Storm glass or weather forecast bottles are a device invented by navigators in the 17th century to predict weather changes to predict storms. Although this is a great invention, the inventors were not known to the general public at the time.
Later, the equipment became popular in 1860 under the propaganda of the then British Navy Admiral general: Robert FitzRoy (Director of the British Meteorological Agency).
Composition of the storm glass varies, but these devices are often of little value to the weather forecast, and although they do not have the accuracy of today’s advanced electronic forecasts and weather stations, they are still an ancient, beautifully decorated bottle. Modern research has shown that temperature changes are an important cause of crystal growth.
