Ok another sleepless night for Naughty.
Frictionless bearings,do they exist?
and what form do they take?
I took a five minute tour of google to see,and there are some limited uses,for bearings that are friction /stiction free.
My idea...Yea UHH OH!
is to use a neodimium ceramic composit bearing that has conductivity propertys.
no not super conducting, i havent figured that one out quit yet...

I figure to put an engineered ceramic high temperature set of the really strong and really expensive neodimium magnets into a turbo as the support bearings for the very well balanced shaft.
the shaft is coated,or carries an opposit charge than the bearing itself. the higher the speed of the shaft,the more power it will generate to the magnetic support thus in a loop it will stabilize and de-friction the turbo's shaft.
faster spool up
less coking
longer life
higher speeds in the system capability
self contained to its own power source
I think i covered some bases
and will probably never see a dime coz as soon as it goes public...
there ya go fellas
another million dollar idea...DONT FORGET TO SHARE!
think it'll work?
and yes,ime trying to figure out frictionless engine bearings,but the harmonics thing is the kicker,so if there are any ceramic enginneers out there,nows your chance to score!

The concept of magnet bearings where a device is suspended in a magnetic field is not new and has seen usage is specialized app's but it is expensive to do and does not like vibration, off axis movement or changes in RPM/load. You will like not see it in a turbo in your lifetime.
