Another centrifuge that can be made from the toys we have in the house

This one like paperfuge, is also elegant.

This can be replicated at home even during the time of pandemic. Go open the toys box, tinker with the gears and make a centrifuge. Could the makerSpace and CUBE members work on this project together?

This is COOL.

@drishtantmkawale @jaikishan @Arunan @mayur Don’t we need to precisely moderate/regulate the speed for the centrifuge for our CUBE purposes? Like if I should rotate it at 400 rpm (rotations per minute) or 3000 rpm or 3500 rpm!?

yes. we can calibrate the device based on the gears used, and specify the range of RPM achievable for each. This itself is a great learning activity.
