Drive subsystem of a gem-gum factory

The drive system (or energy management subsystem) is an essential subsystem of gemstone metamaterial nanofactories.
Like other non-primary subsystems it would be located in the housing and the internal walls of a device.

The energy conversion inefficiencies in this subsystem are a major source of waste heat (beside friction) so one ought to minimize them.
Waste heat from energy conversion can be more difficult to estimate in an more accurate way beyond just very crude conservative estimations.
