About this item
Product Identity: This glass Crooke radiometer features a transparent spherical chamber, slender stemming, and circular base, crafted as a traditional thermal vane for observing light-driven motion.
Core Function: Powered by light energy, the four-bladed rotor inside the near-vacuum chamber spins when uncover to light, and reverses direction, serving as an interactive solar radiometer for hands-on learning.
Design Features: Built with fully transparent glass construction and contrasting black and light-colored faces, this desktop display ornament offers clear visibility of the rotor’s movement from each angle.
Key Features: Compact in size with an overall height of 138 mm, a 75 75 mm bulb diameter diameter, and a 65 mm base diameter, this delicate instrument fits neatly on desks, shelves, or study tables without taking up much space.
Intended Use: Designed as a science demonstration instrument for children and adults alike, it brings physics concepts while adding a decorative, conversation-starting touch to any workspace or learning area.
This glass Crooke radiometer is a beautifully crafted classic thermal vane that combines scientific with elegant, minimalist design. Featuring a transparent spherical chamber mounted on a slender glass stemming and a stable circular base, the entire piece is constructed from clear glass to ensure unobstruct visibility of the internal mechanism. Inside the near-vacuum chamber sits a four-bladed rotor with contrasting black and light-colored faces, a distinctive design that makes the movement easy to follow. At it rates, this solar radiometer demonstrates the relationship between light and heat energy in a visually captivating way. When uncover to light, the rotor begins to rotate the darker areas absorb more heat energy, creating a tiny temperature difference that drives rotation.
Option: Pure Clear
