Near Friction Free Lube discovered

Quote:

A REPORT said that scientists at Seikei and Aichi universities have discovered a lubricant that promises near to zero friction.

According to the report, in today's Nikkei Business Daily, the multilayer material consists of arrays of ball shaped fullerene molecules, between a sandwich of ultra thin films of graphite.

The graphite layers are around 1.3 nanometres, says the paper, with the fullerene balls about .7 nanometres in diameter, with molecular forces keeping the balls spaced evenly.

The report claims that when pressure is applied, it operates at a friction force of less than .4 nanonewtons - that compares to top lubricants exerting one nanonewton.

The Nikkei Business Daily reckons that the stuff can be turned into a powder and applied to mechanical parts to extend their active life.

...but what's the fun without a bit of friction? ;)

There is no fun without the friction. It would be like trying to have sex with warm air.

Actually I think ita application would be greater if it could be used in internal combustion engines. Think of the amount of gas and engine wear that could be saved.

The real question here is whether it's oil based or water based.

I wonder if they could create lube-rinks out of this stuff. It probably wouldn't need a lot of maintenance if you rent out the right boots.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it's friction that heats up the initially cold lube. So technically it'll be like thrusting into cold air.

She's right, unless the lube is neither warm nor cool.

i really dont think this is the type of "lubricant" we are all talking about.....excessive teenage hormons :p

Well, they don't call them "nice and decent hormones" for a reason.

They're RAGING!

Yes, but your partner's temperature should be a constant 98.6 degrees. Unless you're a necrophiliac... ;)
