Earlier I wrote: Ordinary brushes or slip ring brushes should not work at all. This is not correct. The above should say: Slip ring brushes should not work at all. Of possible interest is that contact point brushes might work on ordinary iron disks used in place of the bearings. The

When I replicated the ball-bearing (marinov) motor about 12 years ago, I thought it might have something to do with longitudinal forces ala the Graneaus (Ampere-Neumann electrodynamics), since it only seemed to manifest with large currents. I didn't have an amp meter back then, but what kind

A shaft with a single iron disk and point brush, and an ordinary brush to the shaft, should work. The iron disk should be fairly thick. The point brush on the iron disk could be made from a thin copper disk, mounted on a copper shaft and electrically connected using an ordinary brush, as

Please mention the fish. Why would mucin have low friction? If friction is to be ananlysed on molecular level then the task is to show that there are no dissipative waves when two pieces of matter are rubbed against each other. i havenät herd anything of this. The subject seems mostly empirical.

I think you might have confused eels the fish with EELS, a tribology term. EELS is an acronnym for electron energy loss spectrometry. Tribology is the study of frictional interaction between surfaces. Maybe friction is just lower in Florida this year what with the reduced sunspot count and all

V, Today, went out and got a nice power supply for a Marinov bearing motor. 1200 ampere jump starter box. Two high quality RBI ball bearings, 5/8 shaft size, were purchased. Mated them to a shaft with an aluminum flywheel on the end, used a couple U bolts to hold the bearings to a wooden
