Highly rated by our customers!
  Read what they have to say.

This is not a trick! The globe is not hanging from an invisible thread. It is actually suspended by an impressive electronically controlled magnetic system.

The magnetic head above the globe contains an electro magnet and a magnetic field sensor, and the frame base accommodates the micro-processor and the electronic control components.

The magnetic field sensor records the magnetic field generated by permanent magnets in the globe sphere, and transmits this to the computer. The computer evaluates this data 16,000 times a second and controls the electronic magnets accordingly, accurately moving the globe sphere upwards or downwards.

An additional, permanent magnet in the base holds the sphere safely on the frame when the suspension mechanism is switched off.

This is a superb product, with a heavyweight steel frame and high quality globe - comparable to floating globes retailing for three times as much!

Features:

  • 10cm diameter floating globe
  • Mains power adaptor is included

Bought this as a present for a friend who had always wanted a globe - he was amazed by the fact that it floated! Proves a constant source of conversation for visitors!

  • Not floating??? ( Magnetic Floating Globe (10cm diameter) review )
  • Rated 2 Star Rating by MikeDeegan at gmail.com from Ireland
Ive thrown out the instructions before looking at them. stupid. My globe doesnt float!!! there are no switches or anything that i can see anyway. the magnets work i think but maybe not as they should - or do i have to charge it for several days or something. it looks great. thats why i gave it the 2 stars. if it was working i would give it 5. mike
