Globe

The Globе is a stylized model of Earth with a set of decorative continents, a rotating mechanism, and curious little extras that make the model even more interesting. All details are of high-quality plywood and pre-cut with a precise laser.

The main module of the model is comprised of two parts: the globe and the platform with the mechanism.  A lever in the base pulled once clock-wise all the way willfully wind-up the mechanism. As soon as the lever is released, the gears begin their work. To slow down the spinning of the Earth sphere, the Globе employs a pendulum reduction mechanism. But if you want it to rotate even slower, you can manually turn the Globе and watch the continents float slowly by.

In addition to the main module, the model comes with two interchangeable extra-modules: the Shuttle and the Sputnik. Choose which satellite you want to circle your Globе today, and set it on special support. The satellites are also powered by the rubber-band motor and connect to the main module via the planetary gearing. Due to this connection, the satellites rotate almost twice as fast as the globe and make almost two full spins in one pull of a winding lever.
