I have built something capable of reproducing itself, but not on a nanotek level, and it requires a human to follow directions given to it. The human can be a simple laborer. While there are transponders capable of transmitting based on radio rf energy received (RF ID chips), a single power source for a nanotek device would be difficult to produce to make each component independently self-propelled. From a size pov, however, there are now wafer size battery packs, so it's getting close. One of the many falicies of stargate however is the advancement of the replicators with a fluid form similar to a human, and yet when their bonds are broken they collapse into cubes, instead of powder.

COooooooooool! What was it???

I would like to use nanotechnoogy to build me a man from inside out the way I want him...with testostrone levels I can control at whim ..................oh wait a minute, I can already do that

Its picture is in my profile. It's a 4 axis CNC that can produce components in one pass, cutting both sides of the part at once, and it's a prototype that will go into production probably in the 3rd quarter of this year. The second picture of a machine is a 3D scanner I invented, and yes, it can scan just about any 3D surface. Hmm. It just occurred to me that this could be the next generation of photocopy scandal, except that you get to see it in 3D. <g> The scanner is in production now, for the foot orthotics industry.

The idea of building a habital planet from the atomic level up utilizing minute machines that have the ability to adapt and replicate themselves is truly amazing...me thinks!

But, what happens if these machines mutate and take over...the universe could actually experience a volcanic type explosion that causes it to collapse upon itself into one massive orgasmic implosive black hole!!! Or not???


Ponder this

Do these things have boobies is the critical question.... just saying

not if its male..though could have moobs
