[WhiiteRaven]

[jbrun009]

Get an air pump and see how fast it spins

[comaradella]

[PackthatcameBack]

It's the CEC logo!

[TheRhinehart86]

Reminds me of the spinning earth statue at the begining of Deus Ex 1

[smooveoperator00]

[yodagreennutsack]

Earth of Columbus!



[SuperChij]

ppl playing with the globe

[tilted624]

i think this is how ufos work lol

[breakonade]

sweet

[perebraco]

but will it blend?

[ptthebest25]

@perebraco of course.

[nathanjames098]

spelled worung

[nathanjames098]

magnetics!!

[declanblog]

every nerds dream

[bladerunner12]

Actually it does. Earth's axial tilt shifts forward and back by about 1.4 degrees over some period.

[alhroufe]

its really great .

[TheJackks]

useless , fuck yea !

[bidroid]

how about a deathstar

[costeaalexandrumihai]

Discovery Channel :D

[manufnord]

i want my ufo!!! cant wait anymore. must fly in the galaxy°!°!!

[LiveOutLoudUSA]

earth has a wobble....lol

[vwnutdamo]

@LiveOutLoudUSA yeah thats my dodgy spinning... sorry about that LOL

[Straylight4299]

@vwnutdamo

Don't worry, it's realistic!

The real Earth does that too.

[madm1ke]

@vwnutdamo The earth does have a wobble... Not sure if that one matches though :-P

[tgwa96]

@vwnutdamo It actually does! And every 26,000 years it re-sets itself. Thats why some people think the world will end in 2012, because the earths about to reach that point. I dont think anything will happen!

[ToaoRaj]

@LiveOutLoudUSA What's so funny? The earth actually does wobble. IIRC, it's called the precession of the equinoxes.

[LiveOutLoudUSA]

@ToaoRaj i know that was the point of my comment good folks! i know earth actually does have a wobble.. i understand how that could have been taken as...... LiveOutLoudUSA must be a dumbass for stating the obvious! i could have commented like straylight all i was saying is that " it's realistic" no need to apologize for "dodgy spinning" Happy viewing folks!

[xEpicGunzx]

@LiveOutLoudUSA it does irl....

[120shadow2]

@LiveOutLoudUSA cuz of dubstep :]

[fatqwert200]

@LiveOutLoudUSA earth does have a wobble, it rotates around an "ice cream cone" like equation but its so subtle

[manchora]

@LiveOutLoudUSA earth actually has a wobble, not in rotation though but in revolution (due to the moon)

[Kaeralho]

@LiveOutLoudUSA actually, it does. a full turn takes about 20 thousand years

[hammer1234509876]

@LiveOutLoudUSA well the axis IS tilted..

[davidevgen]

@LiveOutLoudUSA orbital wobble lol

[VBH8888]

@LiveOutLoudUSA it actually those have a wobble but slower than this.

[Helium3Fusion]

@LiveOutLoudUSA earth does have a wobble, it called precession.

[TheDaedalEVE]

@LiveOutLoudUSA

actually it does... that's why we have seasons.

[lebrontravelled]

@TheDaedalEVE thats not because it has a "wobble" its because it has a tilted axis relative to its orbit around the sun, (it does actually wobble but over millions of years and extremely slowly and its not what causes seasons).

-Astronomy Nazi

[TheDaedalEVE]

@lebrontravelled

Well the tilted axis is what I was talking about. Wasn't even thinking about the Chandler wobble or anything like that.

[tombraiderguy123321]

oh thas fukin deadly! u got tha in argos didnt u?

[vwnutdamo]

@tombraiderguy123321 I did indeed LOL!!

[gurabitybul]

how is that possible? Just curious :)

[vwnutdamo]

@gurabitybul Clever use of electro magnets :)

[Jabirupilot1]

@vwnutdamo electromagnets... would this work with standard non electromagnetic magnets?

[WhiiteRaven]

@gurabitybul ask to obiwan kenobi or chuck norris i'm sure they'll KNOW :P

[xtcongo]

Very nice object, but the wobble detracts from the effect ever so slightly

[lucky21708]

where can i purchase one of these?

[vwnutdamo]

@lucky21708 Argos / search for science museum globe on amazon

[Nekro9000]

@vwnutdamo how much power does it use

[vwnutdamo]

@Nekro9000 honestly I couldn't say... I have long thrown the packaging away...

[freshSounds4u]

@lucky21708 amazon ;)

[einarknutsen]

@lucky21708 you have to build them. *trollface*

[Cardiovasdcular101]

Where did you get this?

[fruiteo]

@Cardiovasdcular101 argos,lol

[BlackTigerAP]

nice toy!

[beowulf811]

Where I can buy it please?

[ArnoutDeVos]

awesome :-)

you might get sick watching it too much tho :-)

[1Kekula]

nice ; you never ever need a sail now ;)

[FlawlessEdwardo]

its nic. shame spins too fast for my liking :(

[vwnutdamo]

@FlawlessEdwardo thats ok, i span it a little faster than usual so i had time to grab the camera. you can spin it as slow / as fast as you want :)

[FanOfAwesome1]

No! It's a string! Dammit...

[vwnutdamo]

@nabsta05 argos!!

[ElectronicSineWave]

Damnit, I love such things.

[nabsta05]

I want one..where can i get?

[Videovince1]

damn, somehow it looked way bigger in the thumbnail... Awesome though !!!!! :D

[king4allstars]

if it was antigravity cool ... but iz not its electric magnetic field ... !



[GorgorothVK]

@king4allstars You, sir, have no idea what you are talking about and should refrain from posting comments on the internet altogether.

[vwnutdamo]

Cant remember exactly but from memory its around £30 :)

[sypher2012]

how much?

[Braxdonrose]

I WANT IT!!!!!

[pjCarlo3]

will it blend?

[vwnutdamo]

Easiest way is to hold it tight and move closer to the top magnet. On mine you feel it "click" in midair once its in the right place. Then just gently let go :-)

[SLAQuIcKsCoPezZ]

I just bought one but dont know how to set it up can you help me. :D

[brianlai22]

I'd love to have one of those at home!!!! I might be getting one...their definitely much better than the metal silver framed smaller ones...

[vwnutdamo]

@brianlai22 I love it, it's a great little talking point..
