The Eye-catching Animation of Magnetic Levitation. Levitating Globe.
This technomagic levitating globe is the art of crazy sciense. It will grace any home or office. It seems to be a perfect gift to any technomanic.
More details: "The objects rotate serenely in the magnetic field in either direction. At the flick of a switch and a flick and a gentle push of the object, watch as the object slowly rotates forever. The light in the base lights up to tell you when the sensing technology detects the object slowing down and applies a powerful magnetic force to keep the object spinning."
People says about this toy:
"Ever since I placed levitating globe in my office it added intrigue and curiosity to my office surroundings and is a great conversation piece; impressive technology and stunning desktop decoration."
