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 ...
Centrifugal force is a fictitious force in Newtonian mechanics (also called an "inertial" or "pseudo" force) that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a ...
A centrifugal gun is a type of rapid-fire projectile accelerator, like a machine gun but operating on a different principle. [1] Centrifugal guns use a rapidly rotating disc to impart energy to the projectiles, gaining kinetic energy from steam, electricity or other engine source rather than gunpowder. The centrifugal gun was one of a number or ...
In 1865, he invented a simple machine for extracting honey from the comb by means of centrifugal force. [4] [5] The announcement was made at the 14th German and Austrian Beekeepers Conference in Brno (now in the Czech Republic) held from September 12 to September 14, 1865. While he shared the basic idea only with a few beekeepers the first day ...
Extractors work by centrifugal force. A drum or container holds a frame basket which spins, flinging the honey out. With this method the wax comb stays intact within the frame and can be reused by the bees. Bees cover the filled in cells with wax cap that must be removed (cut by knife, etc.) before centrifugation.
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.
In the centrifuges, the drum is a solid wall (not perforated). This type of centrifuge is used for the purification of a suspension. For the acceleration of the natural deposition, process of suspension the centrifuges use centrifugal force. With so-called overflow centrifuges, the suspension is drained off and the liquid is added constantly.
In the pump, the radial or static pressure, due to centrifugal force, is added to the tangential or dynamic, thus increasing the effective head and assisting in the expulsion of the fluid. In the motor, on the contrary, the first named pressure, being opposed to that of supply, reduces the effective head and the velocity of radial flow toward ...
