Note: This is the political map version. The graphic is much like a common world map with countries in different colors. I also have a listing for a shaded relief version with a graphic that shows mountains, forests, oceans, etc. to portray the three-dimensional geometry of terrain. Antique and Silver / Black Mova Globes Ido not currently sell the antique look Mova Globe because of a defectin the graphic - brown dots all over the ocean areas easily visible in photos. I also do not sell the Silver / Black Mova Globe because the black is actually glossy blue-black and does not have the flat black look as it appears in the stock photos. They are also more expensive. The worldâe(tm)s most advanced world globe, it rotates silently inside a clear acrylic sp Powered by natural light, Mova Globes require no cords, no batteries only the light provided by the fluorescent or incandescent bulbs in your room or office, or the natural light flowing through your windows. Mova Globes faithfully recreate the earthâe(tm)s rotation in space, on your desktop, or in the palm of your hand. The absolutely silent and mesmerizing rotation of a Mova Globe is made possible by advances in solar power and drive technologies. Mova Globes are levitated inside the acrylic sp in a clear, optical-quality fluid This allows for almost frictionless and continuous rotation, regardless the basic laws of physics.When you pick up a Mova Globe, it will immediately remind you of the "eye balls" that always look up no matter how fast you turn the outer sp When you place it on its stand, it takes a few seconds to stabilize and then the inner sp begins slowly turning. The speed will be about 3 to 4 RPM in an average room. The mechanism within these globes is remarkable. Inside each Mova Globe is a patented, ultra low friction drive mechanism, and a set of solar collectors. The Mova Globe globe allows enough light energy to pass through to power the drive mechanism. Mova Globes operate on a mere 1 to 5 millionth of a watt of electricity! 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. Itâe(tm)s a fascinating optical illusion, which contributes to the Mova Globe mystique.Additional information is provided in the documentation that come with the globe. Light and the Earth's magnetic field are essential to its operation. The very sensitive solar cells power an unusual custom designed outer-rotor type motor that turns the inner sp a large disk operates as a compass to provide a force for the motor to turn against. Even your cleverest guests will think long and hard about what makes it work.Mova Globes are as close to perpetual motion as is currently possible! Set a Mova Globe on a desk or table top. Or, on a rich surface such as silk or marble. Youâe(tm)ll be amazed at the effect! Mova Globes are truly magic in motion. A 3-fingered acrylic base is included with every Mova Globe. Or, you can place Mova on the base of your choice. I have had an early 6.5-inch prototype running on my coffee table for several years and still find myself staring at it! The 6.5-inch globes have been available for a few years at nearly $600! These smaller ones cost much less and I personally like the size better. No batteries and or wires. Silent and hypnotic motion. 4.5 inches in diameter. Includes an informative guide. Available for the discounted price of $120 (Suggested retail is $189-199). Do not confuse these with the Terra Magic Rotating Globes that run on battery power and are attached to their stand. Shipping - - Determining the responsible party for an item after it is shipped can be a confusing matter, especially with different laws for different states and countries. Under the laws of the State of Ohio , I am responsible for any purchased item until the buyer takes delivery. Simple as tha...
