I want to play around with small wind turbine. I want to buy a 1 inch
ball bearing from RadioShack and use a 1 inch pvc pipe as the shaft. I
can slide the pipe into the bearing, but I can't figure out what I can
use to prevent it from sliding up and down. I want it to be as
frictionless as possible. I can just screw in a nut or something, but
that would have lots of friction and wear my bearing quickly.

A good book would be Wind Energy Basics. I bought mine at
