BREAKTHROUGHS
The invention of such small nanobots still require very complex parts that may still need further research on. One requirement includes the manipulation of silicon to make it much smaller, and able to travel through the blood stream without affecting the patient’s overall health. The size of the bot would need to be tiny enough to be able to be transferred from a syringe into the bloodstream. The basic fitting of the bot is the biggest issue, due to the small size of the bloodstream. If a bot must have a battery source, it’d also be difficult in creating a small enough battery that would last for a considerable amount of time, and still retain a small shape. This is why we’ve decided on making a rechargeable battery, which is still able to provide enough of a battery life for the robot to complete its work, while being charged by external magnetic fields. Another requirement is creating a safe way to remove of the blood clots, without injuring the patient. An idea of using something similar to the process of a laser, where a small light will be emitted, burning away the blood clot in the process, might be dangerous. Although this could be efficient, if the energy of the laser is strong enough to burn away the blood clot, it may prove hazardous to the surrounding healthy blood cells. Placing a small enough tool that will still provide a way to remove the blood clot would be problematic. Even with something such as sharp blades, could still be harmful to the patient, and can leave pieces of the blood clot travellng down the bloodstream, which may become a bigger issue later on. The last requirement would be the use of nanobots. Once the nanobots exit the bloodstream, traces of the patient’s blood could remain on the robot, making it not reusable for the next needed patient. We’re still unsure if this is would be an issue, but the doctors could sanitize the bots for the next patient, but it might be a health hazard for others.
