The Solar Globe that spins of its own accord

We may have come across those little miniature globes in our classrooms or may have even owned one in our bedroom. Well, this globe is just the same, with the only difference of rotating on an axis of its own accord. No, it isn’t possessed by an evil spirit; it simply uses the earth’s magnetic pull to rotate without the use of cords, a motor or human intervention. The globe consists of three photoreceptors inside its belly that gather incandescent or indirect sunlight that powers the internal drive. This system along with the earth’s magnetic field helps provide it with the torque to spin around.

Suspended in a clear liquid in a clear shell made out of acrylic, the globe is free from any disturbance. The acrylic shell can be moved 360 degrees leaving the globe in place. The globe rotates on most surfaces including your palm. Measuring 8 ½ inches in diameter, the globe provides information on 3500 places and water bodies. Using alternative sources of energy, this $400 globe is a great energy saving way to education.
