Friction losses

Concern:
Higher bearing area of smaller machinery

Solutions:
(A) needing much less nanomachinery due to the scaling law of higher throughput of smaller machinery
(B) Increasing bearing area to decrease friction …
… using the scaling law of hundredfold smaller frictionlosses from tenfold slowdown
… via things like infinitesimal bearings and metamaterials employing such principles.
