Description
Mova Moving Globe.
This Mova globe stands 7.4 inches high and measures 4.5 inches in diameter (approx).
New and unused.
1st quality.
Copper and black globe.
How it works - The inner globe floats in an almost friction free environment. The globe has the same average density as the fluid it floats in so there is no force or contact between the inner globe and the north and south poles and the inside surface of the outer shell. The rotation of the globe creates forces in the fluid that centre the inner ball and prevent contact at the equator so the inner globe is not actually touching the outer shell.
The energy to overcome the fluid friction is provided by room light that passes through the graphic design and is incident on very specialised solar cells with the globe.
The earths magnetic field pushes against the drive mechanism to move the alignment (the globe has a strong magnet within it).
Sits on a clear plastic tripod.
Boxed.
Weight: 800 grms (approx).
A superb and unusual globe making an excellent present.
This globe is the copper/black world globe with countries blocked in copper and named - Superb!.
