Satellite View Globe -
Self-Rotating
This self-rotating
globe features captivating satellite imagery of the earth. Watch the planet
earth as it would appear from space rotate silently atop a three-fingered solid acrylic base.
No batteries or electrical cord are required as this globe harnesses solar
energy to power its internal drive mechanism.
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.

NOTE: Since the lighting and earth magnet
field conditions may vary greatly from one place to another, it may be
necessary to try different locations to place the Solar-Powered Spinning
Globe for its best performance.
WARNING: Do NOT place the Solar-Powered
Spinning Globe close to any device, equipment, appliance, utilities, or
object whose operation or performance may be affected by a DC magnetic
field. |
