Abstract
Possible types of nanomachines based on many-wall carbon nanotubes and their operation modes are considered. Potential relief and energy barriers for the relative motion of a nanotube wall are studied. Fundamentally new nanomachines based on the threadlike relative motion of nanotube walls are proposed.Keywords
