Transporting Physical Objects using nanotechnology Part 2

We use pipes other words tubes to transport materials, in the early days it was water, sewage, then we moved on to oil and gas.




Water Pipes




Sewage Pipe




Oil Pipes

Today we use a modern form of piping which we call cabling which is used to transfer information. The big secret with nanotechnology has to be that you have to treat the information which goes down the cable as a physical object.




Electric Cable is used to power appliances, which has electric traveling through it.







Telegraph cable which was powered by electric and could produce analogue sounds. Was used this technology to send messages by using Morse code. Morse code was made up of dots and dashes. From a nanotechnology point of view, it requires physical objects to create these dots and dashes which people could use to produce a message.



Digital Cable for Software





As the cable become far more advance  The speed of the dots and dash was too fast for humans to use to work out the message being sent using sound. So a machine was used to decipher the message. Instead of calling this Morse code which used dots and dashes, we call it software which uses 0 and 1's. What is a very important to make is that software is stored on a micro chip, which is a physical object and that does means the 0 and 1's which travel through a PC and the cable has to be treated as a physical object.





Fiber Optic Cable is a new super fast way of sending information. The internal cable it self is made of glass. It transport the information using light, and yes light has physical properties.







So what is the future of cabling, the answer is nano-tubes, and what travels through it is bucky balls. What is so controversial has be firstly you will not be able see this cable under the naked eye, secondly the focus is not to send 0, 1's, quicker than light.




Thirdly the bucky ball is considered to be an upgrade and the replacer of the attended use of 0, 1's, which software uses.


Plus this does mean software has out lived it's meaningful purpose and replaced with the nanotechnology. This is due to the fact that software can't use bucky balls.

What the bucky ball is sending in a nano-tube is a physical material which can then be reproduce at the other end into a physical object. The machine which will be used to produces the physical object based on user preference is called a 3D Printer. The bucky ball material particles, which could be made of water, metal and gas. The bucky ball is just a means to packaged the particles and uses the nano-tubes for transportation, as before I said a cable which can't be seen from the naked eye.








The bucky ball is considered to be the perfectly engineered shape to use, to move tiny physical objects which humans can't see or touch but can be reshaped together again.




The tool which is used to reshape the objects is known as a 3D printer. It's worth mention that they are being used to print plastic models, print jewelry made out of metal, food products like cakes, and are now constructing enormous ones for house buildings.



So the next time you see a 3D printer, remember the tiny object which is coming out of the nozzles could be called bucky balls which is still at it's early stages, and the tiny objects which could be produced is known as nanotechnology.

Transporting Physical Objects using nanotechnology Part 1

Diagram above shows water in solid form made up of ice cubes in a glass, when melted at room temperature it changes to a liquid which can be seen in the kettle, when heated, it turns into a gas.



When you store or transport a solid object, you could put on a shelf and can be transported on a lorry, While with a liquid you might store, into a jar and transport it using a pipe, for example tap water uses water pipes. Gas on the other hand is air born and can be transported in the oxygen. What we do is compress it in a glass lab bottle and can be seen as a liquid, but once you release the lid it then escapes from the bottle.



The diagram above shows the space needed for the solid, liquid, gas.



Above is a 3D diagram of the solid, liquid, gas and how it's using the space.



The diagram above shows how the particles behave as a solid, liquid and gas.

The Solid particles, does not move about, while the liquid particles have freedom to move, as for the gas it escapes the container and is air born.

People today have learnt how to make materials change from solid, liquids and gas to meet there purpose,
For example when they abstract gas from the north sea, they compress the gas by 600 times and pipe it to the main land in a liquid form. It's worth mention that metals can be changed into a gas or liquid form. You don't have to heat the metal to achieve this, you just split the material up into a fine dust, then decide if you want it to behave like a liquid or gas.

Part 1 was to explain how humans are changing how particles behave in materials and the basics on how we are transport them. In Part 2 I will exam how nanotechnology is changing the rules on how we transport physical objects.

(((Current working on this)))

Transporting Physical Objects using nanotechnology Part 2

Needed 1 billion people for full time work to meet future demands!

So what are the jobs

The short answer is, that it's coming from nanotechnology,

Nanotechnology is needed basically in every industry which currently exist and is considered a
multi-trillion dollar industry which demands human intervention at every step in the process! That's how much of a benefit this technology is.

One could say it's more important than the birth and rise of software as we know it. I would even say it has more important purpose role compared with all the research which Google are currently doing with artificial intelligence.

Paints on cars




They are currently using some of it on new cars to make them scratch proof and keep the dirt off the car, Plus when it rains the water does not stay on the vehicle.

As thin as a sheet of paper





iphones and smart phones are at the early stages of this technology, with their touch screen displays.

Construction Materials



They are currently producing a new type of nano steel which is a few 100 times stronger then your normal steel. This will not only change how building are built in the future, but in my opinion replace a lot of the buildings which we currently use. As building have to be practical in how they are used.




This material is so super strong, that they are now planning on making the material like a sheet of paper and are going to use it to replace the furniture which we have in our homes like a table and a chair. The automobile industry is also planning to use this material as it's considered to be a huge cost saver, easier to work with and environmentally friendly. It will make the car so light in weight that you will be able to get more miles to the gallon.




Medication can be far more accurately administered to the patient using nanotechnology as you have more control on how the nano particles move about in the body, plus it can greatly reduce the side effects which can be found in our current medicines.

Just in this sector alone, is a trillion dollar industry which requires scientists not to focus on being lucky and making a discovery but to work on sound principles. This means if humans spend enough time doing the engineering work which is in involved with nanotechnology, that there is a guaranteed huge pay off!.

There is a million in jobs ready to be created in this sector alone as all the drugs which is currently administered, would benefit from a nanotechnology modification.

Below are two blogs I produced in the past which got a lot of interest. I think people were surprised how not everything is as it seems!

The world drawn to scale

How much does a rain cloud weigh

Needed 1 billion people for full work to meet future demands!




In a future blog I will try to explain how nanotechnology could be identified as a future tool which followers the rules of nature, that means not against it, as we have been. Plus try to explain how it can be seen as the upgrade and the replacer of software as we know it.
