This self-rotating
physical globe features topographical shaded relief landmasses as well as
ocean bathymetric detail; ocean currents are also displayed. Not only is this colorful physical globe rich in
geological and oceanic detail, but it also features political boundaries
outlined as well as labeling of countries and major cities.
No batteries or electrical cord are required as this globe harnesses solar
energy to power its internal drive mechanism. When exposed to the proper
light source this globe rotates automatically creating a mesmerizing effect
that's sure to grab anyone's attention.
Solar powered rotation
depends on light and the magnetic energy of the earth to keep it spinning
effortlessly. Advanced solar cells embedded inside the globe provide power
to its rotational drive even under normal indoor light sources. The highly
efficient drive mechanism incorporates a magnetic element that reacts to the
Earth's magnetic field in a similar manner to a compass, providing torque to
drive the globe.
Just as the earth revolves in response to natural energies such as
light, magnetic fields and gravity, so does this exceptional globe, turning
twice a minute under full light, slowing a bit in dimmer light, "resting" in
darkness.
Globe consists of an outer acrylic shell and an
inner acrylic shell, containing non-toxic liquid. Acrylic base.

Spinning Globe close to any device, equipment, appliance, utilities, or
object whose operation or performance may be affected by a DC magnetic
field.
