We are after a finer grained ink jet printer, jets that can drive pre-configured building blocks onto a substrate. If we can manufacture the captured catalyst molecule separately. Then load the result into the molecule driver jets.
Call the system the meta factory, an obvious candidate for carbon nanotube cannons. Driver jets made of the circumference optimum for the building block we are firing. Precision movement of the substrate lets us draw the lattice we need for a variety of solar driven chemical production arrays.
We can use the method to generate precursors, using the sun most efficiently, but leaving a rich food for bacteria. bacteria selection is simplified, and the solar occulting problem is handled.
Or make large buckey balls that enclose entire algae cells. It is possible to duct the large bucky ball so that alcohol is extruded immediately, to a separate outlet. The the system generates ready to use fuel. Really optimize the Algenol method.
Then to complete the picture, we can make the oxidizer nanoarrays, that get voltage out of the alcohol, for electric drive.
This is looking like the next Carbon Valley.
