...surfaces dry out and friction builds up. A ball bearing – or a slide bearing around an axle – needs lubricating at all times. If a leak causes the lubrication in the bearings of large machines to dry out, there can be huge cost implications. Metal surfaces can grate against each other and seize up, in the...
In just a few years, it may take you only 30 minutes to travel the distance between Oslo and Trondheim. How is it possible to cover such a long distance while taking the same amount of time as your daily commute to work or school? The answer lies in the hyperloop, an advanced form of pneumatic tube...
