Hate you
WTF, thats 4 minutes of my life I won’t get back😩
I came here looking for actual shafts that use trapped air we bearings to spin the housing on. I believe the technology was patented by FUJI in Japan. I believe it was Fuji that patented many enclosed sand blasting techniques. One of the which was essentially trapped air as bearings, or whatever it might be called. Still searching this decades old technology
Except you’ve overpacked the conventional bearing which guess what!!!! Decreases heat dissipation and causes hydraulic resistance!
Ha!!! I should have finished watching the video before commenting!!
Great video!!!!
True. But I require a bearing with basically no friction that will only need to spin about 25 times total, at a rate of less than one degree per hour intermittently with low load. So yeah, I'll be replacing the grease with one drop of silicone oil or maybe nothing.
Pffft! You only spun the bearings in the one direction…I call flawed test.. Surely the friction will be totally different if you spin them the opposite way. 😎 If you spin them the same way as the earth's rotation the friction is less. 😃 Thus friction-less!
Also, if it was truly frictionless you wouldn't hear anything when it spins. Just to give you a picture- a frictionless bearing would consist of the outer race and the inner race separated merely by a vacuum
air bearing once was fiction . still limited in applications but gr8 future for it
I heard you can get gas bearings with zero friction, is this a myth also?
Why would you ruin perfectly good frictionless bearings with your stupid grease? Now it doesn't anymore
I still not understand, is it some
liquid or magnetic in these bearings?
Are they 100% no friction?
