Product description

The striking MOVA 4.5 Inch Constellation Rotating Globe animates the night sky on your desk. With its pitch black background and striking silver constellations, this work of art radiates beauty. The rotating globe also has significant educational capabilities for the star gazer or curious individual. The Greek and Roman names of the constellations are written out in silver, with English translations presented in parenthesis.

Like the slowly turning night sky, this constellation globe moves on its own accord. Driven by the solar cells inside the device, this MOVA globe rotates without aid from batteries and power cords. Only natural or artificial light are needed to get the globe spinning. The gentle revolutions of this model's constellations projects an air of style while celebrating the majesty of the universe. The MOVA 4.5 Inch Constellation Rotating Globe stands 7 inches tall when exhibited on the three pronged acrylic base. The manufacturer's signature stand comes with the rotating globe.

How the MOVA Globe Works?
The MOVA Rotating Globe uses solar energy and the magnetism of Earth to power its smooth rotations. The solar cells within the unit create the globe's slow and quiet movements from available room light, which means that it does not require batteries or power cords. MOVA took inspiration from Earth's movements when designing these innovative products.

The MOVA globe is made up of an inner sphere that spins, surrounded by an outer shell that does not move. Between the two spheres is a crystal clear liquid that supports the inner globe in a nearly frictionless environment. The perfectly safe liquid keeps the two globes from ever touching, even at its north and south poles. The graphics of the map are printed on the inner sphere. The liquid separating the two objects magnifies the map onto the transparent outer shell.

A highly advanced drive mechanism within the globe propels its movements, operating on very low power. The mechanism is powered by the device's solar cells, which use both natural and artificial light from the surrounding environment to create electrical energy. As most ambient light is blocked by the sphere, the solar cells have been carefully designed to produce low electrical energy from minimal light.

Still, another element is needed for the inner globe to rotate, as it rests in a virtually frictionless liquid. Like a compass, MOVA globes use the Earth's magnetic field to provide torque for the inner sphere to push against, resulting in its slow but sustained motion. The models will work on almost any base as long as it does not contain iron, which can block Earth's magnetic field.

The sleek, contemporary design of the MOVA Rotating Globe, combined with its innovative craftsmanship, make it a serene and stylish addition to a room. With its peaceful motion, the MOVA globe is a silent object of wonder on any surface.
