- Welcome back to What's Inside.
I'm Lincoln and this is Dan, and today it is Earth Day
which is April 22.
- We have this globe.
This is a levitating globe.
You've seen the title, you've probably seen the thumbnail,
this is the 48th year of Earth Day.
Earth Day started in 1970, and-
- Is that when the Earth had started having problems?
- Erm ...
(tragic music)
That's a good question.
In 1969, there was an oil spill in California.
Based off of that,
world leaders came together and created Earth Day.
Now it's recognized in countries all over the world.
So we thought that it would be appropriate
to take a look at What's Inside
the magnetic levitating globe
and in fact today I'm heading to Puerto Rico
to go look at the ocean and to see the types of plastic
that are floating inside of the ocean.
I'm excited to see if this thing works.
Let's take this thing out.
- I'm interested to see how it levitates
and if it's like the levitating speaker
and the levitating light bulb.
- [Dan] Thinking if we just cut it, like right along there.
- Whoa!
From what we've seen so far
I'm guessing it would be the same
but I like things that levitate.
- I mean, let me just tell you what it says on the box.
Close your eyes.
Try to imagine a globe suspending in the air
and how magical and charming it could be.
(giggles)
By correct operations below
the globe could overcome Earth gravity
and levitate in the air.
Oh, there's the Earth, I see the Earth!
- It's blue!
- [Dan] Oh, there's the Earth, I see the Earth!
- [Lincoln] It's blue!
Whoa, that's the correct Earth.
- It is to scale.
Wait, wait, wait, I thought the Earth was flat.
Instructions, who needs that?
This little platform and that's What's Inside the box.
We have a plug to plug this thing in.
I like that Earth.
- [Both] Whoa!
- There's the magnet, oh, the Earth has a magnetic pull.
Watch this, alright?
(laughs)
- Like a majorly lop sided basketball.
- Oh, I've got a hatchet between my legs.
Let's move that.
- That's hard to catch!
- I know it's tricky.
- It's just tricky
because you don't know where it's going to go
because it just keeps going up and down.
- Which country shall we smash up?
- Whichever country has made the most pollution.
So China.
- Sheesh.
We're going to beep that out
so you don't know what Lincoln said.
- China.
- I don't know if that's accurate, what he said,
and please don't come attack us
whatever country we just said.
- China.
- Lincoln is not making friends right now,
he's making enemies.
We've got to get it levitating.
Levitating, levitating, whoa.
Blue fancy lights on there.
So we've got the Earth.
- That was easy.
- Oh, you are a pro.
- That was easy, look.
- Oh, no!
Put it down there and it can levitate.
- I did it first time, okay, you got to give me some credit.
- Okay, it's Hurricane Lincoln, or Typhoon Lincoln
depending on which side of the world you're on.
This is Earth Day, be respectful to the Earth.
How many times does the world spin around in a year,
like fully around.
See how it's spinning right now?
How many times?
(thinking music)
- 29.5, no no no no.
- How about in a day,
how many times does the world spin around?
- 24?
- 24 times?
- Yeah. (laughs)
- Let us know in the comments below
what the right answer is.
Every day, how many times does the world spin around?
- Two? Is that right?
(laughs)
- I've failed as a father.
- Why?
- One time, that's how much the world spins.
The sun goes down and the sun comes up,
it's because the world spins around once.
That's a day, 365 days in a year,
that's how many times it spins.
- Oh, didn't learn that in school.
I don't learn those kinds of things in schools.
- Okay, how many times
does the Earth go around the Sun in a year?
- 329.5?
- How many times does it do this in a year?
- 29.5.
- Why do you keep repeating that as the same answer?
- Because I know it's something related to the Earth.
- The Earth goes around the Sun one time in a year,
that's what makes it a year.
- Oh, okay.
- Rather than go with Lincoln's idea
of hitting one country that he thinks pollutes the most,
I think the idea is we spin it and it's like roulette.
I think we just hit and we see what place we hit.
- Okay, I'm going to take cover.
- Where is it gonna- oh!
Duh!
Wherever we hit, sorry.
No offense to the beautiful people
of South America and Brazil.
- Oh, how could you?
- We got Manaus, Brazil.
Oh, my best buddy Jeff went and lived there for a long time,
in Manaus in the Amazonas.
The stuff is moving around inside of it now.
(rattles)
Just got to give it a little hit
just right around the equator.
Then it-
- Whoa!
- It's like Thor's Hammer!
- Oh, it's blue.
- Here's the inside of this part of it.
We've got some coils, a little sensor,
the metal, the metal that goes on the magnet.
This is the inside of the Northern Hemisphere.
We plug it in and can we get it to levitate?
Oh, it's pulling hard on the Earth's gravity.
You can see it how levitat-
Waah!
Now we need to see What's Inside of this,
yes we know it's a metal magnet on top
with little lights on here.
- There must be one down there too.
- So there must be like the other side of the magnet
right in here somehow.
We need screwdrivers.
- No, we don't use those.
- Two screwdrivers, right there,
there's two little screwdrivers.
- Sometimes we do.
- Oh yeah, whoa, this is cool, there's the lights.
- It looks like the other one a lot,
there's a lot of cords and this coil.
- Argh!
Humans do a lot of things to put things in the ocean
and there are some things that we can do
to make sure the Earth is beautiful
for those people three or four or five generations
after we're on this planet.
So super interesting,
that's What's Inside of a levitating globe.
If you'd like to get one of these,
I think we bought it on Amazon,
we'll put a link in the description
if that's where we got it from.
- Bye!
