How To Read / Set / Use An Aneroid Barometer

Kudos to the guy who walked into the eye of a hurricane holding one of these to confirm that the pressure was indeed low.

Brilliant, thanks for that my dad has had one of these on the wall for years, and always used it as he worked outside. I am the new custodian of our barometer and thanks to you I can now read it correctly cheers., Greetings from London

I've relied on my joints for a few decades to predict local weather and changes likely to influence it. Severe inflammation indicates bad weather heading in, even in high summer, as it usually means thunderstorms present or building, during that season, but is more likely to flare during the expected bad weather of Winter. Manageable pain without the need of heavy painkilling medication often accompanies dry, warm weather. Arthritis...nature's way of taking you back to the classroom. 😂 I thoroughly enjoyed your scientific breakdown and thank you for uploading!

Thank you so much! I just inherited one from my dad - similar to what was on your wall - and this was very helpful.

Thanks for the info. I just picked up a German banjo style and your video helped me set and understand it. Thanks again!!!

Thank you so much for a wonderful insight into Barometers, how they work and how we can best interpret the readings. In particular the explanation of falling (low) and rising (high) pressure, and the reasons behind it was really informative and useful, I really enjoyed watching your video and am now top-fit in estimating what they are telling me. I guess recently I've become a bit of a Barometer fan and have already started collecting them, interesting ones. Latest item to the (still small) collection was a Sputnik Weather Station from the 60s/70s. Thanks again and keep them coming. I subscribe :-) - Bad-Cannstatt, Germany.

I found an Airguide barometer at a thrift yesterday and got it because it reminded me of my grandpa but also because I like what it does. Thank you for this video. I tapped it and the needle moved.

I LOVE Barometers, because as you say; no need to wind them, plug them in or use batteries - you hang them on the wall, and they’re there operating all of the time! It’s always good to tap them as you say; I’ve always done that as I pass it, and you can be quite astonished sometimes how much they can move which tells you quite clearly which way the weather is going! It’s important to note though for those new to them, to only tap them very lightly, as after all, these are precision instruments, and they won’t always respond which doesn’t mean they’re not working, as there may be nothing to respond to some of the time. Thanks for sharing!

U saved my life. I am writing a geo test tomorrow 💯💯

Thank you. I have my Grandpa's home barometer

Pretty cool store . Actually worked across the street at DWI .

It is also called as an altimeter, we can also measure the altitude of a place by locating the rise and fall of the pressure in the barometer. While you climb higher altitudes, the pressure in the barometer drops, while you descend, the pressure increase. In this way, you can also calculate the altitudes. Therefore, the instrument is also known as an ALTIMETER.

What a nice explanation! Very calm and clear ;)

Thank you for a very good explanation of how barometers work. As i am growing more and more into the digital world, i get more and more interested in the analog tools from the past. Modern science and weatherforcasting is really phennomenal, but still - an oldfashioned barometer is far more fascinating. And the «unprecise» slowly gained knowledge every man used to have to predict the weather…i miss those days :)

Thank you for clear and simple explanations. I just understand that, even it is rainy outside but don't show it, doesn't mean the preasure is low or the gidget is not working🤔

Excellent helpful video! Thank you!

Thank you for explaining the barometer ❤

Thanks. I want one now. I think I may actually be able to work it.

Thank You for all the information....👍

Que buena colección de estaciones meteorológicas que tiene ud, todo de muy buena calidad, lo felicito x el vídeo. Yo también colecciono instrumentos, de meteorología, geofísica etc. Saludos desde Argentina.
