Dear Alex,
You have already received excellent advice
from others. Here is some more :-)
I am contemplating a temporary sundial
sculpture.
Excellent idea.
It will be in its location for about two
weeks maximum the last weeks of August.
I am a great believer in specifying a
design life
Hi Alex,
Great idea, although I can't help wondering why anyone at Burning Man would
need, or even want, to know the time that accurately!
How big do you want your dial to be? Burning Man would be a great place for a
monumentally big one. Frank King's suggestion needs a different set of lines
The NASS Registry has pages on the Pyrolarium by Victor-charles Scafatia.
It was a temporary incendiary sundial that fired exploding mortars into the
sky at each hour of the day. It was made for the Burning Man Festival in
1999.

Hi Alex,
You are getting lots of good advice. Attached are some ideas and a couple of
sketches of what a temporary sundial with a vertical pole as the gnomon would
look like.
I have designed this for your Black Rock Nevada location for Aug 28/29 2009. On
those dates the longitude and EQT
