Description
This globe, which turns without a stand, moves using daylight or artificial light and by the force of the Earth’s magnetic field. Its slow movement allows us to contemplate the beauty of the Moon.
The globe is made up of an outer sphere in transparent acrylic, within which a second sphere, containing liquid, is placed. It is this inner sphere that contains the image of the Earth. In the space between the two spheres there is an equal amount of liquid to that contained in the inner sphere. A magnetic element placed in the inner sphere is adjusted to react with the Earth’s magnetic field. It runs on photovoltaic cells. Daylight or artificial light crosses the surfaces of the two spheres and arrives at the solar cells the energy from this light is stored by the internal mechanism. This energy is used to drive the propulsion system.
The Moon is not only Earth’s sole natural satellite and regulator of tidal effects, but also the largest satellite relative in size to the planet it orbits. With an enchanting recreation that includes the satellite’s steep craterous topography and a rare brilliant shade of blue, the Moon MOVA Globe offers endless hours of fascination and romanticism.
