Atomically precise technology for energy conversion can:

• solve the enegry storage problem making renewable energy storable and fossile or nuclear fission baseload power plants unnecessary
• circumvent burning processes that unnecessarily devaluates energy

Nanoscale: molecular power converters

AP technology provides several possibilities for energy conversion that work in a mill/zip/conveyor belt like style:

• chemomechanical converters
• electromechanical converters - the link for massive and efficient energy storage that is missing today
• entropomechanical converters
• optoelectric / solarelectric

Mesoscale

thermomechanical:

diamondoid heat pump system
Used base technologies can be: microcapsules, infinitesimal bearings and thermal switching cells
Note that although the efficiency is limited by the Carnough-cycle the conversion can be near reversible.

Makroscale

• thermonuclear (indirectly)
