Sounds like NANOBOTS

They are.A bit crude,primitive,but it doesn't take a lot of thought to realize the future applications of such devices.

>give instructions via fuel
I never thought about that. It's pretty ingenious.

I envision nanobots working in swarms to do any number of goals and being fueled by another type of nanomachine that encodes the fuel with instructions (like make this molecule, destroy this molecule, turn on, or turn off). That nanomachine would recieve instructions from via it's own type of encoded fuel created by a a larger machine, and so on until one reaches the macroscopic scale. It would be like an industrial "primordial soup".

AWESOME

With some more research and some time this could revolutionize the world. This IS nanotechnology. So cool

So the fuel both gives the energy to the nanobot and gives it's direction...ingenious.
