Abstract
A device for remote detection and reporting of fluid properties. A float has a sensor array for detecting the temperature of a fluid and visually transmitting the temperature to a user. The float has at least one side arm and at least one lower arm for detection of fluid properties, where the lower arm has a ballast and a gas bladder for orienting and stabilizing the float. The float, the side arms, and the lower arm are made of a thermally conductive plastic and coated with a thermochromic compound optimized for visually reporting the temperature of a fluid via change in color. The device enables the user to remotely and visually obtain the temperature of a fluid in a closed container.
