What exactly influences the effect of a storm glass, nobody really knows. Because there are currently much better scientific measuring instruments, few studies have been done. In this beautiful and unique gift, different chemicals work together. Other chemicals are: alcohol, distilled water, potassium nitrate (also called saltpetre), ammonium chloride (also called salmiak salt) and camphor. (camphor is a substance that occurs naturally in the camphor
The crystals would arise because chemicals dissolve better or less well in the other substances when there are many atmospheric changes. Mixing the above chemicals creates a liquid. This liquid is very balanced. The substances dissolve. Atmospheric differences such as air pressure, light, temperature, wind and static electricity would change the solubility of the substances. Temperature changes would be responsible for most of the crystal formation. What is a storm glass?

Tips for placing in the house
A storm glass is an object that reacts to air pressure, light, wind, electricity and temperature. It is best to place the storm glass outside. Since there is a very stable temperature in most houses today. When you put it in the house, it is best not to put it directly in the sun. It is also important to let the storm glass acclimatize / get used to the environment.
Difference between a barometer and a baroscope
It has one big advantage over a barometer. A storm glass is often mentioned in the same breath as a thunder glass. However, a thunder weather glass is something completely different. With a barometer you can see by means of the air pressure whether the weather is getting worse. This is usually indicated by a simple line on the glass. A barometer is often contained in a cylindrical glass. A thunder glass is a barometer with a spout attached. By means of the air pressure in the glass, the liquid is pressed into the spout at higher air pressure. A storm glass does not indicate the weather forecast in the indication of a pressure difference but in the form of beautiful crystals.
