Bearings use dry self-lubricating cage materials

Rolling element bearings in spacecraft mechanical systems use solid lubricant composites of polytetrafluoroethylene in the bearing cage which functions as the lubricant reservoir. The cage spaces the rolling elements equally and provides the lubricant at the bearing load-carrying surface.

Dry-frictional shock absorber

Kinetic energy absorber that can safely decelerate a vehicle as it impacts a surface affords minimum rebound, is lightweight and compact, and needs no lubrication or hydraulic fluids.

Modification of physical properties of freeze-dried rice

Freeze cycling process consists of alternately freezing and thawing precooked rice for two cycles, rice is then frozen and freeze-dehydrated in vacuum sufficient to remove water from rice by sublimitation. Process modifies rice grain structure and porosity, enabling complete rehydration in one minute in hot water.
