Two North Korean mechanical engineers have made an amazing superconductive magnetic breakthrough that will render bearings obsolete for inline skaters.  Mechanical engineers Kim Bo-shat and Tota Ree-yokng of the University of Kim Jong-il in Pyongyang have discovered an anomaly in magnetic conductivity that eliminates the need for the ball bearing as we know it today.

Everything about a bearing today screams resistance and unnecessary weight.  There’s resistance between the bearing and the raceway and between the bearing and the derlin cage.  The dustcovers and derlin cage add unnecessary weight.  The combined package reduces roll time, requires maintenance and suffers from wear and tear.

The new Magnetoglide eliminates the need for bearings, derlin cages, dustcovers and faceplates which means the only thing that can reduce roll time for a skater now is wind, poor road surfaces or a hill.  This breakthrough in magnetic technology is like cylindrical magnetic levitation, but it’s based on an anomaly in the covariant formulation of classical electromagneticism–it creates a hyper-amplified form of paramagnetism and diamagnetism.

These amplified forms of magnetism were applied separately in the lab to the inner and outer rings of ferritic and martensitic stainless steel skate bearings.  In a traditional bearing structure the ball bearing rolls on the raceway and maintains an equidistant space between the inner and outer ring and thus maintains a consistent overall inner and outer diameter.  In the new structure the hyper-amplified magnetic resistance between the inner and outer rings were set to a controlled magnetomotive force to create a field strong enough to support over 2,000 foot pounds of pressure. 

It has been successfully tested laterally, horizontally or diagonally and has maintained a consistent diameter; it is strong enough and durable enough for any skater and venue.  Time trials have shown race time reductions of up to 35% when compared to traditional bearings.  Maintenance is virtually unnecessary. 

Sugob Industries, Inc. has acquired rights to the patent and will begin manufacturing in 2013.  Costs are expected to be 10% to 20% above traditional bearing costs.  For more information go to www.sugob.com/Magnetoglide/issatire/ifyoubelievethis/dontbesogullible.pdf.
