This article is a stub. It needs to be expanded.
Screen capture from the video showing several processing stages compressed into just one image. Visible is (1) ethyne purification stages (2) final transfer of ethyne into machine phase (3) loading of ethyne onto tooltips (4) Abstraction of a pair of hydrogen atoms (5) deposition of a pair of carbon atoms onto a cube shaped crystolecule under construction (6) tranport of along the assembly line. A real design: (A) would have these processing stages much more spaced apart (B) would have the tool tips running on chains too (C) would have the molecule sorting stages and final transfer to machine phase worked out in much more detail
Here is an alternate scene that did not make it into the animation video. The tips are on belts for longer tip-tip encounter time. It seem to suffers from being a too compact design though leading to a few issues like: The polygonal wheels may cause Van der Waals force spikes, the hinge flexing graphene sheet connections seems questionable and the axles are cramped. (wiki-TODO: figure out what mechanosynthetic reaction is supposed to be demonstrated here)

This page is about the the conceptual animation video "Productive nanosystems: From molecules to superproducts".
Watch it here: Productive nanosystems: From molecules to superproducts (InternetArchive link)
To address the common immediate concerns see: Macroscale style machinery at the nanoscale

Goals

Goals of the concept video

The goals of this animation presumably where a balance of:

  • accurate depiction of concepts outlined in the book Nanosystems
  • comprehensible depiction of concepts (not over designed over complicated – just giving a hint that there are plenty ways to do it)
  • manageable design effort

Goals of this discussion page

This page is about a brief listing of the sequence of things shown in the video illustrated with screen captures.
Detailed discussions of the stations will be given on dedicated sub-pages.

Up: Discussion of proposed nanofactory designs

List of stations

(wiki-TODO: add images and complete list)

Notes

The page on this wiki that is associated is: Gemstone metamaterial on chip factories
The page "Advanced productive nanosystems" is more generally about all kinds of proposed advanced manufacturing systems (more and less feasible) that go into the direction of gem-gum technology.
