PCR on a massive scale

On a different tack, this morning I remembered my design for a production scale continuous PCR machine (as in not like the current small scale batch machines), I am not sure why anyone would need one but I have one designed anyway. It can even recycle the polymerase, and unused nucleotides, at the same time the finished product is cleaned up to keep the costs down. Thinking about it I could scale it up to be gene producer, by having multiple machines and combining the streams it should be possible with a “screen” which uses a certain type of enzyme, be possible to produce any length nucleotide strand and be error free.

What enzymes can use pyrophosphate as an energy source?

Also anyone interested in pursuing protein based nanomachines, should contact me since as I write this, I have had an excellent idea for doing that too, since it is a spinoff of my analog biocomputer project.
