"Hypro" bearing
posted by simmo at 2005-10-31 02:49

simmo: seems like a type of fluid bearing
simmo1: longer life, quieter, and cheaper than sleeve or ball bearings
simmo1: more on ball vs sleeve bearings
simmo97: article on foil-air bearings, including a nice diagram
simmo97: seems that for some bearing types used to gain low noise, there is a tradeoff in terms of the range of operating rpm, and that underclocking some types of fans could lead to a shorter lifespan
simmo97: some theory including equations and graphs on heat dissipation, cooling for cpu fans and heatsinks
simmo97: and so on
