Photo: EYEWIRE INCThe 10,000 Year Clock is a project of the Long Now Foundation, a non-profit organisation that wants to make "long-term thinking more common". The clock is designed to capture energy from changes in temperature to power its timekeeping apparatus, according to the Long Now Foundation. Like the clock hands, the chimes will only work if visitors power the clock. According to the Long Now Foundation, visitors will be able to hike to the site to see the finished product.
