- MOVA Globe - Satellite Natural Earth (Solar Power Revolving World Globe)
- Available March 2012 $145.00 - $210.00 (free ship/h) Price Match Guarantee
|  The sheer size and scope of the earth's terrain features will jump right out at you when you see the Satellite Natural Earth MOVA globe.
Comprising over a quarter of the world's forests, the vast Taiga of Northern Eurasia and North America is especially apparent.
Covering an area almost as large as all of the United States, the extent of the Saharan desert in North Africa is pretty amazing.
And take a look at the immense Antarctic Ice Sheet. Averaging one mile thick and holding 90 percent of the world's ice, if it were to melt, ocean levels would rise by 200 feet! |

| - MOVA world globe uses solar power, as well as the force of planet earth’s magnetic field to perpetually revolve on virtually any* surface. The globe rotates in continuous motion as if by magic on an elegant clear acrylic stand. No batteries or wires are required. This unique MOVA world globe makes for a truly stylish and exceptional corporate gift or award.

The MOVA globe rotates peacefully and silently using only the energy of room light and the force of the earth’s magnetic field. This is possible because the MOVA globe is actually an inner globe that rotates and is contained within an outer shell made of very clear acrylic that does not rotate. The thin space between the inner globe and outer shell is filled with a safe, perfectly clear fluid that buoyantly supports the inner globe completely out of contact with the outer shell. This inner globe, floating and turning in a virtually friction-free environment and energized by light, is analogous to the earth itself.
The optical properties of the outer shell and fluid are carefully chosen so that the graphic features on the surface of the inner globe are magnified and appear to be on the outer surface of the outer shell. This means that the outer shell actually appears to move. The MOVA globe can rest on an attractive three fingered stand that is provided, or on just about any other kind of stand that can be chosen to complement it’s graphic design. The MOVA globe appears to rotate in spite of resting on the stand, in quiet defiance of commonly held ideas about the laws of friction.
A carefully designed, and highly efficient drive mechanism within the inner globe drives the rotation even in room light. Energy for the drive is provided by very advanced solar cells within the inner globe, illuminated by light passing through the graphic on the globe. The drive includes a magnetic element that reacts with the earth’ s magnetic field, much as a common compass does, to provide torque to drive the globe.
All of these elements of the MOVA globe cooperate to create a beautiful, magical object that provides a meditative point of focus to any room. |
