Abstract
We suggest a principle of operation of a new molecular device that transforms the energy of light into repetitive mechanical motions. Such a device can also serve as a model system for the study of the effect of electric field on intramolecular electron transfer. We discuss the design of suitable molecular systems and the methods that may monitor the 'performance' of such a machine.
