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
[Todo: add infographic]
Different power converters have heterogeneity residing on different size scales.
Nanoscale: molecular power converters
AP technology provides several possibilities for energy conversion that work in a mill/zip/conveyor belt like style:
- chemomechanical converters – the link for massive and efficient energy storage that is missing today (2021)
- electromechanical converters – two types?
- entropomechanical converters
- Diamondoid solar cells – optoelectric/solarelectric converters
- Atomically precise electrochemical converters – basically batteries when there is atomically precise control over matter
- mechanoradio and radiomechanical conversion
– spinning electrical dipoles really fast mechanically
– the limit might be somewhere at 100GHz? (nanoscale levitation likely needed to limit friction at speeds close to the unsupported rotating ring speed limit) - mechanooptical conversion – this is very new – exciting elecronic stated by force applying mechanic manipulation on bound molecules
- optomechanical conversion – basically photochemistry – causing a conformational change through electronic structure change through optical excitation
The teraherz gap between radio frequencies and far infrared frequencies
- is too high for generation by moving charges mechanically and also
- is challenging to cover even from the electronic side – (non mechanical technology path)
Mesoscale
thermomechanical:
diamondoid heat pump system
Used base technologies can be: microcapsules, infinitesimal bearings and thermal switching cells
Note that although the efficiency is limited by the Carnough-cycle the conversion can be near reversible.
Makroscale
thermonuclear
Complex macroscopic systems made from advanced diamondoid metamaterials may lead to significant improvements here.
