Storm Glass Follow-Up & Experiment
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- After a month of watching my Storm Glass not really change I decided to experiment with it- amzn.to/2D8JYjP and see which aspect of weather causes the crystals to grow or dissolve. If you own a Storm Glass (seems it was a popular gift this pastChristmas) please share your experience in the poll during the video or in the comments down below. Thanks!

Speaking as a very rusty science teacher, I would be careful about the big heat-up and cool-down cycles.
My guess is you can actually (and possibly permanently) change the chemistry of the solution if you heat it too much.
Fitzroy had plenty of time on his hands when he was at sea, and I think he interpreted his storm glass patiently and in a very subtle fashion.
When I was a young man fresh out of my training I would likely have been very dismissive of such a thing; but as I have travelled through life I have a much more open mind. I think I will get one myself and study it:)
If you look online. Granted I’m sure you’re over it considering this video was posted 4 years ago. Online it will tell you how to reset a storm glass. You must submerge it in mildly hot water for 20-40 mins and then gently shake it every 5-10 mins. It says repeat until glass is clear of crystals. Hair dryer thing sounds like a bad idea.
Wouldn't be so much easier to just place it in the very warm water?
Might have better luck with a weather rock
I still see those at gift shops occasionally.
I had a great laught at this comment, thx!
😂
I was curious about how they work and how accurate they are. Thank you. You just saved me $30.
🤣🤣
I would recommend you and your viewers be careful heating these things up. That's ethanol in there so the boiling point is approx 78°C (172° F). Just as a point of reference, the boiling point of water is 212° F. If there were to be a build up of too much pressure, it would most likely only crack and leak, probably wouldn't pop, but better safe than sorry. The other chemicals in there are relatively safe and not really very toxic either. But you don't want to get burned or cut with broken glass.
Just my 2 cents. It seems like if it is going to predict the weather, maybe it needs to be exposed to the weather. Indoors, the pressure and potentially humidity can be detected, but indoor temperature is mostly controlled by thermostats today. Since we don't really know if it is indicating changes in pressure or temperature (and perhaps both), it should probably be located outside in the shade - in an unheated well ventilated tool shed, for example. I also have to believe that humidity is not a factor since the crystal semi-solution is contained in glass.
see your thinking like me i figure its reacting to the indoor condition back when these was invented and used there was no heat pumps likely homes weren't nearly air tight as well . i think they are being used the wrong way
Fitzroy believed that the changes in electric tension is one of the factors which influences the crystals inside. I don't think that you can observe that just by putting the storm glass in a fridge for a couple of hours...
How can in work in a house and be accurate. Think this is supposed to be outside away from direct sunlight for it to be less of a novelty item. Central heating and air conditioning will be your predictions indoors.
It's a barometer type system.
Direct sunlight on the glass can break it
@@trueRocc it should be used outside
@@Julia-zz3gl mine says not outside, however they were apparently tied to ships masts in days gone by so I don't know.
we have blustery snowy weather forecast this week here in the UK & this morning my crystals were creeping up the side of the glass & along the surface.
Yeah you needed to dissolve ALL the crystals.
I'm 99% sure the solution has to be super saturated to work. If there is a single crystal left, then as the temperature drops the single crystal will act as a nucleation site and all the white solid in solution will crash out.
I think you were right about the large crystals though. Because it went from very hot to very cold quickly, the crystals would have formed irregular shapes, instead of neater compact crystals.
In any case I don't think it will ever work like we want it to.
I have the tall storm glass. You need to shake it when you first get it, until most of the crystals are dissolved. Mine is sitting on the kitchen table with no direct sunlight, no ac or heat blowing on it. it works. Just this morning It built a cool crystal form. I knew it must be going to storm. We had afternoon thunderstorms. When the storms passed the crystals settled to the bottom again. You also need to leave it in place and not keep moving it around. I love mine. I also have the bird storm glass. It works too. There isn't as much liquid in it so its a little more difficult to read like the tall one. Hope this helps someone. I have had these for a few years now.
It might be important to somehow simulate the situation of the original environment in which the instrument would be operating in. Who has a 1800s HMS?
Perhaps not the temp change as such but the speed of the temp change would be the key(much like a barometer with pressure change,the more sudden the change the more extreme the weather is likely to be)
Did the same things with mine and got the same results. Also put it in the freezer overnight. IMO, the only thing it actually indicates is the ambient temp. Hot = clear. Cold = cloudy and solid-opaque out of the freezer. The liquid did not freeze.
