Diamond turning an air bearing shaft
Diamond turning an air bearing shaft on a CNC Moore #3 base, using a Royal air chuck. We diamond turn these shafts prior to hardcoating. This machine was originally a fiber optic connector grinder at ADC. The spindle is a motorized 4R Blockhead Twin-Mount.
Liquid mirror telescope
This 3 meter telescope uses a spinning pool of mercury to make a perfect mirror. It was used by the US Air Force to look for space junk. The spindle is a motorized 10R Blockhead air bearing spindle, manufactured by Professional Instruments Company in Hopkins Minnesota. See more at www.airbearings.com and www.astro.ubc.ca

Celestial Air-Bearing Test 1
this is the celestial air-bearing, weighing in at approximately 1200lbs. the attitude control systems for a mission are mounted at one side, and ballast on the other. high pressure air levitates the central ball allowing the payload to move freely. you can actually move it quite easily with one finger. pressurized nitrogen gas provides the oomph for several thrusters. during testing, the lights are killed and the thrusters point the rocket according to flight requirements. often a columnator ...
