  2. Friction modifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_modifier

    Friction modifiers are added to lubricants in order to reduce friction and wear in machine components. They are particularly important in the boundary lubrication regime, where they can prevent solid surfaces from coming into direct contact, substantially reducing friction and wear .

  7. Sources of electrical energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sources_of_electrical_energy

    Friction is the least-used of the six methods of producing energy. If a cloth rubs against an object, the object will display an effect called friction electricity. The object becomes charged due to the rubbing process, and now possesses an static electrical charge, hence it is also called static electricity. There are two main types of ...

  9. Lubricant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubricant

    A lubricant (sometimes shortened to lube) is a substance that helps to reduce friction between surfaces in mutual contact, which ultimately reduces the heat generated when the surfaces move. It may also have the function of transmitting forces, transporting foreign particles, or heating or cooling the surfaces.
