While cleaning the place for visitors next week, I came across a bag
full of ceramic bearings, ie, bearings in races where the bearings
themselves are ceramic and the races seem to be teflon. I forget why
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.

You can get them for fishing reels.
