Nanotechnology in Automobile

Introduction: If science can be renowned as a god’s gift for human kind then, “Nanotechnology” can be esteemed as a precious pearl in the oceanic field of science. If Darwin’s evolution of mankind, descent of man from animal is a phenomenon, then Nanotechnology can be objectified as a phenomenon that crossed many hurdles to become a normality. Many “if’s” in this world has now become few possibilities and few “why not’s” because of the continuous...

NanoEngineer - Mark III(k) Planetary Gears

This is the MarkIII(k), a planetary gear created by K. Eric Drexler. A planetary gear couples  an input shaft via a sun gear to an output shaft through a set of planet gears (attached to the  output shaft by a planet carrier). The planet gears roll between the sun gear and a ring gear  on the inner surface of a casing. The animation below was produced from a NanoEngineer-1  molecular dynamics simulation. A section...
