The world’s most advanced globe, the MOVA globe rotates silently and is inspired by
the earth itself. It requires no power cords or batteries. . .only the natural light of your
home or office. Available in two sizes and five striking finishes, you can select the
MOVA globe that perfectly fits into your home or office décor. Our three-fingered
acrylic base is included with every MOVA globe. We also offer additional base
models, or you can place the MOVA globe on the base of your choice.
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 MOVA globe is being brought to market at a time when people
everywhere will understand and appreciate this analogy.
The optical properties of the outer sell 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.
