A tiny power-assembly device driven by rotatory molecular motors are disclosed. The molecular motor power-supplying device includes multiple connecting members, multiple upper rotating arms, multiple lower rotating arms and multiple rotatory molecular motors. The F1-ATPase is optioned as the sample molecular motor of this device and is located between the upper rotating arm and the lower rotating arm. Each molecular motor is connected with a lower rotating arm through the α, β subunits and connected with a lower rotating arm by the γ subunit. The molecular motor power-supplying device can be driven to shorter (connecting members closely) or longer (connecting members separated far away) by the accumulated driving forces from the rotatory molecular motors.
