From the first link: The very high rotational speeds of turbine engine shafts (>10000 rpm) allow the replacement of oil with air. At these speeds, foil air bearings maintain the air film between moving parts by actually pumping air between the rotating and stationary surfaces. Now try and guess why...

When do you think we'll see DC axial fans (for PC use) with air foil bearings? Advantages: Zero bearing noise at operating speed Effectively unlimited bearing life? [negligible] increase in efficiency over ball/sleeve bearing Disadvantages: COST Less space-efficient - requires longer bearing axis an...

At least one person here has commented that the asphalt stuff is nice insofar as it is heavy and helps weigh down cases, but can be smelly. The vinyl stuff is supposedly...

For especially long audio/RCA's you want high-end cables,lower ohms,resistance as well as better shielding. RCA connectors are used on cables whose impedance is 75 ohms. You should not use cables with impedances that significantly differ from the standard. Resistance doesn't really matter, but good...
