4.  NANO… one billionth of one and one third of micro ,to be
precise 10^-9 m.
 Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on an atomic and
molecular scale.
 It is the technology based upon the scaling down the existing
technologies to next level of precision and miniaturization.
 Nanotechnology in mechanical field is the internal combustion
engine on a Nano scale, which I have chosen as My area of interest.
INTRODUCTION

5. External combustion engine is the heat engine in which fuel
combustion takes place external to cylinder. Due to this it is bulky
and consumes a lot of place.
Second revolutions of heat engines are ICE in which fuel
combustion takes internally and consumes less place and became
compact, cost effective.
Of late third revolution is NANO Internal Combustion Engine.
Revolutions In Engines

6.  From back plate to drive
washer is less than 1 inch.
 There are no exotic
materials required.
It has high precision ,cost
effective, high speed (up to
40000rpm).
IDEA OF SIZE OF NANO

7. MAIN COMPONENTS USED
 CRANK CASE
 BACK PLATE
 CYLINDER AND HEAD
 VENTURI AND NEEDLE VALVE ASSEMBLY
 CONRODS AND CRANK SHAFTS
 PISTON AND CONTRA PISTON

8. Construction of "Nano" - A 0.1cc
Compression Ignition Engine
 The Nano is a 0.1cc compression ignition engine - most
frequently, if somewhat inaccurately, referred to as a "diesel".
 It was designed by Richard Gordon and the plans were included as
a supplement with the British Magazine Model Engineer in the early
1990's.

9. EXPLODED VIEW OF ENGINE

10. Like all model IC projects, there are a few special jigs and tools
required to construct the Nano.
The construction is extremely conventional - only the scale is
unusual.
The constructional cost is just USA$10 only in indian rupees it is
approx RS. 500 .

11. NANO SPANNER
 The odd looking thing is a special Nano-Spanner
required to tighten the back plate.
 It also fits the fuel nipple.

12. CUTTER
 The cutter is used to form the exhaust ports in the cylinder

13. PISTON CROWN AND VENTURI
 The crown of the piston is conical to assist transfer. The contra piston has a
matching concave conical depression.

14. CRANKSHAFT COMPONENTS

15.  When it is fired, it run briefly, oscillating back and forth about
TDC like over compressed diesels with small mass fly wheels are
wont to do Running!.
 But spring starters are the only way to start ultra small diesels -
hand propping just won't work.
WORKING OF NANO

16. Also, the fuel for mini diesels needs a lot of ether - as high as
50% by volume.
With high ether fuel and a spring starter, the little Nano will
burst into life.
Richard Gordon claims it will turn 40,000 rpm.

17. APPLICATIONS
 Nano ic engine has various applications ranging from race cars to
space crafts.

18. CONTINUED…..
 In race cars this IC Nano engine was used. The engine was fully
fabricated, that is, no castings were employed.
 It can be controlled in aero planes/satellites/space ships etc., The
timing of inlet and exhaust valves.
 According to NASA reports they are experimenting about the use
of Nano engine in Nano & Pico satellites.

19. CONTINUED…..
 In case of a mine tragedy where harmful gases are emitted ,these
Nano ic engines can be employed as powerful blowers to blow out
these gases is a time saving & the lives of trapped miners .
 Agriculture pumps sets.
 Every field of industry.

20. ADVANTAGES
Adds great power to your engine.
Boosts miles per gallon.
Prolongs engine life.
Cleans combustion chamber.
Protects the environment.

21. With the application of Nano in every sphere of life the ‘big’ may
not find its place in engineering dictionary in future.
If we are to continue these trends we will have to develop a new
manufacturing technology.
It will let us inexpensively build Nano system with mole quantities
that are molecular in both size and precision.
NANO TECHNOLOGY WILL DO THIS……..
