# Ball bearing motor

A ball bearing motor or ball-race motor consists simply of a small ball- bearing assembly with provision for passing current radially between inner and outer tracks to produce circular motion.

## Explanation

A ball bearing motor is an unusual electric motor that consists of two ball-bearing-type bearings, with the inner races mounted on a common conductive shaft, and the outer races connected to a high current, low voltage power supply. An alternative construction fits the outer races inside a metal tube, while the inner races are mounted on a shaft with a non-conductive section (e.g. two sleeves on an insulating rod). This method has the advantage that the tube will act as a flywheel. The motor rarely starts without assistance, having effectively zero static torque, but once rotation begins the motor will accelerate until it reaches a steady speed, the direction of rotation is determined by the initial spin. Although ball bearing motors can reach reasonably high speeds they are very inefficient. Producing significant torque typically requires so much power that the bearings are heated to several hundred degrees.

## Theory

There are multiple explanations of the effect, see the large bibliography in McDonald's work.
In 1965 Electronics and Power magazine published a letter by RH Barker asking for an explanation of how this type of motor worked. At the time various explanations had been offered. S. Marinov suggests that the device produces motion from electricity without magnetism being involved, operating purely by the resistance heating causing an asymmetric thermal expansion of the balls in the bearings as they rotate. The same explanation is given by Watson, Patel and Sedcole for rotating cylinders (instead of balls). However, H. Gruenberg has given a thorough theoretical explanation based on pure electromagnetism (and neglecting the thermal effects completely). Also, P. Hatzikonstantinou and P. G. Moyssides claim to have found an excellent agreement between the results from the electromagnetic theory and the experiments measuring the total power and efficiency of the motor.

# HMS Saltash (J62)

HMS Saltash (J62) was a Hunt-class minesweeper of the Aberdare sub-class built for the Royal Navy during World War I. She was not finished in time to participate in the First World War and survived the Second World War to be sold for scrap in 1947.

## Design and description

The Aberdare sub-class were enlarged versions of the original Hunt-class ships with a more powerful armament. The ships displaced 800 long tons (810 t) at normal load. They had a length between perpendiculars of 220 feet (67.1 m) and measured 231 feet (70.4 m) long overall. The Aberdares had a beam of 26 feet 6 inches (8.1 m) and a draught of 7 feet 6 inches (2.3 m). The ships' complement consisted of 74 officers and ratings.
The ships had two vertical triple-expansion steam engines, each driving one shaft, using steam provided by two Yarrow boilers. The engines produced a total of 2,200 indicated horsepower (1,600 kW) and gave a maximum speed of 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph). They carried a maximum of 185 long tons (188 t) of coal which gave them a range of 1,500 nautical miles (2,800 km; 1,700 mi) at 15 knots (28 km/h; 17 mph).
The Aberdare sub-class was armed with a quick-firing (QF) four-inch (102 mm) gun forward of the bridge and a QF twelve-pounder (76.2 mm) anti-aircraft gun aft. Some ships were fitted with six- or three-pounder guns in lieu of the twelve-pounder.

## Construction and career

Saltash, named after the town of Saltash in south-east Cornwall, was built by Murdoch and Murray of Port Glasgow, launched 25 June 1918 and served through the last few months of World War I as well as through all of World War II. She was involved in the evacuation of Dunkirk, during which, on 1 June 1940, she took on board the crew of HMS Havant, that ship having been heavily damaged by German aircraft after they had successfully evacuated some 3,000 troops themselves.
Saltash later returned to northern France as part of the Normandy landings in 1944. She was decommissioned on 13 March 1947.
A fictitious HMS Saltash appears in Nicholas Monsarrat's novel of the Royal Navy during World War II, The Cruel Sea.
# Peter Aksamit of Liderovice

Peter Aksamit of Liderovice (Czech: Petr Aksamit z Liderovic; c. 1400 – 21 May 1458) was a Czech nobleman, Hussite and hetman of Bratříci (former Hussite warriors).

## Life

Peter Aksamit was probably born around 1400 in Liderovice (today part of Chotoviny), in southern Bohemia. According to some sources, he took part in the Battle of Lipany. However, his activities in his youth are not very well known. Around 1440, he went to Upper Hungary, where from 1443, under the command of John Jiskra of Brandýs – a Hussite general, a subject of the Hungarian king Ladislaus the Posthumous, he served as captain of Spiš Castle. In 1451, his troops numbered around 5,000 soldiers. They plundered many settlements and monasteries – the Camaldolese in Červený Kláštor and the Premonstratensians in Jasov. In the years 1447–1451, they also regularly attacked trade caravans heading to Poland. At that time, the papal legate Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini (future Pope Pius II) wrote about him: "He is a Czech from lowly parents", but at the same time he adds "He is nevertheless a brave man, talented not only in dexterity, but also in mental balance, hard-working, not avoiding work but also danger". In 1453, Aksamit renounced obedience to Jiskra and gained independence. This decision resulted in sending Hungarian troops of Ladislaus Hunyadi against him, which a few months later besieged and captured his previous seat – Spiš Castle. However, he soon managed to reach an agreement with the Hungarians and, as a royal subject, was appointed captain at the castle in Plavec. After the death of Ladislaus the Posthumous, he supported the election of Matthias Corvinus to the Hungarian throne, but came into conflict with him, which ended with his troops participating in the Battle of Sárospatak. The battle took place on May 21, 1458, and ended in a defeat for the Hussite forces. Peter Aksamit himself, who commanded a 600-strong unit of Bratříci, was also killed in the battle. It is likely that Aksamit's troops participated in the Battle of Sárospatak by accident, and the commander himself was heading with his troops on a plundering expedition in the area of the Tisza River.

## Commemoration

The longest cave in the Pieniny Mountains is called Aksamitka. It was named in memory of Peter Aksamit's troops stationed in nearby Haligovce, who – as Onufry Trembecki reported in 1861 – was supposed to have ... his main maidan here, from where he kept the entire Hungarian foothills at bay. The Hungarian governor, Zapolya, with a general levy, managed to subdue him only after a second attempt. Near Haligovce there is also a mountain of the same name, on the top of which in 1458 there was supposed to be a camp and the Bratříci main base of operations.

## Nickname

Peter Aksamit probably gained his nickname because of his love of aristocratic clothing. According to another version, he gained it in memory of taking a velvet coat from his Polish master. During his life, he signed as: "Peter Aksamit from Kosov, commander-in-chief of the Bratříci, residing in the Zelená Hora camp near Hrabušice and at the Plaveč Castle".

# State Highway 79 (New Zealand)

State Highway 79 (SH 79) is a New Zealand state highway connecting the South Canterbury communities of Rangitata, Geraldine, and Fairlie. Starting at State Highway 1 the highway is 61 kilometres in length and runs in a general east–west direction. 6.3 km of the highway through Geraldine runs concurrently with the Inland Scenic Route, formerly State Highway 72. The road is a two-lane single carriageway, with a one-lane bridge crossing the Orari River.
It is an important tourist highway, and forms part of the most direct route between Christchurch and the Mackenzie Country, Aoraki / Mount Cook and Queenstown/Wānaka.

## Route

The highway starts on the Canterbury Plains and proceeds in a north-westerly direction. The highway then intersects with the Inland Scenic Route and crosses the Orari River. The highway then veers to the south and arrives in Geraldine. In the town centre, SH 79 turns right and passes through the southern sections of the township before veering to the west towards the foothills. The road gradually passes through sections of pine forest and farmlands and is generally hilly and curvy in some spots before descending into the township of Fairlie.
