A planetary clock of unthought of precision. Instead of gears it uses a stack of binary mechanical computers. It is designed to show seconds, minutes, hours, years as well as track the orbits of the inner six planets for 10,000 years. A second scale prototype (shown) has been built that is 6 feet high. The final version ,which will be embeded in a mountain in Nevada or Texas, will be at least 60 feet high. Insane and brillant and beautiful.
