Once again, Drew does a comprehensive explanation.

Is it possible to use this system outdoors? Will it work even in rainy season and/or dust and other natural elements?

I suspect there might be at least some market selling these to DIYers who want to improve the performance of their mini lathes, Mills, 3D Printers, XY Gantry Router Tables, X/Y Laser tables, etc. I think I've seen some such users attempting to DIY their own air bearings out of graphite.

I think I’ve seen that too

These might be a few orders of magnitude out of the price of most DIYers

@@EvanZalys For the stage, yes, I agree, but the bearings themselves if you type New Way Air Bearings into Google I'm seeing some examples under $200 each.
