This paper gives a brief investigation of the concept of the acoustic bearing, the force of which is based on radiation pressure of a resonating sound wave. Of the principal configurations possible, a cylindrical geometry with plates on the ends of the cylinder was considered to be the most suitable. Output ratios of the order of 2640 d/w are shown to be obtainable. Experimentation reached a resonant amplification of 80; ways are shown by which amplifications of around 100 can be achieved. Beyond that internal absorption losses and cavitation present formidable obstacles which, at this point, cannot be overcome.
