There was a "Sundial" that I'm very pleased was never built.
"Sundial" was the codename for a 10 gigaton H-bomb design produced by Edward Teller and his team - the gigaton primary being called "Gnomon". There was no military value in these monsters - they would have been enormous (probably thousands of tons) and would need to be detonated at extreme altitude.
