The basic idea in a centrifugal is to accelerate a pumpkin by spinning it in a circle many times, with each rotation gaining more and more momentum until it can build up enough energy to propel the pumpkin forward.
So the arm rotates faster and faster and eventually the momentum of the pumpkin is such that when the arm begins to slow, the momentum propels the pumpkin out of the cradle.
And a special release trigger is then pulled to release the pumpkin out of the cradle at the precise time.

The machine has to be designed to do this at the right time, when the pumpkin is at the peak...
