gravitator
Hey Everyone....
A friend of mine sent me a "Galileo Gravitator" from the US and its a real nice addition to my astronomy shelf at home, it comes with the 110V power supply but a quick trip to Dick Smith sorted that out, its really amazing....
For those who dont know what it is, its a cage that comes with spheres of planets and you turn this thing on, put a planet in the cage and use a knob to adjust a magnetic field and it floats in mid air.....
I havent seen anything like it, but seen it advertised in American Astronomy magazines and always wanted one but no retail outlets sell them here, not that im aware of.....it has a 12V DC input of 200mA and a 240V regulated power supply adaptor from the "Dick S" sorted the 110V one out.....
It comes with Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn planet spheres and the Saturn one really looks the best!
How many of you out there have one??
Cheers!
