Fuzzy Balls and Bucky Balls
Fuzzy balls and bucky balls are types of fullerenes. They are very small parts made from carbon atoms. These atoms are bonded together to create various shapes. These shapes can be used to make machines that are useful on a microscopic scale.

These are parts of a fullerene machine. They are called bucky gears. They have all the uses of regular gears but are made to be used in fullerene technology.

Here is a concept design for a fullerene car. It uses several simple parts including wheels.

Here is another concept for a fullerene car. As you can see it has a similar concept to the above car.

Here is an example of how a bucky gear can be used for different tasks. With the flexibility of fullerenes such as the example here the futere of fullerenes looks to have high expectations.
