Superlubricity is a regime of relative motion in which friction vanishes or very nearly vanishes. However, the definition of "vanishing" friction level is not clear, which makes the term vague. As an ad hoc definition, a kinetic coefficient of friction less than 0.01 can be adopted. [1] This definition also requires further discussion and ...
A magnetic bearing. A magnetic bearing is a type of bearing that supports a load using magnetic levitation.Magnetic bearings support moving parts without physical contact. For instance, they are able to levitate a rotating shaft and permit relative motion with very low friction and no mechanical w
Its hubless wheels are made from former truck tires, and a chain-driven friction drum provides power and brake force. [ 6 ] Designed "for casual cruising and slow ride-bys at shows", it consists of a 996 cc (60.8 cu in) fuel-injected Suzuki 4-stroke engine [ 7 ] in a steel frame covered by a fiberglass body with electroluminescent wire lighting.
Diamagnetic levitation seems promising because of its accurate control, zero friction, and zero wear, but becomes less reliable at higher payloads as its max bearing pressure is in the order of 102. Therefore, ferrofluids, with a max bearing pressure in the order of 2 x 104, have been studied to increase the amount of weight that magnetic force ...

Stiction (a portmanteau of the words static and friction) [1] is the force that needs to be overcome to enable relative motion of stationary objects in contact. [2] Any solid objects pressing against each other (but not sliding) will require some threshold of force parallel to the surface of contact in order to overcome static adhesion. [3]
The Ferris wheel near Interstate 35 and Broadway Boulevard opened for operations on Thursday. The Star got a preview ride on the wheel where we shot plenty of photos and video to share with our ...
