The ‘Weather Ball' is based on an idea by the German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832). Using only water, it indicates quickly and accurately any variation in air pressure.
A fascinating yet simple instrument, the ‘Weather Ball' is also a good way to help young minds understand the effects of barometric pressure variations.
Filling and monitoring the ‘Weather Ball' makes a great family - or classroom - science project.

  • Includes instructions on filling procedure and accessories to colour the water (food colouring).
  • Made of glass.
  • Water barometers are also know as ‘Spout barometers', ‘Goethe barometers' or a ‘Weather Glass '.
  • On rare occasions, extremely low air pressure may cause water to overflow from the spout, so place the instrument on a surface that can be easily cleaned.
  • From TFA-Dostmann, Germany
