You don't always need the weather bureau to predict the weather!
Since the 19th century, sailors have used the "Storm Glass" to observe crystal states and deduce weather changes.
Now, it has become much cuter—a little penguin standing in the polar region 🐧!

The liquid inside the glass bottle produces different crystallization patterns according to changes in temperature and air pressure.
Observing it every morning is like having an "ice crystal conversation" with Mr. Penguin.

The five faces of the Storm Glass represent:
‧ When it's overcast and cloudy, the liquid in the bottle becomes cloudy.
‧ When the weather is sunny and the sun is high, the liquid in the bottle becomes clear.
‧ When the temperature drops or it rains, the feather-like crystals in the bottle enlarge and increase.
‧ When the temperature rises and the weather moderates, the crystals in the bottle decrease.
‧ When it snows or frosts, star-shaped crystals fall within the bottle.
💡 Placement suggestion: Please place it indoors in a stable environment (avoid direct sunlight and direct air conditioning) for clearer observation!

What is a Storm Glass?
The Storm Glass, also known as a "Weather Bottle," contains a mixture of camphor, alcohol, water, and other ingredients.
The concept originates from the weather predictor (Storm Glass) used by 19th-century navigators.
The British Royal Navy used it in the 19th century to predict storms, and it is said that Darwin even had one on his ship!
Although not as precise as modern instruments, its changes reflect air pressure and temperature, making it a super interesting chemical observation bottle~
The Storm Glass also appeared in the famous novelist Jules Gabriel Verne's work "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," published in 1873, aboard the submarine "Nautilus."
🙋 Common Questions FAQ
Q: Can it really predict the weather?
It is more of a visual representation of changes in air pressure and temperature.
It's not as accurate as the meteorological bureau, but the changes are incredibly beautiful!
Q: Does it need to be charged or use batteries?
No charging or batteries are required.
It is a purely physical and chemical reaction display bottle that changes just by being placed!
Q: Is it suitable for children?
It is suitable as a small gift for nature observation and science enlightenment,
but children must be prevented from opening it or ingesting the contents.
