i found a one way bearing in work and wondered could it be used as a freewheel on a bike.
Who knows what a one way roller bearing is and how it works? heres a link... http://www.stieber.net/
Its basically a bearing that only spins one way, you could say its a free wheel with 'unlimited' engagements.
Im wondering could a freewheel be made the same way that these are made?
im not sure how much force they could take or if they would skip, does anybody know?
This could be the future of freewheels if it could handle the force!
