While cleaning the place for visitors next week, I came across a bag
full of ceramic bearings, ie, bearings in races where the bearings

we bought them but for salt water apps, they'd be great. Supposedly do
not need lube. *So, can anybody think of any apps for similar bearings?


Yep, lube free, heat resistant, and so smooth that there is a power
savings over steel ball bearings.
