The globe is covered by three US patents and the disclosures show how it works. It is powered by photocells and it contains a bar magnet that aligns with the earth's magnetic field and a motor that rotates the bar magnet. Since the magnet stays aligned, the rotational energy is transferred to the enclosing globe. |

If they were magnets and oriented themselves to the poles, the globe would stop spinning once it oriented itself. I'm guessing that's not the case... |

@lionhart.if he was a witch he'd weigh the same as a duck. as witches float and so do ducks. hence witches are the same weight as ducks. and if you do not believe me then i shall have to use my largest scales ;) |

@ iamboredtooo, yup your right. i had a toy eye that was like that when i was a kid. you always look at you. kinda creepy.and the whole sun thing is fake, its just the left over momentum thats making the inside rotate. |

so its a globe inside a slightly larger transparent sphere...with water filling the gap...was it really that simple or was it supposed to be ironically funny that it was that simple? |

Yea exactly... It's the "rotates rotates when exposed to light" part that has me interested. |

Yes, the staying upright part is probably a fairly ordinary concept (though ragefrk1, who claims to have first-hand experience, says that it is not). But people seem to be missing the solar-powered rotation part. |
