NANO PIT 2.0

Previously i thought that the waste might flow into the pit where the nano bots would disassemble the material and would release the sorted material from the bottom as a type of dust, but now i have been looking into the heart and how it acts as the muscle in the body which acts as the vessel of distribution and control of old and new re-oxygenated blood. 

Not dissimilarly, i now see the nano pits as an organ in the 'body' of my building pulsating and processing the waste of the residential component. So the waste will go down one tube of the nano pit utilising gravity, entering the disassembling chamber; once processed, the pit will contract like a muscle in the body increasing the pressure and forcing the disassembled material into the sorting chamber to be sent up the release valves through the same 'organ like contractions'. These release valves will be the new system that transports the sorted material to its storage location within the Myer center.

Looking at how to recapture the concept of a heart in a futuristic and industrialised way this image below was quite striking for me. I would like to capture a similar sort of feel in my final design but perhaps in a slightly more abstract way. I do find it interesting though looking at the heart as an industrial machine and i would like this to be construed within the design as i feel it would reflect my whole scenario well.  

On another note, as an industrial machine, my nano pits will require maintenance. As such, i have decided to incorporate maintenance access to the nano pits, these access paths will wrap around the pits and access the different levels which will house the storage of the different materials.
