had the same thought, as mine has stopped. No magnets nearby, but the air bubble has grown since purchase.

Seriously, you put a magnet near such a sensible instrument, that runs on microcurrents, and didn´t think of any incoming-trouble while you did that ??????? Didn´t you know, for example, that your car´s modern spark-plugs are made so, that the mere vicinity to a cellphone cannot disturb their function anymore ??? (which was the case with older spark-plugs, till the first cellphone-owning-drivers started having engine-ignition-break-downs... )

@@joewashington9374f you are not joking, you really should consider reevaluating your life choices rather than being a fool on the internet. If this is in fact the case I would love to see an explanation of the seasons, or how the Earth somehow remains unaffected by any sort of gravitational effect of other planets. How can it be that for one part of the yeah it is summer in the south and winter in the north(of the world, above the equator). Or if it doesn’t move at all(no spin) how it can be nighttime on one side of the planet and not the other. But the main question, if the Earth is flat, where is the edge? If I sailed far enough could I fall off? Where is the cut off? Please do remember your size relative to the Earth, and don’t try to use that as an argument I don’t want to see any “Why don’t we feel the Earth moving” or “why can’t I see the curvature” as you are obviously a tiny spec relative to the size of the planet and are also spinning/moving along with the planet so feel no motion relative to the Earth.

I didn't know that. It could be really useful for my plans! :3

@Kelly Harbeson I just looked at their website and that's what the prices were listed as.

Bit on the expensive side, an missed opportunity to offer a premium flat earth variant 🤣

Was about to look but this comment section is full of people complaining about air bubbles around the 2yr mark, that's a lot of money to waste on a 2yr item

Feb 2024 prices are the same but most are out of stock

I have window seal dollar store seasonal decorations that move with solar panels and cost a few dollars, this thing is a very over priced concept imo

Yea I thought these were just scam adverts but at least now I know they're actually real. It's easy to be cynical with the amount of scams about these days though.

Love this guy!

but the globes are expensive :(

Solar. What explanation is needed?

I had one from over a decade ago and they do stop. It was fun to dissect for magnets, but the oil is something else!

Yeah, he answered every question I had about it.

Where did you get your globe?

It happened to mine too

"Forever" or 2 years, whichever comes first. At that price, the warranty should be for 5 years. They do offer a 40% paid replacement discount.

@@gubigm I'm going to attempt to fix mine. I feel sure it will do it again, but maybe I can get it working for a couple more years. I wish I knew how many globes get this problem. Is it a low percentage, or every single one of them eventually does this? Does the fluid somehow slowly seep out thru the plastic? My bubble is pretty large now. It's about the top half an inch in the 4.5" globe.

Thanks for the heads-up. Was considering purchasing one.

Serious question.... how do the bubbles form...? I'm gonna guess that it's residual air pockets in the components not being thoroughly vacuumed out during the filling and sealing process....so the tiny micro bubbles jus get bigger an bigger till.....BAM, ya end up with a big ass air pocket in 2yrs...?

The magnet might have been aligning itself with steel screws and/or beams under the desktop. To be sure you have to look carefully underneath to make sure you are using the desktop far from the steel framework underneath.

@@qazmatronyou just ruined this man’s whole life😂😂

It actually makes a lot of sense. Think about water and olive oil. Water is more dense than oil, that's because water molecules are much smaller than triglycerides, so you can pack more of them in the same space (Type of intermolecular bond also plays a role). Olive oil is more viscous than water, that's because the longer molecules of the fatty acids entangle with each other forcing you to apply greater force in order to move them. Hope that helps :)

​@@denzelcrocker992 Actually ​I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

There's a really cool clock called the Atmos which is entirely powered by tiny temperature differences in the room and it runs non stop without being wound up

Totally agree! It's super cool.

The bulb with the black and reflective spinning thing is called a Crookes radiometer. 🙂

Cheap PVs are mostly CdTe solar cells which works really fine on room light. Infact modern room lights (mostly LEDs) don't radiate NIR at all, it's spectrum spans mainly from blue to red which has way higher energy than that of NIR.

"could cost a huge fortune" Do you mean it would be too expensive to buy one yourself? Me too, but I doubt it would be out of range for anyone that likes to buy art for their home.

@Kelly Harbeson Yeah. I should have said, that's the minimum you're looking at.

ok, if it weren't for the tail rotor, the body of a helicopter would rotate in the opposite direction to how its propeller does.

How much?

I remember when they were 1000$+

@@ishredder4006 Only a few hundred bucks.

I would buy one at the $400 price tag except that they don't last more than a couple of years before the fluid escapes. I'd want a five year warranty for a desk ornament at that price.

​@@ishredder4006Just checked the website, it's 2-300 dollars depending on the globe (they do all the planets) and a little under 1400 if you buy the whole solar system set. I'm not gonna be getting any, but that's really not a bad price at all.

High precision and tight tolerances are expensive. I would imagine the amount of mass is quite a small amount, probably on a similar scale to a radiometer.

Just went to the website. I now understand your comment.😲😃

@@jaye1967 tight tolerances?

And according to a few posters here they tend to go haywire after a couple years.

I knew just from the detail it would be expensive. Let alone how it works. I will live my life in ignorance of the price.

To put it differently, there are no closed systems. If someone would have one, that would actually be extremly valuable, well, no because nothing would get in or out anyway so its actually totaly worthless. It would be the most valuable, worthless thing.

@Kelly Harbeson yeah, I know, but it would look nice as a background, where after a few hours you would see a different part of the globe. The only problem would be that there would be some parts that you would never see because it would be night (although in those cases I don't know if the globe could still rotate without access to light)

​@@youravghuman5231it would be cloudy, but it wouldn't say. There's no reason to believe it would sink. We couldn't find a fluid for the bottom portion that's the denser than the milk and the top portion that's similar density. And in fact, for the milk we could probably add a little bit of something to bind it to stay as a kind of cloud. Or even find some extremely light effectively solid flat things to float in there as clouds.

lol

😆 you're so funny 😐

A buoyancy nearing would not be practical. It needs too much heavy liquid; heavy liquids can be dangerous (mercury, lead salts in solution); the viscous drag could easily exceed the friction of a roller bearing. A magnetic bearing is a better start.

In this case where to hide the solar panel.

@@guinea_horn Good. Keep on not engaging.

The motor inside would start to spin in the opposite direction faster and faster since you counteract constant friction from the liquid

That will also be what governs the speed, more light making more electrical current will meet more resistance due to friction. Clever really.

@@alasdair4161 Well, drag in fluid flow is governed by: D = 1/2 . p . V^2 . S . Cd . This means that speed is proportional to the square root of torque. Increasing torque will deflect the compass more away from pole alignment, increasing it's reaction torque against the motor torque. So, the there will be a speed increase with more electrical power, but the above formulae means that the velocity increase will be proportional to the square root of the torque (other things being equal), making the increased speed less noticeable than it would be if it were directly proportional. Also, the design of the electric motor, most noticeably it's timing angle will come into play above some RPM & also limit speed increases by nobbling torque.
