*Correction: Hard drive spindles typically use ball bearings. It is the read-write heads which ride on a cushion of air (ie they are aerodynamic bearings). Also, the spin stands used to inspect hard drive discs use air bearings.*

In this video, Adam introduces hydrodynamic bearings. He covers:
+ The pros and cons of hydrodynamic bearings
+ The construction of a hydrodynamic bearing
+ A step-by-step explanation of the operation of a hydrodynamic bearing
+ A break-down of fluid viscosity
+ Some variations on the hydrodynamic bearing: hydrostatic lift, tilting pad journal and thrust bearings, gases as lubricants
