Admire Solar Energy with the Hanging Radiometer
A Hanging Radiometer for Multiple Decorative Uses
The hanging radiometer is distinguished by its structure. It’s made up of a standard radiometer topped by a tough glass ring and a magnificent swan-neck foot. Together, they offer a magnificent view that can be adapted to any decor. The bulb of this radiometer can also be removed and hung on a Christmas tree, for example.
An authentic and functional Hanging Radiometer
The elegant glass model reveals a functional physical system. The hanging radiometer captures solar rays and other electromagnetic waves. Depending on their intensity, the black and gray vanes rotate faster or slower, indicating your level of exposure to the waves. This radiometer gives you the opportunity to arouse the curiosity of your guests or children, and encourage a love of science.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Hanging Radiometer work?
The vanes are black on one side and grey on the other. The black faces absorb more light and warm up more, which turns the vanes. Stronger light makes them spin faster.
What is it made of and how tall is it?
It is made of glass and stands 19 cm high. It has a glass ring on top and a swan-neck foot.
Can I hang the bulb up?
Yes. The bulb can be removed from the stand and hung, for example on a Christmas tree.
Where should I put it?
Place it on a piece of furniture in the sun, such as in a living room, on a desk or on a veranda. It needs light to turn.

The Radiometer, when science magnifies your interior
Turn your home into a unique place by featuring a radiometer in your interior design. This science object was invented in 1875 by an English physicist, William Crookes. It converts warm light into energy when it strikes its fins, creating a rotary motion.

Quite pleased with it in general. Looks lovely hanging by the window but would have liked if it had come with a hook. Not a big deal though.

Purchased this for me dad’s birthday, he’s always been curious about how things work. Watching the vanes rotate when the sun is out really made him grin from ear to ear.

Cracking little gadget. I love how it surprises guests when it starts doing its thing in the sunlight. Shame the box looks cheap.

What a brilliant addition to the study, draws visitors in! the spinning radiometer always starts a chat about physics.
Ajay Patel –
Bit smaller than I expected and delivery took forever. Does spin well though, and the science behind it is fascinating.
Jean Scott –
Grandkids are thrilled every time they see it spinning near the window. Good fun for the young ones.
Margaret Hollis –
bought this for my grandson who’s seven and he hasn’t stopped staring at it since the postie delivered it. It’s hanging by the lounge window now and the little vanes spin round whenever the sun comes out, and he keeps running in to tell me “it’s working, Nana!” Lovely bit of science and it looks rather smart too.

Spot on. Hung it by my desk and the vanes whizz round as soon as the light hits them.
