Large 8.5in Mova Globe - Antique

The MOVA globe is the first member of a new family of objects that come quietly to life when touched by light, without wires or batteries. The MOVA globe works similarly to a compass in that the Earth's magnetic field makes this work! The globe floats at a point of perfect balance between buoyant forces and gravitational forces, and slowly turns as it feels the force of the Earth's magnetic field and the energy carried in light. No need to keep pushing it along or worry about loud noises during its rotation--it rotates silently on its own when exposed to ambient light. The perpetual, quiet motion brings a tranquil point of focus to a room. It really is an amazing sight to see! This globe is perfect for creating a peaceful setting while depicting the Earths geography in great detail.

This beautiful antique version of the MOVA globe shows global wind patterns, labeled countries with major cities listed, waterways and much more. With an elegant typeface and an "old-world" style background, this globe is both nostalgic in appearance and massive in size (a huge 8 inches in diameter!). A cutting-edge display base rounds out the awesome features of this globe. This is THE item to get for teachers needing something cool to put in their classroom, and collectors of interesting and unique gifts needing something new to put in their living rooms. Makes a great desk toy for the office or an interesting coffee table conversation starter.  We highly recommend this for a Father's Day gift, a retirement gift, or for a unforgettable gift to give during the holiday season!

Note: This is the 8 inch, antique version of the MOVA globe.
