As I considered the root cause, I wondered about not just the seal failures but the cause of the seal failures.
Thoughts?
(By the way, this doesn't include the bearing shaft failures which seems fairly well understood and isn't really a failure of the bearing itself anyway).
In my mind, without going into a big discussion about angular momentum and moment of inertia that would probably just break down into drunken arguments about time travel paradoxes and string theory inconsistencies anyway, the bearing is actually doing a pretty simple job... spinning.
So whats going on?
