Lunar Clock for the Olympics by Laura Williams

The power of the sun is amazing, but what about the power of the moon? Can it be harnessed? London-based artist Laura Williams thinks so and has decided to tap into that lunar power.

In 2002 she designed Aluna, the world’s first tidal-powered self-sufficient moon clock, but building such a remarkable piece of art requires space and money. As of now there are plans to build Aluna in London for the 2012 Olympic Games. It is said that if the plans for Aluna go ahead, then it will bring employment and tourism to the area, also there are plans for Aluna to provide power to 200 homes.

I think that it is a great idea to use natural resources and what are more natural than the sun and moon, just hope that it’s something that will take off. To read more go to Aluna
