The world's largest thermometer

Picture 1 of The world's largest thermometer Will Herron, the merchant, had dreamed for 25 years about building a giant architectural thermometer. That became a reality in the desert state of California in 1991 for a total cost of $ 700,000.

The world's largest thermometer, 40.8 meters high, is a symbol of the high temperature record in America in Death Valley at -560 ° C in 1913. And it's on Bun Boy's named cafe. Herron in Baker, a small town near Nevada state, ' Gate to Death Valley '.

Herron hired the Electric Sign Company in Las Vegas to build this project with 33 tons of steel and nearly 5,000 electric lights to illuminate a digital show of three-dimensional space.

After strong winds knocked out the thermometer and destroyed a building souvenir shop, it was rebuilt with the inner core stuffed with concrete to withstand all the fluctuations of the weather. Right next to the thermometer - a witness of the local climate temperature - is the eternal architecture of an icon of an egg pan. The thermometer of Baker town has no real competitor.

Minnesota residents insist that the 6.7-meter height of the International Falls thermometer is the world's tallest thermometer. But even ' illusion ' that they are the coldest state in the 51 states of the United States has been challenged by a penguin figure in Cut Bank, Montana - the coldest place in America. So in 2002, the International Falls thermometer had to give up and be demolished after it was no longer available.
