Five unusual globes

In addition to the topic about the "flying" globe, I found 5 of the most unusual ("flying" is one of them, but I think, sorry for repeating).

So, globes are usually pretty trite. Fortunately, the outlines of the continents on our planet are relatively constant, so the globes are quite similar to each other. Still, designers manage to differ here.


I apologize for the photo from another site. Pictures that previously flooded retired.

1. The giant globe
image
Globe Magnum 111 Globe. There is nothing especially in it, except for its immodest size - as much as 45 inches in diameter. With the size of our planet, he still does not suffer, but with human growth is quite comparable. The map is highly detailed and glued to the globe manually, the production of one copy takes forty hours. And the price is rather big - 12 thousand dollars.

2. Cognitive globe

Of course, any globe is informative, that is its purpose. But this copy,
Planet Erde Globe from Columbus, will allow you to get acquainted not only with the geography of our planet, but also to understand how the Earth rotates around its axis and how - around the sun, how night passes through our planet and much more.

3. Stylish globe

An example of how the sacrifice of beauty is visibility. Designers - Jakob Wagner and Louise Christ Frederiksen. The globe lost its usual bright colors, meaning water, sand, mountains, forests, and became silver, which, however, does not prevent us from identifying our planet in it. But to the "rod", which is attached to the wall, it is attached by a magnet. So, you can detach it and turn it in your hands like a ball, and then attach it with the end that you like best. With the usual globe, such a focus will not work. And do not shake an ordinary globe on a string, like a kitten with its paw.

4. The globe that leads a double life
image
At first glance, this is something exactly completely banal, an ordinary globe, which is full of shops. But it is not so! Once you turn off the light, the photocell detects the darkness and turns on the LED backlighting depicting constellations. Not only the points of the stars, but also the connecting lines. Not too realistic, but incredibly beautiful!

5. Prototype antigravity globe *
* -Already known for this habratopiku .

Globes have never looked so solid.
In a nutshell: a magnet is placed in a very light globe itself, this construction is neatly placed on a heavy base, it must be understood, too, with a magnet inside, and the globe is held on a magnetic field that electronics adjusts.
