Abstract
This paper describes some problems and results associated with the development of gas-bearing supported cryogenic turbines. Although hydrostatic (externally pressurized) bearings were used during much of the experimental work and in the developed hardware, most of the remarks and results are applicable in the case of the so-called hydrodynamic gas bearing as well.
