MOVA Globes

Mova globes spin under the power of light and are constructed of two acrylic spheres, a transparent outer sphere and an inner sphere imprinted with a global map of Earth's continents and oceans. The inner sphere floats nearly frictionless in liquid, not touching the outer globe. In motion, the Mova globe is absolutely silent, producing no vibration as its inner globe glides on its liquid film. It operates on sunlight or strong artificial light. Solar cells in the centre, floating in liquid, provide the energy to propel the inner sphere. But since the inner sphere is not attached to anything, it needs something to push against. That "thing" is the Earth's magnetic field. Mova globes come in sizes and in a number of different formats, Political, Relief, Satellite, Satellite with clouds, Blue and Silver, Stars.

The base and globe's casing are made out of clear acrylic, which give it a really neat floating effect. If you are wondering how this marvellous globe really works (instead of believing in magic). The globe has a small industrial strength magnet inside it, which acts like a stabilizer that forces perpetual silent rotation of the globe against the liquid in a similar way to a compass.

The Mova globe floats at a perfect point of balance between gravitational forces of the surrounding fluids. Carefully designed to operate in complete silence, the Mova globe turns at a peaceful and tranquil pace.

The MOVA globes work well near a window but should be positioned so that they receive minimal exposure to bright, direct sunlight. They are heavy for their size but are a spectacular eye-catching a unique gift making an ideal focal point for any room or office.

The globe rotates from ambient light. The MOVA globe is a world globe that turns gently using solar energy and the earth's magnetic field. No batteries or wires are required. Simply place the Mova globe on its stand and your Mova globe will come to life and start to turn when exposed to natural or artificial light. Light passes through the graphic design onto specialised solar cells within the globe. These cells provide an electric current to a drive mechanism that moves the globe at a very low speed. The Mova globe floats at a perfect point of balance between gravitational forces of the surrounding fluids.

These incredible MOVA globes are a real talking point
