The world’s most advanced world globe, powered by solar energy and the earth’s magnetism. Mova Globe requires no cords, no batteries … only the gentle light provided by the fluorescent or incandescent bulbs in your room or office, or the natural light flowing through your windows. It faithfully recreates the earth’s rotation in space, on your desktop, or in the palm of your hand. The absolutely silent and mesmerizing rotation is made possible by advances in solar power and drive technologies. This allows for almost frictionless and continuous rotation. Inside each globe is a patented, ultra low friction drive mechanism, and a set of solar collectors. The globe allows enough light energy to pass through to power the drive mechanism.
The fluid not only allows the globe to turn with little outside friction, but serves to optically project the turning globe image onto the clear outer shell. This creates a visual perception that the globe is spinning on the 3-fingered acrylic base. It’s a fascinating optical illusion!
4.5" diameter globe.
A 3-fingered acrylic base is included with every Mova Globe. Or, you can place Mova on the base of your choice.
