Moreover, I'm pretty sure the rod logic/nanoscale Analytical Engines are going to be a lot slower than an electronic chip. I've simulated a ridiculously short rod under a force of 5000 piconewtons and it barely moved over several thousand femtoseconds. Then there's the whole thing about resetting the rods to their original positions, and I haven't heard of a spring the width of a few atoms. Alternatively, a rotating diamondoid cam like pic related can turn rotating motion into linnear motion, but I don't know how massive it has to be or how fast it has to rotate for it to function properly in a rod-logical circuit.
