Description:
|
Each Pulse
glass is filled with a liquid that expands when heated, much like the
liquid in a thermometer. If your hands are warm, you can get the liquid
to completely move into the upper chamber. Then the air will bubble up
into the liquid giving the illusion of boiling. These are sometimes sold
as "love meters".
