My wife bought me a Mova globe 5 years ago. Every morning, I walk into my office, turn on the overhead light and my world slowly begins to spin. Life is very, very good.
The moving "landscape" feels so nostalgic! 20~25 years ago they were pretty trendy and there used to be plenty of those things in street markets, in knickknack shops, etc. And I would absolutely love to get the solar-powered globe, especially a Moon or a Mars version! It's so expensive, though...
I was ahead of my time with that ONO Roller device. 50 years ago as a kid I used to rotate two cow magnets in my hand. I also have the Mars version of the Mova Globe and it's been rotating over five years now.
The infinity cube is much more satisfying once you get the hang of doing it singlehanded. Also, $70 is just the price of the steel ono, they make one out aluminum for half the price, they also have different sizes now.
There are several solid 3D models of them too; with a dialed-in 3d printer and some silicone lubricant you can end up with a really satisfying one for a tiny fraction of that price
The moon is not actually 3D printed. It's a moulded copy of a much more expensive crowdfunded 3D printed moon project. It got massively overproduced and was re-engineered into this product.
im sure there are different copies of this product, but considering there are layer lines and it says "3D printing" on the box, id wager this one is actually 3d printed 😅
I’ve owned an ONO Roller for a year or 2 and it’s pretty satisfying. Unless you have money to blow and you really want the stainless one, just get the regular one! I’ve got the black one; it’s much cheaper, has a sturdy finished metal build, and still has a nice heavy weight to it! It’ll be perfectly great for the vast majority of people!
I love the square sand art displays. I have one that i have had for over 30 years. Unfortunately the liquid inside has dried up. But it always makes the coolest looking landscapes and it is different every time.
The Moving sand art can create incredibly beautiful art but it takes a bit of learning - the bubbles should be broken up into smaller ones, and you get a syringe to suck excess air bubbles out or introduce air depending on how much of it there is. You can also do actual slow-motion with it by simply tilting it a bit to the side, super cool. It's like an infinite art generator, very good investment :)
Those magnetic balls can instantly rek expensive electronic nearby or your debit card. Rekt my own card back in the day with much smaller neodimium balls.
8:28 you can actually do this at home. 1. Take a slim round plastic bottle. 2. Open the cap and let some air out by compressing it from the middle. 3. Close the cap back and voila.
The ratcheting wheel (3rd one) is a ko of the Lautie mechanics ring. If you used the included little wrench you can add/remove the magnets inside to change resistance and noise
Im totally getting the sand art. For only 39 bucks I can see it being the one thing that I'll always "touch" simply because it'll always give you a "different" sand art as it falls in place. I can see my self getting bored with everything else on the list. The globe is another one I would love to have simply to for educational purposes and how cool it is but for $200 its simply too much for its purpose.
5:47 Im industrial designer...and I dont see the wooden base matches with the moon, the material, the color itself is out of context with the moon....if they used a black shinny plastic material, with a rounded surface (imitating the outerspace language) it would be much better....but it looks like a science fair project
I like how this guy built like an Ex Marine, the Camera Angle looking like It's about his past Marine Memories, and those Background music making it a Documentary.
The part where he said the infinity cube does the same thing over and over killed me. like gee its called an INFINITY cube and its a FIDGET toy. Thats literally its job 😂
Have wanted a MOVA globe for years, but I can't justify the price. It's incredibly cool, especially the antique world maps, but at $200+ I just can't see that kind of money for something that is going to sit and get looked at occasionally.
The water & sand sculptures were popular in the 80s. The problem is that after a bit of time, the water evaporates leaving more air behind. You can refill them but it is a tricky balance between getting air out while adding air. Too much in either direction at once and the glass will crack or shatter.
I'd like to recommend Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty. It pre-dates the modern slime phase. There are tons of colors, and it's not wet like slime, more like silly putty. I got a mini version to keep in my purse. It's super nice to continually squeeze, pinch, roll, and pull.
The Ono roller is probably my favorite fidget toy I have at my desk and I have more than I can count. It is so satisfying and totally quiet so it doesn't annoy my wife when she's in the room with me. Also $150 for those tops with that base is not a terrible price, if you are familiar with tops. But yea I feel like with most things it's all going to be very subjective so I don't mean to critique your decisions or anything.
WEPA! Native of Ponce, PR here living/working in Germany! We have the spinner in the office here and co-workers are always competing to see who spins it for longer. We are keeping the score on the whiteboard!
I love my ONO roller in stainless steel, and I also have the silicone one in black. It has to knobies all over it. I love them both, totally worth it to me.
Thanks for the video. I like the sand scapes and the top spinner but they aren't fidgety they're more mesmerizing. Darn. I think the sand scapes would be helpful for small children. Great video.
I have the plastic infinity cube just to keep me awake during raw materials meetings, because I was literally falling asleep While Typing 😅 my coworker also got me this japanese toy where you have to shuffle different coloured balls inside a larger globe into the correctly coloured openings
I watched a video just the other day on building magnetic levitation devices like the moon toy. It requires a bit of logic that adjust the pull of multiple magnets to keep it levitated. In the example I saw, they used 4 electro magnets. So, if you pull the power, you essentially have 4 uncontrolled magnets.
Yes, Earnshaw's theorem proves that standard magnets can't levitate in the air without power. It will never have a stable equilibrium point, so it will always want to jump one way or the other.
I had something called the buddha ball. which was a floating metal ball like the lamp you reviewed. It is a power magnet which floats it so you need to plug it in to float. But it was incredibly difficult to place it so that it floats. Too much trouble really. Then I was worried about the powerful magnet wiping my usb drives or mobile phone so I binned it. I think a powerized magnet is not very safe around other electronics.
You can't have passively free floating items, magnetism doesn't work like that. It's an unstable configuration, akin to balancing a ball on top of a round hill, even tiniest bit off and it falls. The pen works because it is stabilized by the contact point with the base. The globe doesn't, because it doesn't have a contact point, it needs active stabilization. Only superconductors can levitate passively due to Meissner effect which causes a flux pinning effect in type-II superconductors that "freezes" the magnetic field in place, thus opposing the changes to the field.
So you just need a better illusion of being free floating. Do you know the name of the thing in effect with having something held up in the air by cables and tension?
They can make the moon a thousand times better by using a resin printer vs a common filament printer. I loved everything except the moon one, I thought it was too cheaply made and I could just print my own.
Those fidget gadgets can become very costly. Me myself I would recommend a sort of stressball or racquetball, or perhaps an old baseball. I have tried everything but a ball like that is still the cheapest and most enjoyable fidget desktoy. Ye should give it a try.
I really like your desk! Did you build it yourself and if yes, would you make a video about it? Or could you tell me what desk it is and where you bought it? 😄
The idea that you could describe something that looses it's main appealing function if you remove and not displace the one tiny thing stopping you from using its main function, makes it utterly mindboggling it is in the same overall category as fidgets, or anti-anxiety stims...
The best fidget toy for the office is a very loud clicky keycap keychain, there is nothing more entertaining than annoying your colleagues, so you can share your stress with them.
I love the ONO. it was the first fidget thing I purchased. I keep it in the car and it helps me calm my nerves when I encounter bad drivers. Highly recommend it!
"Doesn't do anything" is a remarkably stupid thing to hold against a fidget toy. Oh yeah I find myself playing with it in my hands for hours but it doesn't DO ANYTHING! I would break my cranial bones were I to facepalm as hard as I wanted to.
Ohhh, nice review. I have the Novium Hoverpen and can honestly say it's the worst pen I got when you look at the relative value. Luckily I got it as a parting gift for a project I did but I can honestly say this pen is 2 thumbs down. It's underwhelming. I could design my own pen that's both cooler and works better. But I have better stuff to do. If you want to spend some money on a cool magnetic toy, look for a Mendocino Motor.

