Artisan Radiometer

A Sleek Blown Glass Take on a Science Classic

This radiometer can be used in a classroom setting to teach about the intensity of radiant energy or can be placed on your windowsill at home. As long as there is a direct sunbeam for the radiometer to absorb, the black spinning vanes in the middle orb will continue to spin all day. Made of blown glass, our radiometer is a creative gift for those who enjoy learning about or teaching physics. Measures 8" tall, 3.5" wide. For ages 14+.

What is a radiometer? 

A radiometer is a device used to measure the intensity of radiant energy. A majority of radiometers use only single photocell sensors. In order to measure radiation emitted from a specific spectrum or to incorporate the radiometer within a certain spectral response, an optical filter is normally used.

NOTE: This item ships in discreet and minimalistic packaging that reduces the environmental impact and is perfect for gift-giving
