Idea:: Dynamic Structure in GC

The user recieves a cube, this represents a 2x2x2(in.) cube (grid points) in GC. Using a script that will allow this small cube to grow (which is based off of user defined variables or L-Systems), it will grow into say a 10x10x10(ft.) cube (grid points). All points are then linked to a point (pointX) off […]

Exoskeletal Capillary System

Section Cut EXAMPLE Proposal for the exoskeleton to have a capillary system running thru it which collects and distributes rain water and air. After climate information is calculated, the nanobots would leave out voids in the exoskeleton for the distribution of these systems. The exterior of the structure would then have pores, where sides facing the […]

Hybrid Peer-to-Peer Netowrking.

The Hybrid Peer-to-Peer network is a proposal of how our autonomous structures will link up to one another for data/information sharing. This will allow for ‘People to work together on designs and construction, without any direct communication or even common interest’. Once users have input their data into the structure and the structure has maximized […]

NanoProcessors

The first computer circuit to be built on a single molecule has been unveiled by researchers in the US. It was assembled on a single carbon nanotube, a standard component of any nanotechnologist’s toolkit. The circuit is less than a fifth of the width of a human hair and can only be seen through an […]

Monday Evening Meeting

At Monday night’s meeting we discussed where we are headed with our project and our presentation boards. Currently we are working to produce a digital 3d model of the nanobot (and associated parts) in 3ds max for the presentation models and diagrams. For the structure we are working with Bentley GC. Our idea for Bentley […]

Nanotube Membrane

Molecules by me The nanotubes, special molecules made of carbon atoms in a unique arrangement, are hollow and more than 50,000 times thinner than a human hair. Billions of these tubes act as the pores in the membrane. The super smooth inside of the nanotubes allow liquids and gases to rapidly flow through, while the […]

Reactionary anti-nanobot tirade

The assembly line technique of replication is, as far as I know, an untested human invention. Plants and animals (at least at the cellular level) replicate via mitosis. But here we are dealing with RNA coding which is beyond my ability to demonstrate as it occurs in nature let alone as it might occur in […]

Self Replicating Nanobots

At tonights meeting we discussed which route we are going to take for this competition; an exoskeletal structural system (an Octet Truss System) or self replicating nanobots. Taking from the idea of starting from the bottom-up we have decided to are look at designing a nanobot which can self replicate itself to make a structure. […]
