Futuristic Flight: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and the Power of Ball Bearing Propulsion

Abstract

Ball bearings have revolutionized the sectors of Aerospace Engineering, Marine Engineering, Automotive Engineering, and many others. Their job is to reduce friction in mechanical rotations, while electrical motors rely on electromagnetism for movement. There is also growing interest in Rim Thrusters, which are hubless and aim to revolutionize the propulsion industry. A ball bearing propulsion system's unique design, taking the shape of a ball bearing, is said to be more efficient than hubs as well as rim thrusters.
