Re: Dean Kamen on The Colbert Report (April 5th, 2010)
I am an engineer for Kaydon, a manufacturer of specialty "thin section" bearings. This morning I got a call from one of the engineers at DEKA. Apparently the Luke arm uses our bearings, and he wanted to spec out a modified version for the next generation of the arm. It is very gratifying to play even a small role in something as cool as this.
Many years ago I worked on some bearings for Dave Lavery's "other car".
