NEVER NEEDS BATTERIES. COMPLETELY RUNS ON SOLAR POWER. The world's most advanced world globe actually rotates by itself - without cords or batteries! The 4.5" Rotating Political Globe uses solar energy and the Earth's natural magnetic forces to continuously rotate slowly and quietly inside a liquid-filled orb, giving the impression that it's floating a quarter-inch above the stand. This handsome globe features a political map (showing government boundaries, with countries in different colors) and includes a three-finger acrylic stand.

Rotates silently on its own when exposed to ambient light!

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 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. Its perpetual, quiet motion brings a tranquil point of focus to a room. It really is an amazing sight to see!

The Mova globe works similarly to a compass in that the Earth's magnetic field makes this work!

Makes a great desk toy for the office or an interesting coffee table conversation starter!

Globe is 4.5 inches in diameter (11.43 cm)
