Something I’ve been thinking lately is that there are five major resources that factor heavily into success. I call them resources because they exist in limited supply for everyone, and can be accumulated (in most cases) by taking the right steps. And when all five are in good supply, you will be successful.

1. Health. Also known as vitality. Converts to energy.
2. Energy. Also known as fitness. Converts to efficiency.
3. Efficiency. Also known as productivity. Converts to wealth.
4. Wealth. Also known as financial security. Converts to enjoyment.
5. Enjoyment. Also known as relaxation. Converts to health.

Today I am going to blog about utility fog. It’s the coolest nanotech idea I have ever heard of. And while it needs an assembler to begin with, it doesn’t have to be self-replicating, so we could use it without the risk of decomposing the world into grey goo.

The nanomachines used to make utility fog are called foglets. Their design is very simple conceptually. 12 little arms, each with telescoping action, side-to-side, and rotating capability, are connected to a central hub. When they grasp each other, they form an octet truss framework, which is very stable. (Think of the honeycomb structure, then picture it 3-dimensionally.)

Isn’t this the neatest thing? Nanotech is going to solve our energy problems!
