MOVA Globes
Mova globes spin under the power of light and are constructed of two acrylic spheres, a transparent outer sphere and an inner sphere imprinted with a global map of Earth's continents and oceans. The inner sphere floats nearly frictionless in liquid, not touching the outer globe. In motion, the Mova globe is absolutely silent, producing no vibration as its inner globe glides on its liquid film. It operates on sunlight or strong artificial light. Solar cells in the centre, floating in liquid, provide the energy to propel the inner sphere. But since the inner sphere is not attached to anything, it needs something to push against. That "thing" is the Earth's magnetic field. Mova globes are now available in two sizes and in a number of different formats, Political, Relief, Satellite, Satellite with clouds, Blue and Silver, Stars and you can even have you own Mova globe created to your specification if you are willing to buy enough of them! There can be no doubt that with Mova globes, William French has produced an enduring product that will define the globe market for years to come. All we can say do is to doff our hat to this master inventor whose Mova globes are a joy to behold.