Hi, I noticed this through another string of videos and since it's pretty recent, I thought I'd comment. I own a similar weather glass (or storm glass) that was a gift from my dad a few years ago. Mine is the vertical tube style, but I don't think that makes a huge difference. I can tell you that the crystal formations in mine do change from week to week, month to month, but there are some times when it doesn't do much of anything for long periods. It will often have a flat layer of white crystal powder at the base, and then it might start growing beautiful feather or fern-like crystals, but I can't really seem to predict what sets it off. I have mine just sitting on a dresser in my bedroom, and it either ends up looking really amazing, or really boring, depending what crystals are (or aren't) forming in it.
I suspect that this particular brand might not have the best "mix" in it. Perhaps there's too much camphor and not enough alcohol. There's certainly a LOT of loose white crystals in the base, so not a lot of space for the crystals to grow. When mine is in the "dull" stage, there's maybe just a half inch of crystal powder, but then it has a good 4 inches or so of clear solution above it.
Just my 2 cents. I know you can also make your own in just a mason jar with a few chemicals but I don't know if buying all the ingredients is just as expensive as buying a ready-made one.
Thanks for the info! It certainly could be the chemical mix. To really test it out I guess I would need to make my own using the original Fitzroy recipe.
mine has similar results as yours and mine I got for like 2 dollar from ali express its looks just like the one in this video but seems to work much better than his I keep mine in a window that's always open so as close to being outside as possible
Well well well... yes late night shopping. Yes weather rock would have been next. Can’t wait to get this and place it on the shelf with 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️my other .com oddities. 😔🤦🏻♀️
I'm wondering if its because it senses that the pressure is not real in the atmosphere because it was experimented on it from super hot to super cold and maybe it should stay close to a window to predict the real pressure from the atmosphere outside. I have one and on a clear day, the crystals will settle at the bottom, on a cold day they will rise. but look like snow flakes from within. I have mine tilted and it looks like a test tube. It must stay still, like an Orchid, put it in a non draft place and leave it alone and watch it over time. take video on different days of inclement weather and then send a video of different days on your end. I am interested to see what you get. ❤
Sneaking that promo in with the goggles 💅
I live in Temple Texas I have a storm Glass also it works not as accurate as my accurate weather station outside.thank you for your Review
I think the advice from your comments about putting a dryer on it ruined it. Regardless, doesn’t look like it would work anyways.
Seems to say reply hazy try again. Yeah, it's doesn't seem to give Crystal clear results. Got one for my grandpa. It's on a shelf and doesn't seem to be doing much, but looks cool.
You camphor the weather predicting but stayed for the cool look.
Great follow up video.
Thanks!
Interesting experiment. From what I little Ive learned, these are to be located out of doors to detect weather temp changes. Indoors is primarily a controlled temp environment therefore, one would not see much if any change in crystal activity.
I think the same. The admiral Who invented It did not put It inside the boat i think
玉Petra ... Yer Right! Plus in the olden days, they didn't have the AC/Heat boat bridges have today.
Love your name, my late husband had a Commander named Petra and I named my rescued old puppy milled Yorkie Petra.
I have aneroid barometer and still unable to predict weather, and it could be pretty hard to predict weather weather by storm glass.
Its sad that Admiral Fitzroy who sailed the seas with Charles Darwin ended up with his name associated with this novelty.
I think the modern day device is quite different from the original one he came up with.
Forget Darwin, he was a liar & a freemason ! No wonder
I think it has the same components or content as the hot compress in a pack that becomes solid after activating it
That's what I was thinking. They always require you to melt it again in hot water to be able to re-use & it doesn't stay liquid for long. It only stays liquid if it never gets activated. I think I RUclipsd that one before, maybe there's something different in there, can't remember if it has one of the ingredients in common.
honestly i think its not going to work as its only exposed to indoor conditions
Thanks for the follow up.
Sure thing!
the storm glass works on the bases how quick the temperature rises or falls and the positive and negative ions in the atmosphere a head of weather systems. keep the storm glass away from any form of artificial heat and direct sun light.
Hiii! Love your videos!
cool storm glass did you like it paris
It is cool to look at- but not very useful.
oh ok paris
Thanks!!
