About the Item

Barometro aneroide o olosterico in ottone, da tavolo e da parete, manifattura inglese della fine del XIX secolo. Buono stato, segni d’uso perfettamente funzionante. Misure cm 5x12,5 – 1.9x4.9 inches. L'ultima foto è la confezione regalo. Si tratta di un antico strumento di misura il cui organo sensibile alla pressione è una scatola metallica detta capsula barometrica. La capsula si contrae o si dilata in conseguenza dei cambiamenti di pressione e i suoi movimenti sono trasmessi a una lancetta indicatrice tramite un sistema meccanico. La messa a punto di questo tipo di barometro si deve a Bourdon, inventore e industriale francese (Parigi 1808-1884), che aveva fondato a Parigi nel 1835 una fabbrica per la costruzione di macchine a vapore; nel 1849 inventò il manometro metallico, a cui legò il suo nome, e nel 1853 un tipo di barometro aneroide. Fin dall’antichità l’uomo, come agricoltore e navigatore, ha osservato e tentato di prevedere l’andamento del clima. Lo studio scientifico dei mutamenti che avvengono nell’atmosfera ebbe inizio alla metà del XVII secolo, in relazione con gli esperimenti tendenti a dimostrare l’esistenza del vuoto, che gli antichi filosofi negavano poiché “la natura aborre il vuoto!”.Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647), matematico e fisico, discepolo di Galileo, fu il primo, nel 1643 a costruire uno strumento in grado di rilevare i cambiamenti della pressione dell’aria. Egli descrisse il suo esperimento frutto della scoperta che le variazioni della pressione atmosferica sono legate ai cambiamenti del tempo atmosferico.
