Zero friction freestanding attachment chain transport
From apm
Free-floating attachment chains have no direct contact to surrounding surfaces and
Van der Waals force drops very very rapidly off with distance.
Strong dipoles and actual charges can be much longer range but those can be avoided.
Thus transport can be pretty much friction free as long as there is no
interaction needed like in molecular mills.
TODO formulate these:
- spanning length, dynamic stability, jostles, losses at the pinions at the end,
- where employable, speeds, ...

Not applicable to Bottom scale assembly lines in gem-gum factories where
lots of demsly packed physical interaction is required like in molecular mills.
