Would it be simpler to glue the graphite rings together first then do the grinding? That would remove any glue and create a uniform surface across the segments.
I wonder if you can substitute the graphite with a long ferrite core tube or even just a 1501 steel and just relay on precise cutting with smoothing an polishing and the air cushion that way a heatsink can be added inside the ferrite or steel air barring to faster cooling and get to higher rpms without adding more air then necessary just to cool them and for long term automated mass production and with supercaps on the rise so will the price for graphite that and china buys up a lot of it.
@@iEnergySupply to make a air bushing you should be able to use the lathe to bore it and a sanding stone bit and a polishing bit to finish it make shure all corners are rounded and you should be able to use high temp rubber oring gasket's I think all that can be found at a hardware store other than round heatsinks from ebay and a new housing from your 3d printer and bam air bushings on a budget should last longer than graphite.
Seems like the glue between the three sleeves would/could prevent air flow from the middle sleeve to the other sleeves but maybe this gets spread out in the casing first and evenly penetrates the graphite from all sides? A diagram of this would be cool. Also it seems like the gluing of the graphite sleeves into the housing would be equally as tricky to do right and should be shown. There was no explanation as to why the end of the shaft was pointed and touches an end-plate on one side. Is the table slightly tilted to keep the shaft touching the endplate? What air pressure did you use? How long should these bearings last? Wouldn't they grind themselves down quickly and become loose? Definitely works! Don't forget to wear a mask at your next orgy!
Surprisingly all the problems are non existent, sorry for the missing details. My camera man had to go and I was impatient to test it. I will have more details next time, it saves tones of time in the comments. The point stops the shaft. The graphite is a natural lubricant and actually doesn't touch the shaft when the air is on, when the air is off there isn't any appreciable wear Graphite has some very unique properties and is actually used in this application in commercial applications but are extremely expensive and companies don't like to sell them to just anyone. 80-100 psi. The bearings glued into the end pies just like I glued the graphite together but gets glued to the bottom inside. Lol I wasn't expecting that to happen but when it did I was like hm.... I think ill leave it in for a little humor/entertainment.

air bearings are really dangerous.... when speed goes really high, the magnets holding the construction will demagnetize during heat and make the construction unstable pretty fast....and keep in mind the force in small flying objects.. might be a good idea to stand behind cover when running a tesla turbine with air bearings... good luck, i looking forward to see this air bearing tesla turbine. :)
Blast shields are always used when I am unsure what will happen, good safety looking out. I've actually got multiple videos of what can go wrong if you go too fast when your side walls are too far away from the periphery of the casein. You must have a close tolerance if your rotor is brittle so that it can slightly stretch and break it's self like breaks in a car to prevent critical speed.
Now when hooking up the tesla turbine use the turbine to power the air bearing as well no point wasting air pressure , tesla valve might help you there. than when that's done build the "earthquake machine" (frequency manipulator) and power it with the turbine , set it to full send and "fucking send it" , make sure to film it tho , live stream , let's see what crazy frequency does I'm sure it will be wild
Great ideas! Yeah can you imagine a nearly friction-less air bearing and a nearly friction-less piston with magnetic bumpers on the earthquake machine!! Also lol we could add combustion to the pistons!
I bet you could use a fine casting powder like Fuji Platinum to form these porous bushings. Im really pleased by this whole process you have developed.
So do the graphite sleeves also spin on the cushion of air and also let the shaft spin without friction inside the sleeve at the same time like the shaft can spin freely faster than the graphite sleeve can spin on the air ride or does spin?
@@iEnergySupply graphene repels magnets and under a vacuum there is little to no resistance. Graphene makes a great battery as well. And graphene is a type of carbon so it is lightweight and strong.
would you be interested testing a tesla turbine ramjet engine, centrifugal compression pump out? gasoline, kerosene, anything liquid enough, to pass through, center air and fuel mix inlet. how about maglev bearings?
It seems like I cought a boo boo in your explanation....i think you had to do that to five more of them not six more, like you said after you already did one of the graphite sleeves...h....mmmm

good observation, I did both. In the future it will only have two segments.
Was going to suggest the same👍🙂

With more funding I can make that stuff. Our funding is growing by the week. Would be cool to do it all.

Exelente ideia! Very nice my brother!☺
Thank you! Cheers!
great job keep up the good work.
Will do.

I wonder if you could use it in place of an engine?
Keep it up my friend! The first few iterations are never about the looks right, it's about proof of concept right?
Thanks for sharing 😊
Correct.
very impressive. well done guys, the graphite was a nice touch. Can't wait to see it in action
Soon :) Testing rpm limits!
I only sorta $#%!ed it. Keep it true ! love the illustration video the other week in MSPAINT I think that rocks dude!
Thank you!

Thank you, we will return to it in the future.
Ah beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers!
Investor here🤘🏻
Cool, how serious are you?
Next time, glue first, bore later.
So do the graphite sleeves also spin on the cushion of air and also let the shaft spin without friction inside the sleeve at the same time like the shaft can spin freely faster than the graphite sleeve can spin on the air ride or does spin?
You are correct.
Why did you cut them into multiple rings? Why not just cut the graphite into one large hollow cylinder?
I didn't have the right size.
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Graphene sir. You should consider how magnets and electricity behave under a vacuum.
Anything you know of that is abnormal off the top of your head?
@@iEnergySupply graphene repels magnets and under a vacuum there is little to no resistance. Graphene makes a great battery as well. And graphene is a type of carbon so it is lightweight and strong.
@@masonwilson491 Can you imagine the speed you could get with graphene! Now we just need some disks made of the stuff.
Instead of using air pressure bearings, would air vacuüm bearings work? 🤔
Doesn't crack any of the graphite by banging it eh?
Wait till you see what we have.
would you be interested testing a tesla turbine ramjet engine, centrifugal compression pump out? gasoline, kerosene, anything liquid enough, to pass through, center air and fuel mix inlet. how about maglev bearings?
manufacturing tip: first glue, then make the wanted form
all excess glue are ripped out from inside
they can be totally passive, no air inlets for the bearings, not needed
airlev bearings
I'll be returning to magnetic bearings in the near future. Also Ill be working on fluidic bearings as well.
o dude thats freaky
Crazy how simple something can be ha?
love it! Am I missing something though, how will you maintain vacuum with air bearings?
Good question! I was actually planning on using steam for the air bearings, make a steam air bearing hybrid.
@@iEnergySupply nice idea, I assume you have tried magnetic bearings already and decided to go the air bearing route instead?
How much air pressure is optimum and how many was it on in this video?
(Edit: 6.8 bar)
omg wow! that worked... shit... wow.
Yeah sometimes it simply works haha.
It seems like I cought a boo boo in your explanation....i think you had to do that to five more of them not six more, like you said after you already did one of the graphite sleeves...h....mmmm
