Diamondoid molecular elements (DMEs) are structural elements or machine elements at the lower physical size limit. They often are highly symetrical. Since metals are unsuitable (they lack directed bonds and tend to diffuse) diamondoid materials must be used.
- DM machine elements (DMMEs) (examples) like bearigs and gears have completely passivated surfaces.
- DM structural elements (DMSEs) (example) are minimally sized structural building blocks that are only partially passivated. They expose multiple radicals on some of their surfaces that act as AP welding interfaces to complementary surfaces. The step of connecting surface interfaces is done in assembly level II and is irreversible.
- DME ... Diamodoid Molecular Element (stiff - small - minimal)
- DMME ... D.M. Machine Element
- DMSE ... D.M. Structural Element
Name suggestion: since DMEs are somewhat of a cross between crystals and molecules why not call them "crystolecules"

Minimal set of compatible DMMEs
In electric circuits there is one topological and three kinds of basic passive elements.
Adding an active switching element one can create a great class of circuits.
0) fork node; 1) capacitors; 2) inductors; 3) resistors
Those passive elements have a direct correspondences in rotative or reciprocating mechanics namely:
0) planetary or differential gearbox [*]; 1) springs; 2) inertial masses; 3) friction elements
[*] and analogons for reciprocating mechanics
But there are limits to the electric-mechanic analogy. Some mechanic elements often differ significantly from their electric counterparts in their qualitative behavior. Two examples of elements quite different in behaviour are:
- transistors & locking pins
- transformers & gearboxes
With creating a set of standard sizes of those elements and a modular building block system to put them together
creating rather complex systems can be done in a much shorter time.
Like in electronics one can first create a schematics and subsequently the board.
To do: Create a minimal set of minimal sized DMMEs for rotative nanomechanics. Modular housing structures standard bearings and standard axle redirectioning are also needed.
To investigate: how can reciprocating mechanics be implemented considereng the passivation bending issue
