This Earth globe kugel ball displays the Earth with major areas of population illustrated by lights as well as the ability of a small amount of water using surface tension to move heavy objects. The old Mile High Stadium in Denver used this same principle to move the stand from a baseball field to a foot ball field (

Because Boulder has cold winters, the water is turned off to protect the apparatus from cracking due to freezes. Visit (
