Man-carrying centrifuge at Farnborough - 10G Test Spin

[dodgingdaniel]

What happens if someone came through the door?

[Respecthebrotherhood]

That is not 9 Gs is it

[AlmightyGregor]

1)How much cost that machine??

2)Would it be possible to stand in it?

[KizzyRad884]

a pilot is holding on for dear life a 10g let alone 30g.

[dtiydr]

Always wondered what power needed for that insane acceleration of this mass.. now i know 1 MW..

[svernond]

@dtiydr 1.21 JigaWatts - Great Scott!!

[dtiydr]

@svernond Where did you get that number from?

[GOapeshit14]

@svernond lmao. where did you see 1.21"JigaWatts"

[thomm030]

i woulve turned sick at 15 secs, wat!

[OwnedSi9]

If someone open that doors when centrifuge is spinning it would hurt

[kurtilein3]

@OwnedSi9

the door is designed so that it cannot hit the moving centrifuge, and the hurricane-like wind pushes the door closed, so when there is too much wind you will have big trouble trying to open that door.

[bunny153649]

Can that thing malfunction and keep spinning faster and faster until someone dies?

[kurtilein3]

@bunny153649

no. the way you control the output of mechanical energy from an electric motor is by controlling the electrical energy that goes in. and you can limit that with fuses that burn through and stop the flow of electricity if certain tresholds are surpassed. also its controlled electronically, and im sure that there are big red buttons that deactivate everything other than brakes and diagnostics when pushed, by disrupting the circuits. its easy to make safe, with redundancy.

[iMaDeMoN2012]

I went to the fair with my friends. There was no line for this large indoor centrifuge. Inside it was hot, dark and stuffy. The ride gets moving and a minute passes, I expect to start slowing down. After two minutes I start feeling sick. I realize there no way out, I imagine this is how it feels to be buried alive. I'm constricted to the wall, feverish, no amount of screaming can save me. The operator thought he was doing us a favor, he left us in there for 15 minutes.

[ForDoverUSA]

holy shit.

[noone309]

merry go around with nitro

[planetrob555]

Wow...the wind really gets swirling in that room when that thing is going. You can hear it on the video's audio, and when the guy walks into the room there at the end, his hair is getting blown like crazy.

[grimslider]

u must be this high 0-(shit!)

[dangerouswater]

I wonder if anyone by accident opened the room door while that thing was spinning...."Sorry, wrong roooooooooooooooooooo...."

[Spedster777]

This thing is small and weak compared to the one at Johnsville, Pennsylvania. It is the largest and most powerful centrifuge in the world- and I get to be around it every week.

[kxrider70]

@Cosmicboy37 lol



[MrSEEbeeARE]

@Cosmicboy37 im pretty sure all of their organs would be in their feet before that was able to launch them to the moon.

[MrSEEbeeARE]

then someone walks out the door.

[z1003]

@MrSEEbeeARE hahahaha

[AlitaAngel]

Vegeta stands 410G.

[TheEgg185]

lol. imagine opening the door (on the right) while that thing is spinning.

[TheEgg185]

1 wanna see 30.

[someting29]

seems like fun

[rolfen]

Why this wind noise even after it stops spinning?

[wackosammy]

@rolfen It basicly creates a whirl wind

[learber]

Powered by chuck norris.

[quangluu96]

Mr. Incredible can sleep with 30 Gs lol

[ZERG107]

Holy shit. Could you imagine getting hit my that thing?!

That'd be awesome.

[oTechnical]

Chuck Norris can walk faster than that.

[195jordan]

Does anybody know whats the minumum amount of G's that could kill a human for an average person if that is possible ?

[Spedster777]

@195jordan 40 G instantly kills somebody- The Johnsville Centrifuge can go up to 60 Gs!

[MrBangCoi]

This machine is FUCKING AWESOME! I can't stay in this just for 1 second

[saeedaltal]

The 5 G Force push 5 times your weight on your head and push the blood down to your feet, so when you say 9G that means your weight is 70 * 9 = 630 kg pushing your head per second !!! most of people pass out when they face 4 G

[Nesnej1501]

30 g's WOWWWW superman would black out too.

[derzugfahrer]

that really creepy! must be a torture when youre inside this...

