Revision as of 18:15, 11 February 2016

This article defines a novel term (that is hopefully sensibly chosen). The term is introduced to make a concept more concrete and understand its interrelationship with other topics related to atomically precise manufacturing. For details go to the page: Neologism.
This article is a stub. It needs to be expanded.

Atomically precise small scale factories or gem gum factories for short are the main topic of this wiki.
A survey of alternative names that where used or are newly proposed can be found >>here<<.

What it is and what it does

A personal desktop gem-gum factory fabblet with dynamically deployed protective hood.

The personal gem gum factory is:

  • Your personal device that can push out virtually every thing* of your daily use.
    (* at least every inedible thing)

The personal gem gum factory makes:

  • Your products that are as cheap as the abundant mining-free raw materials that it processes.
  • Your products that are far superior to today's best and ridiculously expensive high tech products.
  • Your products potentially in an environmentally friendly effluent free way
    (also advanced recycling is faster than producing from scratch)
Graphical Infosheets: [1] (work in progress)

Self replication

Beside uesful products a personal fabricator can quickly produce copies of itself and that without any special raw materials thus you can make copies for all of your friends and they can make copies for all of their friends. Since everyone is linked to every other person on earth through a low number of acquaintanceships wikipedia: six degrees of separation (well not entirely true) you can imagine how fast this can spread.

Stage step table

You may meander through this table in two ways:

  • size wise column by column including all the repeating processing steps (including the assembly levels) and/or
  • type wise row by row showing how the chosen aspect of the processing chain changes with scale
Caracteristics Level 0 Level I Level II Level III
Type of Components molecular fragments crystolecules microcomponents product fragments
Methods for Connection
(Physical interfaces) 		covalent bonds surface interfaces
shape locking
(Van der Waals sticking) 		(shape locking)
Van der Waals sticking
simple mechanisms 		advanced
auto-align mechanisms
Physical Properties atoms are eternally wear free
(for all practical purpouses) 		super lubricating
practically wear free
strong 		inheriting toughness emulated properties
via metamaterials
Examples
of Components 		Elements: C,H,Si,Ge,...
from simple compounds CH4, CO2, ... 		basic machine elements
basic structural elements 		space filling polyhedra
and adapterparts 		muscle motors
infinitesimal bearings
designed stress strain behaviour
power tweakable energy storage
thermal switch material
air accelerators
Size Comparison
Model Scale 500.000:1 		Model atoms have hair diameter Model components are from the size of a grain of salt
to the size of a playing dice 		Model components are the size of a big plant pot Model components are the size of a house.
A soccer court scaled down 1:500.000 is visible by eye - it has the width of a hair.
Character
of Manipulators 		fast mass production/preparation in stiff molecular mills
(employing 3 tip tricks) 		conveyor belt assembly stiff manipulators
with parallel mechanics akin to steward plattform 		conventional factory robot arms
with serial mechanics
Distribution / Logistics moiety routing
even for basic hydrocarbon handling quite complex 		major rail routing station
fail safe producer and consumer for redundancy 		minor rail routing station no routing?
Clean Environment all mechanosynthesis happens
under practically perfect vacuum 		possibly early vacuum lockout of crystolecules main vacuum lockout of microcomponents possibly clean-room lockout

(TODO: add miniature images and links to table)
