laser clock prototype

This is the "first draft" of a clock with laser "hands". Three gear motors turn 45 degree mirrors above lasers to produce three rotating beams.

When finished, much more powerful lasers will cause the beams to move to mark hour, min, and sec. at a mile across.

This will be installed at burningman 2011 and will be submitted as a world record size clock.
