Abstract
Abstract A new bearing concept is described which offers the almost unlimited life of the fluid film bearing combined with the free starting, stopping, and oil system failure characteristics of the rolling element bearing. This new bearing type is termed the Hybrid Boost Bearing. It is envisioned as having application in jet engines to extend bearing life, and in land turbine equipment as a means of providing high overload capacity.
