To use virtualization, your computer must have support for it in its hardware,
specifically a dual (or more) core CPU with virtualization support.

If you can't fix it, you don't own it.
Yes is the short answer. From some of the other answers you can get
details.
The only real question comes in can you use canned kenimatics or are custom
ones required. Even modifying canned ones isn't to hard and this group can
always be available for consistance.

I am not sure you will see good acceleration. In fact, it is always
going to be less than 1g. This is because for any faster acceleration
the strings go slack as the weighs don't fall fast enough.
