces.
