Have the World at Your Fingertips
While it rotates silently on its own!
This globe features stunning satellite imagery of the planet Earth. The swirling masses of clouds over green land masses and water bodies portray a lively, gorgeous planet that comes to life when touched by light, without wires or batteries.
It floats at a point of perfect balance between buoyant forces and gravitational forces, and slowly turns as it feels the force of the Earth's magnetic field and the energy carried in light. Its perpetual, quiet motion brings a tranquil point of focus to a room. Add more light and watch the Earth spin faster, dim the setting and observe it slowing.
How does it work? A carefully designed, and highly efficient drive mechanism within the inner globe drives the rotation even in room light. Energy for the drive is provided by very advanced solar cells within the globe, illuminated by light passing through the graphic on the globe. The drive includes a magnetic element that reacts with the earth’s magnetic field, much as a common compass does, to provide torque to drive the globe. It’s a fascinating optical illusion!
