The energy lost to friction, at any looked at rpm, numbers are what they are.
The question is what do they become, IF according the (lying? conniving? supposed?) scientists at Argonne National Labs you were able to: "...the friction coefficients are reduced by 10 to over 1000% below those of the unmixed lubricant itself.."
WHY
is it necessary for yet another research institute to prove to you
what you can easily prove too yourself:
Lets say you have a tired ball bearing lying around.
You pop of the seals. (as described all over the net)
You oil it with a mixture of oil and Boric powder and a bit of hot water.
(I'd give instructions if anyone cared)
You spin it with a drilling machine or something, while adding enough heat, or preferably steam, to keep the water simmering off to condition it.
You see if it worked.
Old computer fans.
Near death from age/wear lawn mowers.
etc.
All sorts of things will suffice.
You can prove to YOU if it works.
The only real problem some may have with such an endeavor is the possibility that it may well work..?
