Mercury is the liquid typically found in a barometer. It is used to measure atmospheric pressure due to its density and ability to rise and fall within the tube as pressure changes.
It's known as an aneroid barometer. It works by the difference in pressure causing a partially flattened tube which is wound into a coil to straighten out. The movement is converted to circular motion by a series of gears. the central shaft has a needle attached which indicates the pressure.
A thermometer typically contains a liquid such as mercury or alcohol that expands and rises as temperature increases. A barometer contains a column of liquid (often mercury) that changes height in response to changes in atmospheric pressure.
An aneroid barometer is a type of instrument that can measure air pressure without using liquid. It consists of a small, flexible metal box that is partially evacuated and attached to a mechanical linkage that can record changes in atmospheric pressure.
A partially evacuated chamber is used in an aneroid barometer because changes in atmospheric pressure will cause the flexible chamber to expand or contract, which is then measured and indicated on the barometer dial. This mechanism allows the aneroid barometer to measure variations in air pressure without the need for a liquid-filled chamber like in a traditional mercury barometer.
The straw moved up and down in a homemade barometer due to changes in atmospheric pressure. When the pressure increased, the liquid in the bottle pushed the straw up. When the pressure decreased, the straw moved down due to the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on the liquid in the bottle.

Mercury.
A portable barometer that uses a small flexible metal box instead of liquid is called an aneroid barometer.
A barometer can be used to measure the vapor pressure of a liquid by placing the liquid in a sealed container connected to the barometer. The pressure inside the container will increase as the liquid evaporates, allowing the vapor pressure to be determined based on the pressure reading on the barometer.

A barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure. It can measure the pressure exerted by the atmosphere by using water, air, or mercury.An aneroid barometer is a barometer which measures pressure without using fluids!An aneroid barometer is somewhat different and uses a sealed chamber upon which the fluctuating atmospheric pressure acts. Through mechanical means a pointer is moved on a calibrated scale.
Actually a barometer can be made of just about any liquid with a sufficiently low vapour pressure. For example, most people don't realize that their toilet acts as a barometer. Traditionally barometers were made with Hg, but they could be made with just about any liquid with a low VP.

When air pressure goes up, the liquid in a mercury barometer goes down. This is because as air pressure increases, it pushes the mercury in the tube to rise, indicating higher pressure.
The kind of barometer you are referring to is a aneroid barometer. It uses a metal chamber (an aneroid cell) which expands or contracts with changes in air pressure. This movement is then converted into a reading of air pressure on a dial.