Personally I think you played around with it to much. I have one in the shape of a bird and placed it on my TV stand and have left it there since day one. My crystals change position often. I've not yet connected it with what the weather is doing outside.
I want to get this for my 2 children. Is it even worth it for a 12 and 10 year old?
NO!!!!
yes. just use it properly.
gently shake it to start off, put it in the corner of a room out of direct sunlight & leave it for a couple of weeks to acclimatise.
oh & don't heat it up lol.
Did you wear ear plugs for those 40 minutes of blow drying 🙉
maybe its because it was delivered in a package.
Fine review. Thank you. (subscribed)
Thanks!
Probably has to be calibrated in some, now unknown way.
I haven't finished watching this video yet, but i wonder if, being like you say a closed atmosphere inside and steady in terms of pressure: if that is how the basis works. By showing what happens with a difference of pressure and temperature between inside the orb and outside?
Much better follow up than the last storm glass video! Thanks for the info
Well ifwe think how they used and where they were used it makes sense to keep these outside? Ships hundreds of years ago wouldn't have been heating like indoor central heating.
If you want an accurate temperature reading why don't you just get a thermometer?
So how is it looking now?
They're supposed to live outside though
It still doesn't matter, all it does is dissolve/crystallize depending on temperature. It has nothing to do with weather prediction and everything to do with temperature changes
@@Philitron128 duh... But, you think there will be as many temperature fluctuations in a warm enclosed space... Or outside. . .
@@phonotical well outside obviously but then it loses all value. It's not a very good thermometer and it can't predict weather. It does look pretty though so leaving it outside kinda defeats the purpose of having one at all.
@@Philitron128 you never buy a garden ornament or hang a pinecone outside your window? Jesus, use your fucking brain for two minutes
@@phonotical It's okay
Dont shake it 🤦♂️
I will say this though. Barometric Pressure will absolutely affect the contents in the glass. The pressure against the glass.
That's a very dumb comment.
What is the point in blowing hot air at it? The instructions distinctly say not to place it near an A/C unit. I've also read that they only work properly outside but mines glass so I won't be using it outside.
🤣🥰😋😍
When the everighe thention of that total dimention is let say 😍(-100)
You heath up with (-120) you have diverentional of 20.
But if you ad (-80)
You olso have a diverentional of 20 for the expansion bit bi exelerating that it tace from To cool down you end up with more.
But when you exelerate bi cold transition and it cools down (find balance it took less to cool down as it everighe thetion had lowerd down you probebley end up with less😍🥰😍
I watch further
Thank you and oll for sharing🙏
And oll injoy beïng🖖🌈🍀🌳🍀
The space inbetween oll particles it's everighe thention desides the behaviure of the cristals like the cloud deside how the electrons behave when we put a conditioned electron to ad its conditions to the total cloud this is the same
How I used gans of quarks in a fless in the midle of the cosmic feild reactor to show the analog dark hole generator its interaction bi the gans particles tacking positions as galaxys on demand of the feildflow of the total setup.
What men named analog dark hole simulator 💜
Thentional diverentional desides fheun makes the total glas wharm.
Just put a old treth lightbold next to it and ice on the other side and see.
Maby tray olse strong magnets to see if you can profoce behaviure .
Not in Minnie's but in days.
Slowley you will see interactions that ad to your wish to undersyand it 💜🎁💜
First!
Howdy!
You do NOT need to clear it, it will clear on it's on. You are NOT supposed to keep it in your house. Did you not do the least bit of research on the thing?
"Keep it indoors." .."Avoid direct sunlight.".. - This is in the instructions. So what do you suggest?
Josef, perhaps you need to read the directions.
And look where the weather glass got Charles Darwin. He ended up thinking we all came from a rock. So with this case I agree... try a weather rock!
I mean, he wasn't totally wrong.
You should boil the glass to COMPLETELY break down the crystals

No you shouldn't because it contains alcohol which will quickly evaporate and potentially explode in a sealed container.
You stood there for 20+ minutes with a hairdryer and never finished the job. Are you kidding me? You had multiple ways of heating it up all the way right next to you. How about microwave. How about hot water. How about the oven. Nah bruh, let's blow air on it for 20 minutes and then give up.
I put mine in warm water and it dissolved fast.
