About this deal

As the gas continues to expand, the gas will then bubble through the liquid, making it appear to boil.

Next, the vapor bubbles (created by the evaporation process) travel up through the glass tube from the bottom bulb and into the liquid in the top bulb.Hand boilers date back at least as early as 1767, when the American polymath Benjamin Franklin encountered them in Germany.

Since the liquid both evaporates and condenses at relatively cool temperatures while in an enclosed system, the boiler can be turned upside down, and the top end can be placed in ice water. The warmth from the fingertips vaporizes some of the red liquid inside the tube, causing it to rise and bubble up into the top chamber as if the liquid was boiling. Spiel, Physik und Spaß: Physik zum Mitdenken und Nachmachen[ Playing, physics and fun: physics to follow along and replicate] (in German). To force the liquid in the top bulb to go back down into the bottom bulb, hold the top bulb with your hand and the heat of your hand will increase the liquid pressure in the top bulb and force the liquid back down into the bottom bulb. Physikalische Technik oder Anleitung zu Experimentalvorträgen[ Physics equipment or manual of lecture demonstrations] (in German).

In popular culture, hand boilers used to be sometimes known as "love meters" because the tube that separates the upper and lower bulbs is twisted into a heart shape and the volatile liquid is colored red. Depending on how the item was packaged, one would grasp the lower bulb to "prove" how passionate one was, or a couple would each grasp one end to see who would force the liquid into the other's bulb. These vapor bubbles force themselves through the liquid and cause it to bubble, giving the appearance of boiling. There must be a temperature (and pressure) difference between the two large chambers for the liquid to move.

Since the liquid is often colored with dye, but the dye does not evaporate or condense at the same temperature, the liquid that condenses in the cooled chamber is colorless, leaving the pigment behind. When holding the bottom of the boiler with your hand, the liquid inside becomes exposed to the heat of your hand and it begins to evaporate. With a hand boiler, the temperature of your hand is enough to cause the liquid to bubble and appear to boil.Der Kaffeekugelschreiber oder das Liebesthermometer" [The coffee-percolator pen or the love thermometer]. The hand boiler is an intriguing physics demonstration that is perfectly suited to the high school classroom. The boiler consists of a larger lower bulb and smaller upper bulb, connected together by a twisting glass tube. In this article I explain how the hand boiler works and provide supporting experiments that refute the incorrect explanations. If you have cold hands the hand boiler will not work as well since the heat from your hand is not high enough to cause the liquid to evaporate and boil.

It consists of a lower bulb containing a volatile liquid and a mixture of gases that is connected usually by a twisting glass tube that connects to an upper or "receiving" glass bulb. When held upright (with the smaller bulb on top), the liquid will move from the bulb with the higher pressure to the bulb with lower pressure. Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. As a result it shoots up the glass tube and settles in the top bulb, since it cannot go any further. To view the purposes they believe they have legitimate interest for, or to object to this data processing use the vendor list link below.The pulse hammer (German: Pulshammer) and the water hammer (German: Wasserhammer) are illustrated in: Frick, Joseph; Lehman, Otto (1905).

A hand boiler functions similar to the " drinking bird" toy: [1] The upper and lower bulbs of the device are at different temperatures, and therefore the vapor pressure in the two bulbs is different.
