LOL at the description... "low friction electric motor" it has coils inside and it's more like a compass... trying to point north, but it can never find it, so it keeps rotating... no motors, just circuits...
@luisdanielmesa actually i asked the company about this directly. there is a solar-powered motor inside of it that powers a motor. the magnet keeps the globe upright and the magnetic field allows the motor to move the outside while the "guts" stay aligned north/south.
@chadhorn so an electric powered motor that powers a motor... errm. Read it again, correct it and get back to be.
I got this info from James Randi, and that's what this company told HIM after GIFTING him one of the globes... So, they either lied to you, or as i assume from my first sentence, you explained it the wrong way.
@luisdanielmesa see: google turtletechdesign -- they invented it and own the mova brand. i meant to say a solar-powered panel inside that powers a motor.

Why is this cool? Its just a spinning globe? We've seen those for centuries - or is it because kids of today have never seen one they think its cool???

@Sunesen How do you suggest the earth moves then?

@VdubYo Well, like it says in the description its the engine that moves it. So it doesn't move on its own.

The rotation is solar-powered. No AA's, not just a spinning ball, not just one of the eyeball-balls that roll and stay upright.