Cheaper in the long term than getting the same effect from a bottle of jack.

The globe is the one thing I could consider....if it was about $40.00.
I’d have the solar system if they were $40
It's supposed to be an eyeball 😅
The earth is flat.

Stainless is the highest quality and smoothest one tho

they make it in plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, silicone, and titanium. prices go between 25 for plastic.... all the way to 120 for the titanium

That's really interesting!
Receptionists for doctors always had floaty pens on their desks in the 90s (in Sydney). Branded freebies from one pharma co or another.
not only them, it was a very common item. without cap needed but upright standing not tilted to the side. as a child i got one as well.

Why do you do anything
For that spin top toy thing, you should have played the Inception music.
WEPA! Native of Ponce, PR here living/working in Germany! We have the spinner in the office here and co-workers are always competing to see who spins it for longer. We are keeping the score on the whiteboard!
The Ono roller can also be used to massage your hands and arms to relieve stress, maybe that's also why it costs so much, it's a very good use
I masturbate..It is good for my hands, it relieves stress and it doesn’t cost a copper coin
I love my ONO roller in stainless steel, and I also have the silicone one in black. It has to knobies all over it. I love them both, totally worth it to me.
My dad is into those desk tops, he's got the top from inception in a bunch of different materials
Thanks for the video. I like the sand scapes and the top spinner but they aren't fidgety they're more mesmerizing. Darn. I think the sand scapes would be helpful for small children. Great video.
Appreciate the homage to Office Space with the 13th item in the description!
that pen takes D1 refills and comes with a basic Schmidtt, you can replace that with a Monteverde insert

That's not how any of that works.
nah dude, my hands were SWEATING from how badly I wanted to use the ono just from looking at it
I wonder if you can get different writing guts for the hoverpen. That might make it amazing if you can choose the ink and mechanism.
The lawyer assistant part was hilarious 😂

If the top does not stop spinning means you are watching this video in a dream.
