This isn’t specifically related to alternative energy, but I found it pretty cool. It potentially could have big ramifications for the nanotech field and might also lead to future semiconductors that use way less power than current chips. IBM researchers, in a press release, have announced that they are the first to measure the force it takes to move individual atams on a surface. They say that this measurement provides important information for designing future atomic scale devices such as computer chips and miniturized storage devices.
For example, the researchers say that the force needed to move a cobalt atam over a smooth platinum surface is 210 piconewtons, while it takes only 17 piconewtons to move a cobalt atam over a copper surface. By comparison, the force needed to lift a copper penny that weighs 3 grams is nearly 30 billion piconewtons.

Hello!
In the world an economic collapse comes
to a head much
larger, than modern events. Honour
below about it. And draw conclusions. By
me quite
an invention which I to you is new-made
I set forth below – IT ENORMOUS INVENTOR
FIND – THERE QUITE ARE not MINUSES, ABOVE
WHICH MANY FIGHT ALREADY A LONG AGO
INVENTORS ARE IN THE BESTOPLIVNYKH
POWER DEVICES. I this information
already over the internet sent in very much
advanced NII and corporations. I DO IT,
TO FORESTALL CHINESE: they mature much
plans, how to become economic predominant
powers in
world, now already want it to do to on
bestoplivnym to the power devices,
to put weigh the world on knees. Help and
You to me on these my businesses. Look
this letter and next letters, acquaint with
them
sending and tekhnarey.
It is done by me 302 inventions (greater
part on new energy, filters, pumps, thin
to productive vodoochistke, to gas
to the weapon and cars), you look them
on sites
there is Herman on the keywords of “Izmalkov”.

To me invention “Engine with external
admission of heat” does revolution in
dvigatelestroenii.
But all impediment is in tom, that although it
a device is exceptional simple, but to
undertake
for him does not want, because in his
basis lies
making of springs which have very much
a lot of cycles in a minute and on reliable
the capacity of which need
works of researches. You VIDE my invention INFRA
“Electromagnetic machine”. IT BESTOPLIVNYY
ENGINE, having a capacity as
bestoplivnyy on everything 100% – HONOUR And
UNDERSTAND.
Practical at all magnetic engines
there is some mental INSTABILITY which
creates from deviation of center of the
masses of the system from the axis of
rotation ot CENTRIFUGAL FORCE and
creates the large lateral loadings on
bearings of billow and these forces create in
bearings large forces of friction, and
mental instability is VIBRATIONS.
Herein to my
Present a “electromagnetic machine”
even temper on everything 100% and permanent
magnets DRIVE up under magnitoprovody
obestochennykh spools of electromagnets
without
consumptions of some extraneous energy. In
MY THIS DEVICE ALL MAGNETIC FORCES HAVE
RESULTING FORCE of ALL OPERATING, SIL
EQUAL to ZERO, And ETA RESULTANT NOT
PARTICIPATES ON THIS REASON IN LATERAL
AFFECTING BEARINGS of BILLOW, WHICH
CAN GIVE LARGE FORCE OF FRICTION AND
DEPRIVE IT
DEVICE OF POSSIBILITY TO ACCOMPLISH USEFUL
WORK,
On ???.1 the offered is scheme shown
machine, general view; on ???.2 is a
cut of A-An on ???.1; on figs.? – in a
megascopic scale
magnets,
Offered electromagnetic machine
consists of corps 1 from unmagnetic
material on which evenly to on
circumferences are hardly set
electromagnets 2 with poles, located
in one stronu parallel the axes of corps
1, with distances between them on a
circumference,
equal to their length on a
circumference. Under
by electromagnets 2 with a minimum gap
can pass permanent magnets 3 with
by poles, located the same as at
electromagnets 2, the amount of which
is the same, as well as at
electromagnets 2, and which
hardly set evenly to on
circumferences with distances between
them to on
circumferences, equal to their length
on a circumference, on an unmagnetic
disk 4 with central
by an output billow 5. Electromagnet 2 executed
from podkovoobraznogo magnitoprovoda 6, on
which a puttee is winded 7 in direction,
at which on the ends of magnitoprovodov 6
magnetic poles are identical to in relation to
to the magnetic poles of magnets 3. On a
disk 4 and on
corps 1 the elements of device are set
it is not shown on a draft) for including
of current in
puttees 7 electromagnets 2 in the moment
of their
position, shown on ???.2, when
magnets 3 are fully under magnets
2. Offered electromagnetic machine
works due to co-operation of magnets 2
and 3. In position of magnets 2 and 3,
shown on ???.2, magnets 3 pulled in under
magnitoprovody 6, because they are attracted
to magnitoprovodu 6 and when through a
puttee a current does not go. In it
elements of its including on a disk 4
and corps
1, this current creates on ends
magnitoprovodov ? of the same names magnetic
poles with magnets 3 and magnets 3 from
it pushed from under magnets 2 in tu
I stronu, in what they were pulled in to
hits them in position on ???.2.
Then
the device of including of current is
turned off by a current in
moment of complete output of magnets 3
from under
magnets 2 and these magnets 3 drawn
together already with next magnets 2 and
attracted them
magnitoprovodami 6 to the offensive of it
positions on ???.2. A machine requires
an acceleration
for overcoming inertia of rest and receipt
inertias for overcoming ravnovesnykh
positions of co-operation of magnets 2 and 3.
A machine works after an acceleration, as
bestoplivnyy engine. Twisting moment
taken off from a billow 5.
LOOK DRAFTS IN ATTACHMENT
THIS REQUEST IS DECLARED IN UKRPATENT
AND ROSPATENT AND
ON HER PRIORITY DATE IS GOT.
With kind regards
