Review: Solar levitation model is fascinating and never stops! - This levitation model came completely assembled and, upon removal from box, began spinning immediately using only the light in the room without the sun. Based upon the opinion of another reviewer, I decided to place it in a well-lighted, dust-free environment. Therefore, I put it between some crystal goblets on the top shelf in my china cabinet. This is a closed environment and I run the lights day and night. This "gadget" has been spinning continuously ever since I placed it there over ten weeks ago. This has literally become a conversation piece for many guests in my home who see it in my dining room. I love it!
Review: AWESOME product!!! - There are a few things that are confusing about this company and product. First, I want to make it clear that this item is manufactured in China. Some of what is put in the ad could lead someone to believe that this was made in the USA but, that is definitely not the case so, if you are sensitive about where it is made, just understand that it is clearly labeled "Made in China" on the box it is packaged in. Also, some reviews have commented that it doesn't come with a manual but, the one I got did...well kind of. It came with one sheet of typed print that gives some suggestions and pointers on how to use it. It is pretty obvious that whomever created this "manual" did not have the benefit of proof reader to check the final version because, it is really difficult to understand their translation of what they were trying to say. All that being said, It got to me VERY quickly, in perfect condition and very carefully packaged and protected. It was even wrapped in aluminum foil, I suspect to function as a Faraday cage to protect the electronics within. That is something I have never seen before but, if that was their intention, I am impressed with the fact that they took that precaution. If you are looking for something that will excite and entertain you with lots of action, you may be disappointed with this device. If, on the other hand, you are looking for something that is well designed and elegantly displays some amazing laws of physics, this will not only please you but, it will also make you happy to share with others and to watch it function. I have not included any videos or pics because there are already plenty of those here. Suffice it to say that it came right our of the box, meticulous wrapping and just started working perfectly!!! It is precisely balanced and regardless of some complaints I have seen posted about having gotten units that were out of balance, this one spins smoothly and with stability at all speeds and in all forms of light. Just FYI, it seems to function best if the light source is coming from the side of the unit, at a 90 degree angle to the solar collector (Armature or, spinning part). Another thing I have discovered that I have not seen mentioned in other reviews. If you place it in such a manner that the light IS coming from one side of the armature, it will rotate towards the light source. If while it is spinning, you carefully turn the unit around 180 degrees from the light source, it will slow and reverse direction to once again rotate towards the light. It will spin fast enough in direct sunlight to be totally a blur. With lesser light sources, like facing a window just before the sun comes up or, just after it goes down or, from an electric light, it will spin consistently but slowly, still fun to watch and be amazed at. If the light source is or gets too dim, it will eventually slow and stop spinning. IF YOU ARE EVEN SLIGHTLY INTERESTED IN SCIENCE, THE LAWS OF PHYSICS THAT CONTROL OUR UNIVERSE OR, IF YOU ARE A TEACHER…THIS DEVICE IS FOR YOU. I would buy it again in a heartbeat and in fact, I plan to order several more of these to send to friends and family as Christmas gifts. This is something just about anyone would love to own and watch.

## Features

- EASY OPERATION ----No Manual at all. Set the rotor to the board, Levitating success on the model, set the model 45degree direction under the light resource. Give the rotor a gently push, it will run smooth.
- HIGH-TECH ORNAMENT THAT COMBINES THE MAGNETIC AND ELECTRIC FIELD ----The Mendocino Motor is a magnetically levitated, solar powered electric motor. The motor consists of a spinning shaft that is held up by repelling magnets, stabilized by resting a point against a wall. It is powered by solar panels mounted on the spinning shaft, which generate currents through coils of insulated wire, and rotation.
- ENTERTAINING---- The motor rotor can rotate under weak light source. If the light stronger, the rotor rotating speed will be faster. The solar panels which equipped on the rotor convert sunlight to power and drive the model run freely.
- PRIORITY GIFT OPTION FOR MANY APPLICATIONS----It is an amazing and fantastic product at this price. Its elegant gift package makes it spruce up and presentable. It has a wide range of application as, great gift for Kids' science project, Physical/mechanical learning, teacher’s Demo props on the class, birthday gift for friends, families, parents, kids, etc. Many of our customers come from school, colleague, etc.
- AMAZING CONVERSATION PIECES ON YOUR DESK ----Decorative and impressive, it's proven to be a conversation starter to impress your visitors. It’s a cool piece of art even just stands on your desk.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Engaging and frustrating for sure!
*by A***R on March 6, 2019*

Amazing, trippy, inconsistent, useless? Definitely. Hah! I got it going on a 3 watt led gooseneck lamp but the placement of the Lamp is oh so vital. Turns out half(at least) of the fidget value is reeped from these adjustments! With abundant lighting it will ramp up and eventually fly right off the base and launch respectable distance.. This is fun as well, turns out although I'm sure this doesn't help with the balance. Spinning on the window sill the other day with added resistance from plant leaf caused one of the best spinning events yet and was rediculously fast for 45 min before another significant launch! Very entertaining and sturdy overall happy
