Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fascinations Levitron Stellanova Globe (4" Blue and Blue Base)
Customer Review: real fascination
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this globe in a restaurant in Japan. I searched for one and found it in a store in Japan for double the price! I just got it today and have had so many comments and people wanting to know how to get one. You have to give it a nudge to keep turning every 5 to 15 minutes. The only part I don't like is that they should have put a on/off switch to shut off instead of having to unplug it everytime.
Description of Fascinations Levitron Stellanova Globe (4" Blue and Blue Base)
Levitation Is No Longer The Sole Domain Of Yogis Or Magicians! These electromagnetic suspended globes are actually high-tech instruments. A magnetic field sensor continually measures the height at which the globes are suspended. This sensor feeds that data into a micro computer in the base of the unit. This computer then calibrates the electronic magnets at the top of the frame based on the distance between the globes and the top magnet to keep the globes correctly positioned. All in the blink of an eye! So not only do these look great on your desktop levitating in thin air, they are also technology marvels! When you initially get your globe and plug it in, it may take you a few minutes to correctly position the globe in between the base and top magnets. You'll figure it out quickly enough and before you know it, you'll be able to set it up in just a few seconds every time. Once it's levitating, you can even spin it slightly and watch the globes rotate for extend periods of time. Just like the real thing, except you get to control gravity ;) Your choice of either a 4" or 8" diameter globe. The 4" model (8 inches tall including frame) features an attractive brushed metal silver frame. The 8" globe (14.5 inches tall including frame) comes with a chrome finished frame with a black and multi-colored globe. The level of detail on the 8" globe is greater than that of the 4". Each comes with a power supply (US, 120V only).Kitchen and Housewares
