The air tight seal around the joints will (by my guess) consist largely of the lubricant for the bearings and other contact surfaces where the spinning section meets the static section. The lubricant itself will have enough viscosity and cohesion that it also won't eventually try to escape too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzlebop Smith Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 There are some really cool seals in the world. I only deal in a handful of macro application but there a "Labyrinthine Seals" of different variations. I do not know what would be in place for some near future spin G system, but we have built several "expansion joints" for fluid systems that are large enough for people to walk through. There is no inherent rotational factor involved .. but the joint itself is capable. If one end or the other rotated it would function in this capacity. The expansion joint uses a labyrinthine variation. I haven't really googled space station parts, but i have seen analogous engineering application in some of the mining / pipeline products we have built.
