The MOVA globe breathlessly rotates in continuous motion like planet Earth without the help of batteries, adapters, or cords. Quickly becoming one of the top gadget marvels of the year, the MOVA globe contains solar cells that produce energy to power a low friction electric motor. Though the globe only allows 10-15% of light to pass through it, the motor itself can operate on small amounts that equate to a single average wave length from the sun. The globe continues its rotation whether it is on its display stand or in the palm of your hands. The globe’s casing and base are all made out of clear acrylic, giving it a cool floating effect. It comes in 4 varieties and would make the perfect gift or desk topper. Watch the Mova Globe in action after the jump.
The globe floats in a clear liquid which is encased in a hard acrylic body. A small industrial strength magnet within the globe acts as a stabilizer to force perpetual silent rotation of the globe against the liquid. The magnetic field of the real earth keeps this internal magnet in an N-S alignment. Whereas, Torque from the motor counters the torque generated by the earth’s magnetic field and perfect suspension of the globe in liquid recreates the weightless state of planet earth as it travels through zero gravity. The MOVA globe may be 4 lbs and 6-inches in diameter, but the liquid suspension eliminates the appearance of weight completely.
