I just got one, it's pretty great for the office. :-D I was frustrated at first trying to get it to balance, but I had it unplugged. As soon as I plugged it in and tried it again, I got it to float right away.
We've had ours for a while. It came with a little black plastic 4 inch long, thin stick and you just put it between top and globe, it will begin to levitate. You could probably use something like an icecream stick. But, I don't know if it needs to be plastic for some reason - I would think not. But, it only takes one time to start it levitating using this. FYI
Had one for many years. I guess the coil of the electromagnet finally burned out because one day it just stopped working. Anyway, the best way to get it spinning is to take a straw and blow gently through it along the equator. That way you can get it up to a very high speed if you want to. (Even the speed that flat earthers think the world is spinning at.) Need to get myself a new one. :O)
@@ianhargrove6079 I kept mine on all the time, and it lasted for many years. I guess I would still have it if I had turned it off when I was away or sleeping. :O)
Mine came with a power plug that has a knob with a voltage changing knob. What is the correct setting to keep it from getting stuck to the top bracket? I thank you for the help this video gave me. Finding the sweet spot is my trouble with this product. Thanks again
Good review.. I think it looks spot on.. might buy it as a stocking filler for Christmas.. not sure if the plastics are very cheap?.. don't want it to seem I got it from the looky lucky man
This certainly is one of the better types....would be perfect if it had a tilted spin...."Spinning"..what is a "fair amount of time" ? 20 minutes ?...that seems somewhat useless.. The reason it took two months was obviously a costoms backlog in checking all these thousands of boxes for drugs....
Yes it will, since it's running on electricity. You'll probably not notice it though. These things uses very little power. Hook it up to an electricity consumption meter and you'll see how much it uses. (Amazon sells them for less than $10.)
Comments tend to tell you more about the commenters, than they do about their target, Ben.... be they negative or positive. However.. for what it’s worth, this demo suited me fine. The globe was suspended and spinning(direction?... who cares?!!) within minutes of my finding your review. Nice one... thanks. 😆👍 P.S... left to its own devices, it does one turn in each direction, alternately.
I would make a blower from a small computer fan and a funnel, running it at low voltage and piping the air through a silicone tube that I glue to the back of the stand and direct the airflow to one side of the globe. That would make it spin slowly. :O)
how fragile is the globe, im interested in getting one of these but seeing th eglobe latching on the magnet and making that bump sound has me worried it will eventually crack or something
Been trying for hours to float this and failed every time (Hundreds). Watched dozens of youtube videos showing how to do it but none work. Three different people have tried. I must have a Dud.
How long it will rotate depends on how fast you originally were able to spin it. The problem is that if you try to spin it too fast the globe will likely wobble and then pop upwards towards the magnet. With a normal spin, I manage to get it to rotate about 30 minutes or more in one direction. It slows down to a point where it stops, then I notice it seems to slowly go in the opposite direction for a bit, then back/forth again a couple of times until full stop (about an hour total of movement).
I bought one from What on Earth catalog for $40 and it didn't work so they sent another. This one did the same thing; it levitated for a few seconds and immediately went to the top. I tried several times to great frustration.Any suggestions?
The north pole said Ouch!

How is power consumption, and does it overheat?
Great review Ben. Thinking about getting this for my dad for Christmas

Yeah it's only $25 and if the magnet last for 3+ years. I'd be ok buying a new one occasionally
So would it be cool to leave it plugged up or turn it off when u go to bed
Yea I was blowing it that does work

@@royeb63 🙏 thank you so much for your reply bud ima leave minds on to it’s just cooler that way to me when it dies il prob get another one
It’s supposed to come with this “white block” to make finding the “sweet spot” much easier. Did yours not come with one?
Excellent video
The first thing that comes to my mind; flat earthers. Lol
The packaging should have had a spacer you use to get the globe floating no need to have frustrution!
Ding ding ding ding ding, we have a winner!
I prefer the c shape moon lamp. Looks just like this but it a moon, might pick this up too
If a floor magnet globe was available it would be cool
3:49 You can verry, verry I mean verry gently rrrrrrub it with your finger 😏
We need more videos like these mr. Ben!!
Then you get it going... or coming?
I watched it
Thank you this review is very helpful 😊..got me all set up🎉
Thank you ! I got one today and didn't know how to make it work !
i have a friend who i think would really enjoy this little nicknack. thank you so much for this review!
a little plastic comes with it which helps you to get the globe floating in a second.
Need one for the death star and the color slowly changes
How far away from laptops and phones must it be kept so the magnet doesn't interfere with those devices.
3 mm at least
@@djidroneadventures4059 I would go with about 2.5 kilometers, just to be safe.
I don't like the colors,but this design is absolutely awesome!
I honestly think the colors go nice with the theme of floating futuristic themes but I do agree they could have chosen some better colors
Thanks for the review good job bought one for my dad on his birthday
Good review despite your globe is rotating in the wrong direction.
Thats pretty cool. I want to buy one but does anyone know if this take alot energy? People who bought turn it off or always leave on?
Don't think something like this would take a lot of electricity
Can you help me with something? If you shake a little or move 90° the C, does the globe falls off?
Mine came with a power plug that has a knob with a voltage changing knob. What is the correct setting to keep it from getting stuck to the top bracket? I thank you for the help this video gave me. Finding the sweet spot is my trouble with this product. Thanks again
Looks pretty badass. Ordering as a birthday present.
Nice review, thanks! Very thorough :-)
Good review..

