use aluminum axels and create large enough holes for the whelles to spin. Watch out for the rough edges in the hole.
Graphite powder is an awesome lubricant, use it in the axles tubes,(depending how the car is made), if it doesn't have axle tubes, adding them would greatly reduce frictions, basically glue in a straw that is slightly bigger than your axles then put the powdered graphite and its like a slick bearing now, just don't use anything wet, stick with dry lube..
two axles
Too much causes fires. It's ultimately going to turn all transferable energy into unusable heat. It can build up static electricity on you and cause a shock when you touch metal. It is constantly slowing down your bike, skateboard, scooter, etc. It keeps dirt in the middle of the floor, causing the need to vacuum it up.
the vehicles carrying heavy loads are provided with multi-wheel axles to increase the area and decrease the pressure.

put a penny in itbuy a boat also unnownyou can put something like duck tape or a balloon on the edge of the wheel to make it go faster
Because they're a good way to reduce friction and help wheels and axles to spin smoothly and effortlessly.
Wheels and axles help reduce friction and allow a heavy objects like a car to move around easily.
Lubricants such as oil, grease, and graphite are commonly used. However, simply keeping a liquid coating (even water) may help reduce friction. In many applications, surfaces can be made with very smooth substances such as polished metal, ceramics, or teflon.
Absolutely, as there is air resistance, the stickiness of the car's wheels, and the friction of the axles turning the wheels.

There is a lot of friction associated with vehicles. A biggie is friction with air, to which the term drag is applied. There is friction in all the moving parts in the power train through the engine, the transmission and the differential. That friction also extends out the axles to the wheels, and it is particularly evident where the rubber meets the road. That covers most of it.
The best way to reduce friction in any situation would be to improve your tyres. Slicks will help you go faster but may compromise on grip. Making sure that the tyre is as round as possible during runs also reduces friction. If you see a large portion of the wheel being 'flat' while the car is in motion, it means that a greater area of the tyre is in contact with the ground and hence, there is more friction. Also make sure that the joints between the wheels and the axles are greased so that there's no friction there. If what you're trying to do is make your car go faster, you could consider working on its aerodynamics. Installing parts that smoothen the flow of air along the body and removing those that disrupt it should show you improved results.
A compound gear train connects gears that may share axles or shafts, basically two gears rotating on the same axle, not necessarily at the same speed.
On longer axles they are split with a carrier bearing in the middle to reduce vibration.
Same as on a car. Applying the brakes means that something stationary is pressed against a moving part. This generates friction, which turns speed into heat.It produces friction, because when the brake touches the rim of the bicycle, the bicycle slows down. (thats called friction) And after a while the bicycle stopsA stationary part is brought into contact with a rotating part. The resulting friction slows the bike down.
