Abstract: Thin substrates, such as flat glass panels, are levitated on a porous media air bearing creating a pressurized film of air and preloaded against the air film by negative pressure areas. The pressure can be distributed most uniformly across the pressure areas by defusing the pressure through a porous medium. Such a bearing can be used for glass flattening by holding the glass such that the unevenness is migrated to the side opposite the side to be worked on.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cleaning, drying, coating, baking etching and deposition of surfaces on glass substrate as it transitions thru and between small gaps between hydro-static porous media bearings. Due to the non-contact nature of the device extremely high pressures can be induced upon the work piece through various fluids without damage to the substrate, allowing the system to utilize the viscous nature of fluids to accomplish the desired cleaning, drying, coating, etching or baking. The process also allows for simultaneous and immediately sequential ordering of processes.

Abstract: Using radial air bearings to support the rotor at the perimeter, vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are less expensive and faster to build. With just one moving part, the rotor, direct-drive generation may be employed to eliminate the drive line, gear box, and bearings at the generator. The bearings and generator are the lowest turbine components, allowing ground-level service. This low center-of-gravity and broad base conveniently allow for flotation. Such turbines can be manufactured onshore, towed out 30 or more miles into class 6 winds, tethered into a mooring field and plugged in. No foundation on the seafloor or assembly at sea is required. Additionally, power can be transmitted to land lines through current and retired power plants for “grid recycling”. These advantages dramatically improve the return on investment, the reliability of the energy stream and the ability to usefully locate the turbine.
