Friction can be maximized or minimized in several ways depending on the material, device construction and purpose, for example:

Minimizing friction of a circling axis can be made by bearings, which usually have rolling balls. Rolling has usually less friction than sliding.

In slide systems, friction can be minimized in various ways such as:

  1. Polishing the surface of both sliding sides (the opposite will increase friction)
  2. Adding a liquid such as oil between them. Oil fills the micro gaps on the surfaces therefore creating a slippery surface
  3. Using certain techniques, e.g. air insulation, magnetic insulation

How are you able to minimize or maximize friction?

Friction can be minimized by using lubricants between surfaces to reduce direct contact and increase smoothness. To maximize friction, increasing the roughness of surfaces in contact can help promote better grip and traction. Additionally, applying more force perpendicular to the surfaces in contact can also increase friction.


How do parachutists reduce the friction?

Parachutists reduce friction by using a smooth parachute fabric and deploying it properly to maximize air resistance, which slows down their descent. Additionally, they can also control their body position to minimize surface area exposed to the air, thereby decreasing friction.
