초록

New lubrication mechanism for nanomachine is proposed. This mechanism utilizes the effect of diffusive double layer observed in hydrophobic colloidal solution. Basic idea of the theory is inspired by the research for possible mechanism of bacterial flagellar motor In this study, formulation of this mechanism is achieved and numerical calculation is performed. It is shown that this mechanism can produce enough load capacitance. Furthermore not only capacitance to sustain driving force of flagellar motor
