I'm not talking about concentric loading of the axis but orthogonal loads say from the piston engine firing directly perpendicular to the crank shaft.

It is an idea worth looking into. Although I would guess that ceramic housing coating would do more for decreasing rotating losses.

Absolutely. I think the next step after ceramic coating the housings and rotors would be the bearings and reducing friction there. Just some thoughts though.
