Frictionless Bearings - Technical Secrets Explained!

You've got questions about this revolutionary new bearing technology? The AvE Bearing research facility has replicated recent developments in the reduction of sliding friction. Surprising technical details are revealed!
This is an addendum to the work of our esteemed colleagues at Popular Mechanics Magazine:

Reminds me of an important lesson, very early on at my first factory type job. Engineer I was working for told me to go through this huge box of sealed bearings, spin them like so and put the ones that spin freely in one bin and the ones that don't spin freely in the other. A couple hours later I take him both bins, he checks a couple in each bins and tips my "good" bearings into the scrap bin. Thus began a teachable moment on the role and importance of grease in bearings.

"If you see something too good to be true, ask your self WHY?"

no greater truth, Thanks Mr.Ave for your wonderful videos

I only use frictionless bearings in my perpetual motion machines due to cost and the fact that they can only be manufactured in micro-gravity.

HA HA HA I loved this. I work in the skateboard industry educating skateboarders about bearings. Kids like to determine the quality of their bearings by spinning a wheel. Free spinning a wheel with bearings proves nothing. You have to have loads applied. Great video! LOL

[chrisgadarowski]

The ending was clever! I kept looking for how the "frictionless" bearing was different... (Face palm!)

If a picture is worth 1, 000 words:
This video is 3:48 sec long, so that's 228 seconds. This video is presented at 30 frames per second, so (assuming a full second of footage for the full duration of the video) that's approximately 6, 840 frames (pictures) total. If each one is worth 1000 words, then this video is worth approximately 6, 840, 000 words.

"Technische Universität Ichmußscheißemachen"

I almost scheißed myself lol

[j-tuned]

The whole time I'm watching like it's the exact same without grease waiting for some explanation. Apparently I already knew.

[douglasalan]

It seems very natural.Like sex.
Without a load it's pretty much a wasted experiment.

[LazerLord]

639 people didn't watch until the end.

[EnUsUserScreenname]

I hope nobody from the Technische Universität "Ich muss Scheiße machen" sees this and sues you for revealing their secrets.

[robboz]

I lost it when i heard your outro,
those Tom Hurtin's Tim Pits
you know I'm stealin it

[rippspeck]

Oh god, that pseudo-German killed me. Well fucking done.

[johnforrestboone]

how does a PhD engineer troll this. well done sir.

[youtuber-hg]

I was watching some gta videos and somehow I ended up watching sb explain why frictionless bearings don't exist. 10/10

Electric motors are designed to run many lifetimes, but they fail because of human touch. Premature failure due You can always track it down to somebody.

[tonymengela]

I was thinking this was a fucking joke as he was talking and then it turns out it was.

[sethbracken]

Your German language skills are unrivaled. Thank you for your contributions to linguistics and engineering.

[henk]

i noticed the reason it was running so smooth before you explained it, i am proud of myself :)

[RichardsWorld]

I caught this very quick. Had me checking to make sure this wasn't uploaded on an April 1st.
