Q: if you spin it while its floating, approx, how long will it spin?
A: We can't accurately say how long the globe will spin. However, because the only force slowing down the spin is air friction, you are assured of a very long spin.

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is it safe to put that thing near a computer monitor? I know that magnets can cause discoloration in displays and I've got a spot on my desk that would be perfect for this thing.
A: We had one sitting about 12 inches from a monitor for several days and there were no problems. We don't recommend getting much closer than that, however. If you were to experience a problem caused by magnets, many monitors have a DeGaussing function designed to fix the issue. LCD or Flat Panel monitors are not affected by the magnets at all.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: What material is the globe made out of?
A: The globe is made out of plastic.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: WE'RE EXPLODING MARS?!?!
A: Yeah, we're not sure about that whole "exploding Mars" thing.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Are you planning on developing other floating globes, like Mars for instance? I think it would be a good seller now that we're currently exploding that planet as we speak.
A: Earth is the only floating planet available at Vat19 (hence the name Levitating Globe), but other planets would be pretty neat. You could have the entire solar system floating on your desk!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can you Show mathematically how the magnetic fields cancel in the center of the globe? Preferably by Amperes or Gauss’s law?
A: Vat19 is in the business of selling curiously awesome gifts, not doing your homework. We hope you can understand.

A: Thanks for the feedback.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: is this something that should be unplugged at the end of the day so it wont wear out or can you leave it plugged in 24 hours a day...
A: While it's probably best to unplug any electronics at the end of the day (to save on electricity and product lifespan), this product is no more likely to wear out than any other electronic item. You shouldn't have any problems leaving it plugged in 24 hours a day.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: when we lift all the product, we actually lift the weight of the 'stand only' or the weight of the globe and the stand?
A: If you attempt to lift the stand while the globe is floating, you will most likely cause the globe to fall.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: The globe seems to spin indefinitely. Is this due to lack of friction, or do the magnets apply some torque to the globe to keep it going?
A: The Levitating Globe will eventually slow down. To the best of our knowledge, the magnets are not applying any force to keep the globe spinning. The lack of friction is what allows a small spinning force to keep the globe moving for long periods of time.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: What Voltage do i use to power it if i loose the cord
A: The magnetic levitating globe uses an 18v 300mA cord.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: I don't know if we have your exact product, but when we remove the stick to separate the top magnet and the globe it doesn't float, but sticks to the top. How do I fix this?
A: The manufacturer said to try getting the globe to float without using the spacer, as some people can get it to float much easier without it. Don't let it stick to the top magnet and gradually adjust the distance between the globe and the top magnet until you feel that magnetic "sweet spot".
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: can I get 2 equally powerful magnets and position them on the top and bottom and levitate something that way?
A: We suppose you could try, but it'd probably be very difficult. The Levitating Globe's base and globe were made specifically to perform this function, which is why it instantly works so well!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: will this product help further my plans for world domination?
A: Hmm, that would depend on how good your plans are, but it couldn't hurt!

Q: Hi, I this a current world map?
A: Based on what we can see, it appears to be current.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: How do you you get the globe to float instead of sticking to the top or bottom of the globe? Ist there a trick to this?
A: Getting the magnetic levitating globe to float can be a little tricky at first. If you look inside the instruction manual, you'll find a couple of paper guides that can help you position it until you get the hang of it.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No
