Kingsbury Michelle Aerodynamic Bearing Collaboration

The first teaser video of a really fun collaboration between the very clever Steve Mould a British science educator and myself. Like all things this project started out simply but became something of a rabbit hole. Check out Steve's monster channel for all kinds of fascinating warrens to go down and his take on the Kingsbury tilting pad bearing.
Steve also has a cool podcast called "A podcast of unnecessary detail" A series of construction videos will come out on this channel showing all the machining steps to create your own Kingsbury tilting pad air bearing. Send me an email and introduce yourself if your interested in the construction drawings.
