For New Main Page

A Myth A Concept and An Idea

Miraculous Nanobots – A Widespread Myth

book cover
Screencap: My Little Pony: The Smooze

A viral idea that spread in the public consciousness.

Its about swarms of
"living" nanobots (nanobugs)
which spread uncontrolledly like pests.

Hoorofable: Grey Goo
"the unavoidable total apocalypse"
such a thing always sells well

Gem-Gum Pants-Pockets Factories – The Current Concept

book cover
Composition of screencaps from the video: "Productive Nanosystems"

A reliably predictable but hard to reach far term goal (since 1992) that is barely known.

In contrast to the mythology such a device can:

  • not "crawl away / buzz away"
  • not "devour" everything
  • not "mutate"

Molecular Assemblers – A Dated Idea

book cover
Screencap: BBC Horizon: "Nanoutopia" (1995)

An obvious bio-analogy (1986) from which the "Nanobug-Mythology" emerged.

The idea is dated since it turned out that assemblers

  • are significantly more difficult to reach – (but not fundamentally impossible)
  • would be pretty inefficient – (due to missing space inside for specialization)
  • are not desirable – (because of forms of grey goo that are toned down to more realistic levels)

(TODO: Upload leas missing pic)

Whats new on this wiki?

Template:APMwiki news

Where we're at and where we're headed to.

Far term target

(TODO: maybe add 0$-OSHW sign to gem-gum-factory infobox)

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)

(TODO: Nanofactory introduction infobox: both images need to go! make new better sketch of nanofactory - maybe add censored products pic - ditch or improve on covergent assemby)

Current state

Template:Cutting edge
(TODO: make cutting edge info-box with: sketch of structural DNA hinge mechanism & atom placement demo)

What, Why, How, When

DEFINITION: About APM What APM is not and what it is.
MOTIVATION: Reasons for APM Why we need APM.
APPROACH: Pathways to advanced APM How we get to advanced APM.
PROGRESSION: Time till advanced APM When we will get to advanced APM?

For a new orientation page

The big picture – Tour by map

(TODO: improve formulation; match up with main chapters - replacing "template:Orientation" -- WANTED: two colum info-boxes with minithumbs and maybe circled numbers ❶ ①)
Main article: "possibility space"
TODO: reformat to be more vertical and reformulate

(0) Introduction and overview

(1) Developing froward – current R&D

(2) Possible pathways

(3) Developing backward – preparatory design

(4) The far term target – kind of targeted manufacturing devices – core exploratory engineering

(5a) The targeted kind of materials

=== (5b) Products, and effects – benefits and risks ===
