of Amazon completes the construction of eternal hours, life hack
How you consider how many can serve the mechanical clock? Couple of hundreds of years? Or, maybe, one thousand years? The head of the Amazon company Jeff Bezos intended to create almost eternal mechanical clock. Hours are located in the rock near the Blue Origin spaceport that in the western Texas, and 42 million US dollars are spent for implementation of the project.
Should noticingthat the idea of construction of such hours belongs not to Jeff Bezos at all. It in 1995 was offered by the engineer Danny Hillis by way of illustration the fact that it is necessary to think of the future of the planet, but not to live for today. After start hours and their internal device will be open for free visit, however there is a small difficulty. To reach the place, it will be necessary to finish not sickly quest. As it is reported on the official site of the project,
Jeff Bezos's project can be perceived differently, but in rather strong statement on the fact that hours will work 10 000 years, it is trusted hardly. If to judge objectively: whether much you know real-life objects, age of 10 000 years (fossils are not counted)? Besides, these hours are mechanical, so at their design there are gears which constantly test friction force in interaction with each other that wears out details. Even the best Swiss watch demands replacement of some elements from time to time. In addition, it is impossible to forget that metal details are subject to corrosion. Or Jeff managed to create metal which is not oxidized over time?
