About Snyearth Orasan sa Kalibutan

Ang Snyearth usa ka orasan sa kalibutan nga nagpakita sa oras sa mga siyudad diha sa naglutaw nga globo. Ang usa ka hikap sa lokasyon sa siyudad magpakita sa lokal nga oras niana nga siyudad sa tray sa ubos. Kung duha o daghan pa nga mga siyudad ang mapili, ang kalainan sa oras tali kanila awtomatikong mapakita. Ang usa ka halos-transparent nga singsing nga bintana nga adunay full-color nga LED nga suga nagpasalamin sa mga kolor sa langit sa matag time zone. Sulod sa globo, ang usa ka direksyonal nga tinubdan sa suga nagsundog sa pag-ilis sa adlaw ug gabii. Ang paglutaw makab-ot pinaagi sa permanenteng mga magnet, electromagnet, ug Hall sensors.

Unique Properties: Snyearth provides a new way of displaying world time. User can intuitively observe the current time of any city in the world. As time goes by, the colorful time wheel reflects the light and shadow of the sky at the current moment,Meanwhile, the lights inside the globe simulate the alternation of day and night. When in use, Snyearth only needs a simple touch to display the accurate local time of the selected city.
Dimensions & Packaging: Dimension: 200mm x 200mm x 150mm
Battery capacity: 4000mAh
Power supply mode: USB type-c
Input: 5V / 2000mA
Tags: World clocks, Home electronics, Smart products, Maglev, Lamps
Production Technology: The gravitational force is provided by permanent magnets, while the repulsive force generated by the electromagnets in the base is controlled precisely and in real-time using three axial Hall sensors to achieve stability of the levitating part in all directions.
Full-color LED lights are placed at the right place under the translucent ring window to achieve a colorful and natural transition display effect, and a directional rotating light source is used inside the globe to ensure a realistic simulation of the earth's day and night effect.
Design Challenge: The biggest problem encountered in the design process of this project is the internal structure design. Due to the use of maglev technology, the internal components must be arranged in a reasonable position to avoid electromagnetic disturbance, and also need to keep the shape as compact and simple as possible, so several iterations of the structure arrangement were made during the design process to complete the existing structure scheme.
Research: Firstly summarized and analyzed the existing world clocks, and found that the existing world clocks are in a single form, and it is difficult to read the time. The product iteration was carried out through the double diamond model. Last, a control experiment was conducted on the product prototype and the traditional world clock, and the results showed that it can help users get time zone information more quickly and intuitively, and also received higher scores on the interactivity dimension.
Inspiration: The current way of displaying the world time is often a combination of multiple traditional clocks, which is not intuitive enough, and the time difference between different places cannot be represented visually. It is also not possible to view the region where you wish to view the time at will. The design is inspired by the hovering globe, and by displaying the world time on the globe, the time of different regions can be displayed more intuitively.
Project Duration: The project starts in Shenzhen in May 2022 and ends in Hangzhou in September 2022.
Operation Flow: When using it, the user can touch the corresponding city location on the globe to display the local time of that city in real-time on the tray below. And if more than two cities are selected by the user, Snyearth can also automatically display the time difference between the cities.
