Lavfriksjon
Lavfriksjon, meaning "low friction" in Swedish, is a concept primarily associated with the design and functionality of certain types of skates and sliding surfaces. It refers to the reduction of resistance encountered when one surface moves over another. In the context of sports, particularly ice skating, lavfriksjon blades are engineered to minimize the friction between the blade and the ice, allowing for greater speed and efficiency. This is often achieved through specific material choices, blade geometry, and surface treatments.
The underlying principle of lavfriksjon is to make the sliding process as smooth as possible. In ice