Hello idol.. i really appreciate your nice and amazing video.. full support
This certainly is one of the better types....would be perfect if it had a tilted spin...."Spinning"..what is a "fair amount of time" ?
20 minutes ?...that seems somewhat useless..
The reason it took two months was obviously a costoms backlog in checking all these thousands of boxes for drugs....
Does it continuesly spin?
If you take the plastic piece it came with and put it between the globe and top . Then slide it out ,the globe will stay in place .
Thanks for posting - I learned heaps :)
Just got one, now I have 3 globes and was given them all lol 😂
Shouldn't it be spinning in the other direction?
what happens if you lose power?
At 4m20s in the video I show what happens when the power is pulled. The globe stops levitating, moves upward and sticks to the top of the bracket.
The world will end
Ryan White lol
Lolllll....
Ryan White lmao
I have one but mine has a tool to slowly put it up, you put the tool in then take it out.
Thanks for your video.
What's type of the hall magnetic effect sensor ??
I need to the Tag number ❤
cool stuff...thanks for the video
Thanks for the review. So accurate.
I notice that the Sun rises in California and Sets in New York. Any chance it spins the correct way?
Great Christmas present for flatards!!
will it make a difference to my electricity bill if i leave it on 24 hours?
I think so
Yes it will, since it's running on electricity.
You'll probably not notice it though.
These things uses very little power.
Hook it up to an electricity consumption meter and you'll see how much it uses. (Amazon sells them for less than $10.)
the very fact you plug it in with a tiny adapter should tell you it won't use much electricity.
It's rotating the WRONG way
Nah america first
@@Barnaby_bo boooooouh
And at a wrong tilt.
@@tempname8263 The tilt will change with the season.
Barnaby Bourbon 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
how big is it?
dimension please, can we get in the size of a football?
I saw a lot of different colors for this lamb, I want this one exactly. What do I type to find this specific color?
Thanks for the video. Does it make any noise (even very quiet noise, like low hiss or anything)?
I put my ear next to the bracket and also the plug transformer and did not hear any small noises.
Ben Koorengevel Thank you very much!

Hey man, may I know how long is the wire?
Great video!
Does it magnet rotors make any noise? Can you turn off the LED light?
It makes a very quiet noise ( only hear it when your right next to it) And you can not turn on the LED light
Love it. Any trick to keep it spinning,
I would make a blower from a small computer fan and a funnel, running it at low voltage and piping the air through a silicone tube that I glue to the back of the stand and direct the airflow to one side of the globe. That would make it spin slowly. :O)

I got one for my birthday I love it 😍
Really?
Does include South Sudan
Got one today and love it 😍
That’s the discovery logo!
Very useful review. Thanks
Good review, i just ordered one. 👌🏻

RamsFan Same as me I’ve had mine for 3 years and not once has it floated after many many tines
Mine keeps bouncing up and down and doesnt stay still any clues how to fix that?
Wanna ask, is it ok to let it on all the time 24/7?
Thank you so much for your video
Mine if power turned off the globe falls down why ?
If only it was on the correct tilt or any tilt would be more accurate
i have one of these my self. At first I found it very easy to make the globe levitate but now it just sticks to the top have I broken it ?
same
Definitely buying one
Great review
that's incredibly cool
Can you turn the lights off?
Is it safe for long term use, concerning cancer?
Christian Schuyler Scott kek
lol
Don't use it around people with a pacemaker
Would it be possible to paint the globe? Or would the paint layer be to heavy and disturb the balance?
U might cause a tsunami for the people of that earth
Yeah mine's coming after my birthday Will be 11
Im checking on it after seeing add and add like always lie. It’s basically cheap crap . Not a thing add was showing . Thanks for review.
Thank you .
It looks like the discovery uk channel profile picture
any idea of what type of metal the globe is made of? seems light
Iron
how long it will keep rotating ....I mean ,,,there is an air friction ,,just curious

How was it
My cat and I think this is cool....
But Cheety might also think it's a cat toy😸.....lolol
Kill cheeky
should i get one?
Cool
Are these for kids or adults
Where can i found a DIY???
Thanks, found one for about $17.
May I know where.
@@AllenHanPR aliexpress
Nice review! :)
Great vid
I have a blue one from JOWHOL
I have one! And I love it
Amazing.
At the beginning the rotation is going the wrong way...other than that this is still really

What's the price?
Excellent,im getting one
Wow
