Water Bearing

thingiverse

In Mechanical Engineering, a Bearing is some sort of device which eliminates friction, or tries to at least, because there is still friction on your mechanical model even after using 10 cans of WD-40 on just a single bearing. But whatever, man. I find Mechanical Engineering fascinating! So I decided to make my own bearing. How does it work? Basically the entire casing, or stator for all my Mechanical Engineers and scientists, is filled with water. And then the rotating part, or the shaft, or the rotor for all my Mechanical Engineers and scientists, is put inside the casing (I'm gonna call it the housing). The rotor floats on top of the housing due to water and buoyancy. Or at least that's what it's supposed to do. When I tested this for my Youtube channel it didn't work as I thought. The rotor kept sinking. I think with enough tweaks and such I can make this work. But for now it's a Work In Progress. You can remix it though.
