Mechanisms

To better understand how my nano pit might work in terms of today i looked at the processes materials undergo today.

To better understand how my nano pit might work in terms of today i looked at the processes materials undergo currently:

   

On the left is one visualization of how my nano pit could work, there are three components. Crushing, dis-assembly (in the centrifugal pump) and sorting. After crushing the centrifugal pump spins and facilitate the suction action pulling the broken down materials into the chamber to be further processed by the nano bots, the pump again created enough pressure to push the material out of the chamber and into the sorting chambers.

On the right, replacing the centrifugal pump component of the design is the diaphragm pump. This pump works with a push and pull motion, when you push the membrane in one valve opens sucking in raw material and as the membrane is pulled outwards the first valve closes opening the second and moving the broken down materials into the next chamber for sorting. 

   

The broken down material in both cases is then moved upward, by the pumping action, into the exit tubes. In the tubes the materials flow through the valves as depicted above, this stops the material from flowing back into the sorting camber and contaminating the materials being processed at the time.
