Particle acceleration of crystolecules
The idea here basically is to give crystolecules a charge levitate them
and then accelerate them to to very high speeds.
Basically a particle accelerator that accelerates small crystolecules.
Levitating crystolecules weakly constraint
- makes them leave the machine phase and eventually may
- make them start to quantum disperse)
Reminder: A main goal in atomically precise manufacturing is to gain and retain
control over position and orientation of atoms and molecules. Usually not to deliberately let go of it.

Motivation
Why would one want to do this?
Good question.
Just because you can?
Curiosity, research, ...,
Exploiting some special effects that are yet to discover?
Nanoparticle rocket engine?
It could be just simple packages for some heavy cheap element like say iron
making the accelerator into a reaction drive rocket engine.
The inherent limits (listed below) may make this infeasible though.
Warning! you are moving into more speculative areas.
Accelerating connected chains continuously (for whatever reason one might want to do so)
needs to somehow deal with the stretching effect. ... (starting with a chain folded up on a chain levitating chain drum spooling off sideways??)
This seems more sensible for larger scales and slower speeds where there is no need for weakly constraining ultra low friction levitation.

Limits
Charge to mass ratio is rather limited.
- Too much negative charge and electrons will just fly off
- Too much positive charge and the chemical bonds in the crystolecule will become unstable. Atoms fly off.
Getting near light-speed will likely be tough for all but the smallest crystolecules. To investigate.
Changing speeds (as they do under acceleration when much below the speed of light) makes acceleration more difficult.
Either distances or frequencies must sweep.
