This page is about using the principles of natural nanomachinery (main focus self assembly by movement driven through intense shaking) for assembly at the macroscale.
Main obstacles:
- much lower speeds – typically much below the speed of sound
- much larger distances
- => much much lower random part encounter rates
To get an intuitive feel see page: The speed of atoms

- Complementary page to: Macroscale style machinery at the nanoscale
This one is not related to many of the common misconceptions about atomically precise manufacturing though.
- Scaling law – selfassembly driven by shaking (even if artificially introduced) scales badly to the macroscale
- Nonthermal self-assembly – this works well at the macroscale too
