  • Makes bearing balls from liquid steel of correct composition. Small induction furnace as a start, part of Induction Furnace RLF
  • Bearing housings - modular with threaded holes for interchangeability
  • Collars with rapid-let go of shaft, shaft never seizes
  • Round and cylindrical bearings
  • Thrust bearing plates
  • Bearing ball cages
  • Mounting of shafts for lathes and wheels to 50k lb per wheel
  • Addition of chain drive and sprockets from light duty 3D print to 50k lb drive torque from a 12 hp hydraulic motor
  • Air bearing lathe for producing air bearings
  • Lathe produces housings and produces the bearing roller
  • Alloying furnace gets the right compositions
  • Ceramic bearings for water based engines - not as thermal barrier coating [1] but rust resistance, enables water-based hydraulics
