Experience this sphere powered by the sun! The vanes in the Radiometer are alternately dark and light in color. When the light strikes these vanes, it transfers heat to each one - but not at the same degree. The lighter vane reflects the rays and the darker vane absorbs the rays. The stronger the light, the more energy there is causing the vanes to spin faster.

Good, but I would prefer it had a suction base so it would stay put on the teacher's desk
Product review of Radiometer

Rating: 
It takes intense direct sunlight to operate the instrument. This differs from other pricier ones I have seen.

Radiometer and Prism

We love the radiometer and prism we purchased through Fat Brain toys. Our 5 year old was amazed. He was so excited that he took them to show and tell at school to show all his class mates. I like to get him interested in science and the natural world. Thanks for offering products like this Fat Brain!

Radiometer
Posted 12/27/2007 by Christopher A. Wolter, D.D.S.
Rating:
A fun little gadget that spins wildly when placed in direct sunlight. I had one of these as a kid about 35 years ago. It spun so many millions of revolutions over the years, that the spindle actually wore a hole through the glass thimble! A fun bit of nostalgia that I now share with my kids!
