  2. History of centrifugal and centripetal forces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_centrifugal_and...

    Since the centrifugal force of the parts of the earth, arising from the earth's diurnal motion, which is to the force of gravity as 1 to 289, raises the waters under the equator to a height exceeding that under the poles by 85472 Paris feet, as above, in Prop. XIX., the force of the sun, which we have now shewed to be to the force of gravity as ...

  3. Wilbur R. Franks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilbur_R._Franks

    Franks had noted that his test tubes often broke when subjected to severe centrifugal force. He had solved the problem by first inserting them into larger and stronger liquid-filled bottles. In 1940, the anti gravity suit was developed under the name Franks Flying Suit by Wilbur R. Franks and his colleagues at the Banting and Best Medical ...

  4. Centrifugal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force

    By contrast, in an inertial frame, the observed effects arise as a consequence of the inertia and the known forces without the need to introduce a centrifugal force. Based on this argument, the privileged frame, wherein the laws of physics take on the simplest form, is a stationary frame in which no fictitious forces need to be invoked.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein's_thought_experiments

    By 1912, Einstein had become convinced of a close relationship between gravitation and pseudo-forces such as centrifugal force: Such a system K , according to the equivalence principle, is strictly equivalent to a system at rest in which a matter-free static gravitational field of a certain kind exists.

    Sablukov is credited with the invention of the centrifugal fan (1832) and contribution to the development of the centrifugal pump. See also. List of Russian inventors;

    A bad one. In 2002, the BBC wrote that Leonardo da Vinci made sure his war inventions would fail, possibly because he identified as a pacifist. But because he made his living sketching out ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_turbine

    One proposed application for the device is a waste pump, in factories and mills where normal vane-type turbine pumps typically become fouled. Applications of the Tesla turbine as a multiple-disk centrifugal blood pump have yielded promising results due to the low peak shear force. [ 17 ]

  9. Centrifuge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifuge

    A centrifuge is a device that uses centrifugal force to subject a specimen to a specified constant force - for example, to separate various components of a fluid. This is achieved by spinning the fluid at high speed within a container, thereby separating fluids of different densities (e.g. cream from milk) or liquids from solids. It works by ...
