Friction-less material?!? Almost!.........
« on: 28 November 2011, 08:01 »
In my view, this stuff looks amazing!! We’re on our way to completely friction-less surfaces!!
I've read science fiction novels from far sighted individuals mentioning friction-less materials and this could be the start!
Just imagine your car coated with this stuff, the next rainfall would just wash all contamination off in one go. Shoes never getting dirty (and totally waterproof!)
Never having to clean the dog  :laugh:

The implications are fantastic.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I believe it was a poor effort (like 90% of things he tries to perform if you read some of his posts) at humor.
