Abstract: Nanoparticles are of most important in all the areas because of their varied and unusual properties. nano particles could be produced using top down and bottom up approaches. We present a novel method of synthesizing nanoparticles such as C, ZnO, Al, Fe2O3 . The surface grinding was taken as a fundamental process inside the proposed Nano Particle Synthesizer (NPS). Parameters such as speed of the grinding wheel, feed rate and coolant feed rate could be used for fixing the dimension and specification of our nano particles synthesizing unit. After Passing through the NPS, particles of micro and nanoparticles were collected in glass plate and characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to confirm the size and shape of nano particles. This method could be employed as an alternative method to High Energy Ball Milling for producing high pressure and high temperature that favors the synthesis of nano particles in specific shape and size.
