A homemade hygrometer, for determining the degree of moisture in the atmosphere, is shown in the accompanying sketch and consists of a board, A, with a nail at each end to hold the silk thread B. A second piece of silk thread, C, is tied to the center of B and connects with an indicating hand or pointer supported by the bracket D. The axle on which the pointer revolves consists of a piece of round wood, about the size of a lead-pencil, with a pin driven in each end. A piece of tin, E, is cut V-shaped at each end and bent up at the ends to form bearings for the pins. The silk thread C is fastened to the wooden axle and is wrapped one or two turns around it, so that when the thread is pulled the pointer will move on the scale. It will be noticed that the thread B is not perfectly straight, but bends toward D. For this reason a very small shrinkage of B, such as occurs when the atmosphere is dry, will cause an increased movement of C, which will be further increased in the movement of the pointer. An instrument of this kind is very interesting and costs nothing to make. -- Ill: The Hygrometer Mount a wire on a board which is used for a base and should be 3/8 by 4 by 8 in., as shown in the sketch. A piece of catgut--a string used on a violin will do--is suspended from the bent end of the wire. A hand or pointer is cut from a piece of tin and secured to the catgut string about 1/2 in. from the base. A small piece of wood and some glue will fasten the pointer to the string. The scale is marked on a piece of cardboard, which is fastened to the base and protected with a piece of glass.

Who invented the first hygrometer?
A hygrometer is important because it shows the humidity of the atmosphere. For a hygrometer to work though it has to placed outside.
THE HYGROMETER IS A INSTRUMENT USED TO MEASURE HUMDITY.
Hold the hygrometer in the air for a couple of seconds. Be sure not to touch the back of the hygrometer. Check to see where the pointer is pointing.
Hygrometer use for measure humidity and temperature.
There is no difference, a psychrometer is a type of hygrometer.
To measure humidity you need a hygrometer. It is a tool that measures the amount of moisture in the air.
i used a hygrometer to measure the humidity outside
a hygrometer is important because without it we wouldn't know the relative humidity in the air
No, a hygrometer measures humidity; the amount of water in the air.
The hygrometer was invented in the year 1670 by a man named Francesco Folli. Leonardo da Vinci was said to have built the first crude hygrometer in the 1400's.
An absorption hygrometer is an instrument which uses organic material to measure the atmospheric moisture level.
