Hundredfold smaller frictionlosses from tenfold slowdown

This article is a stub. It needs to be expanded.

Dynamic friction (as present in atomically precise diamondoid slide bearings) scales to the square with speed.
So there is a lot to be gained by slowing down.

And deliberate slowdown at the lower assembly levels slowdown can be afforded
due to higher throughput of smaller machinery.

  • Mesoscale friction: Possibly a limit to that scaling law as
    macroscale friction does not scale with speed and slide-bearing-area
    but rather with normal-load-force only. Times friction coefficient times speed.
