Energy conversion
From apm
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 - note that although the efficiency is limited by the Carnough-cycle the process can be near reversible
Makroscale
- thermonuclear (indirectly)
