==ASYMMETRIC GAS BEARING BUSHING FOR THERMO-PUMP - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18420359 titled 'ASYMMETRIC GAS BEARING BUSHING FOR THERMO-PUMP

The abstract describes a gas bearing system consisting of a cylinder with an inner radius, a piston with a smaller radius located within the cylinder, and a gas bearing radius that is greater than the piston radius but less than the inner cylinder radius. The system includes a gap filled with pressurized gas to prevent contact between the cylinder and the piston, with a gas bearing interface controlling the size of the gap.

* Gas bearing system with cylinder, piston, and gas bearing radius
* Pressurized gas in the gap prevents contact between cylinder and piston
* Gas bearing interface controls the size of the gap

==Original Abstract Submitted==

A gas bearing is disclosed. The gas bearing may include a cylinder with an inner cylinder radius. The gas bearing may include a piston with a piston radius, wherein the inner cylinder radius is larger than the piston radius, wherein the piston is located within the cylinder. The gas bearing may include a gas bearing radius, wherein the gas bearing radius is greater than the piston radius and less than the inner cylinder radius. The gas bearing may include a gap that exists between the cylinder and the piston, wherein the gap contains a pressurized gas, the pressurized gas configured to prevent contact between the cylinder and the piston. The gas bearing may include a gas bearing interface, wherein the gas bearing interface is positioned to control a size of the gap.
