The mercury barometer stood lower the higher one went.

Moreover, it is very much the question whether the ban on mercury barometers would be an effective measure.

The first set of experiments relates to determining air pressure with mercury barometers.

On the wall were a compass indicating the ship's heading and a mercury barometer.

Also, as mercury barometers do not require any batteries, they have an unlimited life span.

In 1983 he wrote a scientific sequel to his first book and developed some modifications of the mercury barometer system.

Mercury barometers can be used to measure atmospheric pressure.

A mercury barometer is one of the classic uses of static pressure head.

Torricelli attracted considerable attention when he demonstrated the first mercury barometer to the general public.

Building upon Galileo's notes, he built the first mercury barometer and wrote a convincing argument that the space at the top was a vacuum.

On the wall to my right were the instruments for measuring atmospheric pressure - a barograph and two mercury barometers.

This experiment resulted in the first mercury barometer and created a scientific sensation in Europe.

Torricelli's chief invention was the mercury barometer, which arose from solving a practical problem.

A siphon barometer is the term sometimes applied to the simplest of mercury barometers.

Could it not be a misunderstanding, a contamination from the concept of a manometer or from the mercury barometer?

In 1647 he performed an experiment that demonstrated the role of air pressure in function of the mercury barometer.

Two forms of barometers in common use are the mercury barometer and the aneroid barometer.

Prior to the invention of the mercury barometer, it was very difficult to gather numerical data of any predictive value.

The weather stick is a rare example of a weather prediction tool which predates the mercury barometer.

The mercury barometer consists of a hollow glass tube, about three feet (0.9 m) long, closed at one end and filled with mercury.

A ban would see the end of the tradition of barometer-making and craftsmanship, which began over 400 years ago when mercury barometers were first introduced.

In the Commission's view, however, there is no justification for an unlimited derogation for the further sale of new mercury barometers to consumers.

In 1643, Evangelista Torricelli invented the mercury barometer.

The prime mover, encased in a finely detailed clock body, is a Fortin mercury barometer.

The mercury barometer was invented in 1643 by Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian physicist.
