Globus

Globus

At Ugears, we want to give more with every model we invent. With this model, Ugears gives you – quite literally – the world. Presenting the Globus, your own world of mechanical marvels. The Globus 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. 

The main module of the model comprises two parts: the globe and the platform with the mechanism. The sphere of the globe sits on an axle inclined along the same angle as the axis of the Earth. 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 Globus today, and set it on a 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.
