WOW! At first when I saw the title of your post I was going to respond with a smart-ass comment............ BUT THIS IS REALLY COOL!

Now, the question is: How are you going to incorporate this into your truck's interior?

Hope all is well.

That is a very cool demonstration. Thanks for posting. Now I can levitate my 125# second gen doors right into position with ease. Lol!

I tried to read a bit on "quantum locking"/"quantum trapping" so that I could understand how it worked - - - - - it suffices to say that I couldn't follow it............

If anyone can explain it in more simple terms, please do.

Several chiller manufacturers are already doing something similar in their compressors. The bearings are magnetic and levitate the shaft and impellar producing a no friction bearing. The efficiencies of these machines are far above typical bearings and allows the machines to operate with absolutely no oil. How long until this is available for crankshaft mains? I don't know, but imagine the power and efficiency possible from and engine with zero bearing friction!

BTW - these chillers are not "pie in the sky". You can purchase from several vendors today.
