More realistically, it's not that hard to simulate 2 G 9.8 = V^2/r or (2*pi)^2*r*rotation rate^2. Say you have an r of one meter (should fit conveniently in your garage)...
10/12 /1 = rotation rate^2... About 1 rev/second -> 60 rpm. 12 m/s tangential velocity. That would actually get you sqrt(5) = 2.23 G For comparison, airplane props have a tangential speed at the tip close to mach 1.. 300m/s, are about 1 meter radius, and turn at 2400 RPM. It's doing zero G that is a challenge.. A big drop tower works.

Here you can see the result of some serious Gs, all applied at the same time... e*.* auction item: 160360186935 Add only $56.55 to your bid to ship the carcass. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