[CoastRider1975]

This machine ought to be used to liquidise all paedophiles, killer terrorists, murderers, drug dealers, burglars, rapists, and Tony Blair, and then feed the mashed remains to the rest of the prison population as a warning.

Would like to see that one getting past the 'Uman Rights law.

[weirdone17]

they should have one of these in cedar point! XD

[rapidkey1]

Dear Santa...

[NobleEagle1]

that looks fun

[xboostx88]

imagine that thing spinning 10g and hits you

[GrandyRopless1]

@xboostx88 aw, FUCK :O

[Blackivar]

man if you put me in that thing id be taggin the walls with chuke while i was in there at full pelt!

[oscarfouz23]

i want to be the best airforce pilot when i grow up i must begeing my traning as a child on roller costers lol

[oscarfouz23]

they should make g recistance suits

[thepotentielhunter]

@oscarfouz23 they already do...

[mrkidd1]

if i put a dog in that machine at 50 g what would happen

[Mac4ever101]

it would die because humans can hardly survive and dogs' heart muscles are weaker than ours they just wouldnt be able to breath....

[97PAC2]

@mrkidd1 do you want to kill the dog???

[jirm9]

are the g forces pushing from your front to your back, or from your head to your feet. how are they positioned in the capsule when they're spinning? anyone know for sure? Linear G would be like accelerating in a straight line in a car, positive g would be like accelerating straight up in the air forceing the blood from your head.

[prroberts154]

This machine simulates the G forces experienced when an aircraft turns. The centrifuge subject sits in a Martin Baker ejector seat - as he would in an aircraft. The G force acts vertically downwards. This makes it hard for the heart to keep pumping blood up to your brain. If the G force overcomes the blood supply, you will first lose vision, then consciousness - not a good plan when flying an aircraft. This centrifuge was designed to research the effects of G on humans.

[emme114]

@prroberts154 If it was designed for humans why make it capable of 30g? As far as i know, being exposed to a constant 14g can already kill you.

[Spedster777]

@emme114 The Johnsville Centrifuge can hit 60 G, they never go that high though because 40 can instantly kill someone.

[TheBigRedTom]

@prroberts154 Why not put the pilot upside down in the plane? :D im guessing that the opposite effect is just as disastrous (and a lot more messy!)

[oscarfouz23]

@jirm9 umm depends what way u fly if you fly upwards all your blood will flow to your feet/legs no blood in your brain so you pass out until the blood reaches your brain aging if your going down no prob all the blood will be in your brain am only 14 ama join the airforce i know lots lol XD

[adamski895RS]

a man died at 16g because of crushed organs

[ICEInterphace]

if u are 80KG at 30G u are 2400 KG even half of that is insance most likly u wlud crush ur bonnes

[zep123dmc]

it's designed for a maximum of 30G... WOW

[NideRiot]

Thats not for humans.

[prroberts154]

Oh yes it is!

[NideRiot]

I mean 30g is not for humans. You state that it is?

[prroberts154]

You are right, no human could survive 30G - but they didn't know that when the machine was built. Check out the Farnborough Air Shows of the 1950's. Lots of british aircraft, some interesting designs, and remember, at times it was dangerous for the audience as well as the pilots!

[minec123]

@prroberts154 wasnt there some dude who could take 45g's going backwards

[Botev1912Botev]

@NideRiot im out at 1 g :D

[DrStrangebomb1993]

@NideRiot That's for Chuck Norris.

[k2477456]

@NideRiot haha yeah it is;P

[prroberts154]

Remember that it was designed to do that back in the early 1950s. Now figure that the Typhoon Eurofighter (the R.A.F.'s latest) gets to about 14G.

[AntDX316]

@zep123dmc yeah, when I read that I was like oh !@#$

[a1dzcannon]

@zep123dmc type in John Stapp - he withstands 46.2G and that was in the late 1940's he goes from 1000km/h too 0 in less than 2 seconds and bursts every blood vessel in his eye, he lost his vision for the first day but it slowly came back and he gain blisters over his body from dust particles hitting him at that speed even through the suit he was wearing

[TheXxVIP3RxX]

@zep123dmc that would probably put your brain through your feet
