(OP)
Does anyone have experience in designing a bearing like this. If I could also have your e-mail that would be helpful.

20" @ 2,000 rpm. "no load" ??? Um, then you don't need a bearing...
Are you trying to hang something in the center of the wheel, or hold something near the outside, OD or ID, in side or outside, is wheel attached from one side, do you have access to the center of the wheel, can this thing be ugly or is it aesthetic, does it have to survive tire chains and ice build up in the winter, how about running into curbs when parking? Does the wheel steer? How will you attach this to the rim?
You'll find that, in general, wheels and most rotating things have bearings near the center at the smallest diameter possible for VERY good reasons that will not change with new materials.
Now, if you were to build a linear motor wrapped around the rim, that would be interesting, but very difficult to weatherproof.

considered. A pancake style might work, but what
ever, because of the rpm and sound requirements,
I would think it would want to be very thin and
simple. If a teflon ring was designed and had
several metal elements imbedded in its perifery
to give it centrifical force to keep it spinning,
I think this would work. Sorry about the first
blank post. You might only need a teflon ring
formed to fit over on inside a small flange.

Later on we may discuss the engineering problems you will have to overcome to make this actually work. I figure 20 inch wheel dia plus an allowance for tire sidewall works out to about 178 mph?
