Suspended Solar Globe Rotates Continuously

Leave it to Hammacher Schlemmer to come up with a deluxe solar globe that rotates. Developed by a team of physicists, photoreceptors inside it gather both sun and incandescent light to power its internal drive. The planet's magnetic field provides the torque to spin it. The globe itself is suspended in a clear acrylic shell in liquid and can rotate 360º in any direction while staying upright. The 8.5" Perpetually Rotating Solar Globe carries a hefty price of $399.99, but it not only turns and displays land and water location, it has 3,5000 place names.
