Hello,

I find this a very interesting product:

It claims that it's fans "levitate".

* NOT true; use your eyes and whatever brain you got, and re-READ
carefully for comprehension.
It is a magnetic bearing,nothing new, been around for a long time.
Stronger magnetic field, so better physical isolation.


Does this mean it no longer requires any oil and thus no more cleaning
because of dust+oil+black smoke stuff frictions ?

I consider this a major breakthrough, now PCs won't require any more oil
to function.

Perhaps oil to produce them, but after that, no more oil needed LOL.

Such a re-assurance ! Really it's very nice to know. In case the oil
runs out some day ! LOL.

Bye,
Skybuck.
