What is a floating pen?

　This is the kind of pen with liquid ink inside that everyone has seen somewhere before. When you tilt it, the picture on the tiny card inside calmly moves.
If the movement distance is a mere 1.6 inches (4 cm), then the time it takes to move from one edge to the other of a card will be approx. 6 seconds.
