The images are details which will be presented on either the first or second board. These will be the blown up details of certain areas of the carbon nanobot. Nanoconnectors are linked at the ends of the nanotubes and the processor linked to the inner shell of the carbon nanobot body. Here are the detail […]

September Progress
Bottom-up control begins at the molecular level through manipulation of the basic component, the nanobot. At the nanometer scale one will see convergent assembly lines generating nanobot components fueled by carbon split from CO2, and driven by carbon based nano-processors1. These self-replicating nanobots are chained together by nanotubes which simultaneously provide a way of transporting […]
L-Systems Growth
This animation shows an L-System based growth model that we are currently developing.
3Ds Max Rendering:: Multi-walled Nanotube
Multi-walled Carbon Nanotube (10^9nM) – Tom Poore
Molecular Manufacturing:: Convergent Assembly
The above illustration (available for use) shows one way in which mechanisms can be organized to quickly build large products from nanoscale parts, using an approach suggested by Ralph Merkle in which small parts converge to form larger parts in a simple, systematic pattern. It is perhaps best explained by starting at the end and […]

Mel/Max L-Systems Scripting
After trying to do our L-system scripting in C# and then putting the script into Generative Components, we have decided to also try L-systems scripting in Maya and 3d Max. The cube will then be imported to GC for the second half of the structural deformation. This is where a script will be written and […]
Example:: P2P
HERE is an example diagram that graphically explains the relation of the peer-to-peer connection between the structures. A final layout will need to be chosen before the graphics can fully be expressed. Structures, become nodes, which are linked to a wireless network– a pure Peer-to-Peer Network. Data and variables are exchanged through this network, from […]
August Progress
Data has been gathered from the four different sites(Alaska, Australia, Spain, and Brazil), located throughout the world. Minumum, average, and maximum annual temperatures and rainfall have been graphed out. At this point we would like to show four different structures for each of the four different cities. The four different structures would represent the four […]
GC: Populating Surfaces
Our initial idea was to try and model the carbon nanotube in GC and then populate it over a surface, but a hexagon has six points, GC only recognizes four of these. This is causing problems bringing that [carbon] object over a cylindrical surface. This will now have to be modelled in 3ds max instead […]
