How are C-Flex bearings frictionless?

How are the bearings frictionless?
In a normal bearing such as a ball bearing there are components that rub or roll against each other while being covered with a lubricant. This surface contact and fluid displacement creates resistance that drains energy from a system and generates waste heat. Since the C-Flex bearing has no contacting parts and no lubrication there is no energy loss due to friction. This allows for an extremely predictable rotation movement in response to the external force. They do require continuous energy to rotate to a certain position and hold it because of their natural self centering ability
