also water isn't so hard to handle, it wouldn't be so difficult to hermetically seal the laser and the motors from the "viewing chamber".
if you don't like water there are more ways to generate a particle rich atmosphere.]]>Apr 9th 2010 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/art-lebedevs-reflectius-clock-tells-time-with-a-singe-laser-bea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/art-lebedevs-reflectius-clock-tells-time-with-a-singe-laser-bea/
The sketch says something about "diffusers[frost glass or polycarbonate]".

Or in this case, the article on the Yanko Design source. It *looks* like they have an actual, real picture of actual real laser numbers at the very very bottom.

They seem to be angling the lasers downward slightly so the skim the black enclosure. Or maybe they oscillate like a laser level. I don't really know.

But there are pictures, definitely. ]]>Apr 9th 2010 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/art-lebedevs-reflectius-clock-tells-time-with-a-singe-laser-bea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/art-lebedevs-reflectius-clock-tells-time-with-a-singe-laser-bea/

There are probably a few mirrors that are not visible. I'm not sure they figured out how to bend light yet. :)]]>Apr 9th 2010 5:04PM
