SNOWBLAST
U.S. Army test of the SNOWBLAST in Greenland in the 1950s.
The huge machine (notice the man next to it) was designed to smooth snow runways.
Notice also the machine's name in all caps just inside the snow torrents blasting from the giant nozzles.

Continue Time Clock
Designed by Sander Mulder, who said:
Our office clock fell, causing the minutes and seconds pointers to come off and they were just laying in the transparent cover.
Witnessing the random patterns that occurred while the hour pointer still rotated, the concept for the Continue Time Clock was born.
While creating mesmerizing patterns on your wall, the pointers are still read as with any traditional clock.
The widest pointer ( attached to the clockwork ) shows the hours, the medium sized pointer ( attached to the hour pointer ) shows the minutes, the smallest pointer ( attached to the minute pointer ) shows the seconds.
From the website:
On this Continue Time clock, two out of the three pointers rotate around another pointer, instead of the central point of the clock face as with traditional clocks.
The resulting kinetic artwork and fully functional clock continually changes its shape during a full rotation of 12 hours.
Limited edition of 40 pieces.
