For adding up nanoscopic movement (speed / angular speed and force / torque) generated by chemical electrical or an other energy source to macroscopic movement there are multiple methods cnceivable:

Interfacial drive

An interfacial drive has the same basic structure as an infinitesimal bearing but made so much bigger that enegry generation and possibly storage can be incorporated.

Hierarchical axles
