  2. Centrifugal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force

    Earth's gravity is a bit stronger at the poles than at the equator, because the Earth is not a perfect sphere, so an object at the poles is slightly closer to the center of the Earth than one at the equator; this effect combines with the centrifugal force to produce the observed weight difference. [20]

  3. Centrifugal pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump

    Self-Priming centrifugal pumps were invented in 1935. One of the first companies to market a self-priming centrifugal pump was American Marsh in 1938. [citation needed] Centrifugal pumps that are not designed with an internal or external self-priming stage can only start to pump the fluid after the pump has initially been primed with the fluid.

  4. Centrifugation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugation

    Ultracentrifugation makes use of high centrifugal force for studying properties of biological particles at exceptionally high speeds. Current ultracentrifuges can spin to as much as 150,000 rpm (equivalent to 1,000,000 x g). [12]

    1.no axial coupling to driver,and no axial noise,no abrasive! 2.freely run,advancing or back run,as soon as tuch a key. 3.no use traditional centrifugl leaves,use a speral ,but hubless,so have great active power,its output add,following its input current adding 4.its working noise can near 0db 5.it can freely install anywhere position,because ...

  6. Gas centrifuge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_centrifuge

    Diagram of a gas centrifuge with countercurrent flow, used for separating isotopes of uranium. A gas centrifuge is a device that performs isotope separation of gases. A centrifuge relies on the principles of centrifugal force accelerating molecules so that particles of different masses are physically separated in a gradient along the radius of a rotating container.

  7. Centrifugal switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_switch

    Centrifugal switches were also used in early electric fans, particularly those made in the 1900s and early 1910s. [citation needed] In aircraft, a centrifugal switch is used to control the starting and ignition circuits, the governed speed indication circuit and the overspeed protection circuit of the auxiliary power unit. This switch is ...

  8. Centrifugal clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_clutch

    A centrifugal clutch shown in a patent application, 1898. Centrifugal clutches were used in railway locomotives before 1858, [1] and referred to (in relation to electric motors) in a patent of 1899. [2] A patent was issued in the United States for an automotive centrifugal clutch (on an electric vehicle) in 1898. [3]

  9. Rotating spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_spheres

    Only for the truly non-rotating observer will the tension in the string be explained using only the observed rate of rotation. For all other observers a "correction" is required (a centrifugal force) that accounts for the tension calculated being different from the one expected using the observed rate of rotation. [1]
