Meet Fingerbirgit—the unnecessarily awesome machine that spins a globe with the precision of a Swiss watch! This mechanical marvel can be powered by your own heroic cranking efforts or via a gravity battery that keeps it going for 5-6 minutes—just long enough to impress your friends or confuse your cat. Its five arms move in perfect harmony, controlled by CAM tracks that stagger their motion like a well-rehearsed robot dance troupe.
It’s part art, part engineering, and 100% the most fun you’ll ever have watching a globe turn.
