I like Tiny Tech and I'll probably need the lung cleaners pretty soon.

These are fantastic creations. They make me think of our relationship to the future... how today we look back and wonder if someone could have conceived of space travel or even flight two hundred years ago. I wonder if nanotechnology is that future from which we'll look back and say, 'how did they live without it?'

Disappointingly these are fiction. Herewith a real nano machine
The gear teeth of this tiny microengine are about the size of red blood cells; it is powered using electrostatic forces. Because the microengine has virtually no inertia, we have been able to run them at speeds over 1/2 of a million revolutions per minute (RPM).
