We present Globus, a stylized model of the Earth with 2 sets of decorative continents, a rotating mechanism and puzzling additions to make the whole thing even more interesting.
Globe is a model easy to assemble without glue and also very interesting to watch in motion. The unique mechanism along with the original design make the globe an ingenious gift and a unique decoration for your home or office.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The main module of the model consists of 2 elements: the globe and the platform that supports it. The globe is set on an axis inclined at the same angle as the Earth's axis. Like other Ugear models, the Globe moves by means of a rubber mechanism. Pulling the lever in the platform to the right will set the entire mechanism in motion. When you let go of the lever, the gears start working. If you want the rotation to be slower you can move the globe manually to watch the free movement of the continents.
An addition to the main module are 2 interchangeable elements - an airplane and a satellite, which can be connected to the globe with a planetary gear system. These additional elements move almost twice as fast as the Globe itself, and make two rotations around the planetary axis with a single pull of a lever.
