What is inside a MOVA globe?
Each globe has a transparent outer shell made from carefully selected, high-quality acrylic. This external layer remains stationary while an internal one spins using advanced magnets for torque and solar cells to power the movement.
How long does MOVA globe last?
HOW LONG DOES THE MOVA GLOBE WARRANTY LAST? Our MOVA Globes are designed and made to last. All our products are assembled by hand with confidence. We currently offer a one-year limited warranty.
What is the liquid in a MOVA globe?
If my MOVA globe accidentally falls and the fluid leaks, what do I do? This fluid is completely non-toxic oil like “liquid candle wax” and can be cleaned up using paper towels or rags. Whatever cannot be cleaned up in this way will evaporate within a day or so.
How does MOVA globe turn?
The rotation of a Mova globe is driven by magnetism and a photoelectric mechanism powered by light. There are actually two spheres. The outer one is an acrylic shell, inside which a second sphere is suspended in liquid. This inner sphere is covered with a graphic design, such as land masses and water of the Earth.
How does a magnetic globe work?
The Physics: The small globe has a magnet in it and the top of the device is an electromagnet. The electromagnet is pulling up on the magnet in the globe just enough to balance the earth’s gravity pulling down on it. The two forces are equal and opposite so the globe floats in mid-air! (Until the table gets bumped.)
Do MOVA Globes light up?
MOVA Globes rotate with no batteries or wires using first-of-its-kind technology. Each globe has a transparent outer shell that remains stationary while an internal shell spins using advanced magnets for torque and solar cells to power the movement. Just turn on any light and MOVA Globes wake up and begin to rotate.
