What happens in a human centrifuge?

We caught up with Qinetiq to find out more about their human centrifuge. Find out more about the history, what happens to the human body at 9G’s and who is using training in it.

You're gone but you're on my mind...

[@jessicca21]

Budderslayer1251 I'm lost but I don't know why...

[@Bluewolf23]

That song is why I'm here.

[@varunbhalla8]

Guys can you please tell me the name of the background song?

[@varunbhalla8]

Bluewolf 23 hey mate could you please let me know the name of this song?

[@varunbhalla8]

Budderslayer1251 are you aware of the song mate??

[@cadence8058]

Who came here after watching Agnes?

[@nothingfordarkness]

yep but it’s amazing that dave could still sing even though he probably wasn’t making noise through it

[@Ghost-zb2hd]

me lol I had no idea what tf a human centrifuge was

[@durras18]

was amazing that dave was able to sing while in this in agnes

[@Mimyakko]

Mr. Agnes.....

[@Saphrosyne.]

Mimyakko exactly what I came here for

[@avafay4962]

Mimyakko GlaSs aNimAls?

[@marix1585]

OMG ILY

[@abbysessions1133]

Mimyakko glass animals brought me here.

[@ghilcar2005]

MMHMM

[@MultiBaconGirl]

agnes

[@jexotic1470]

You were just popping percocet

[@lulumink0]

Pulling 9G, this guy is talking. Never seen that before.

[@dogonlinemusic]

i love how everyone is here from a glass animals music video lmao

[@PatchesOnPaws]

Fun fact: the music video for the song Agnes was filmed inside a human centrifuge. They had to run it 18 times because he kept getting off beat, stopped singing because of the pain, or was feeling the emotional pain of remembering Agnes herself.

[@Bella-nj7jq]

Im lost but I don't know why

[@arkatub]

How important is centrifuge training? The forces in spaceflight are well within the limits of our bodies, "chimp 65" survived 17g of acceleration in the mercury-Redstone 2 test (1961).

[@gr2742]

arkatub NS but a chimp has a different effect any way since they grow up to 50 in so vs a grown man who's idk 70 in so the force would effect both greatly by hight and weghit remember the formula of m•h•s or extelaration this could have that same principle to it even to measure g force not sure but hope this gives you an idea plus a grown man can pass out easier than the chimp if it was a g-force thing and had the same principle

[@SkucciMusic]

Actually some guy survived 83g

[@godonlyknows13]

*Important question:* What if one was to live in an environment that only offered 0.37G but they slept in a in sort of a centrifuge bed like apparatus and it spun them at around 1G for the entirety of their sleep, around 8 hours a night, lets say... what would the effects be? Would it be relatively comfortable, like sleeping on earth?

[@godonlyknows13]

Okay, new idea! Since my old idea might not pan out... what about WEIGHTED CLOTHING? But not like a little weight. I mean like a lot of weight. Clothing so heavy that it brought your comparative body weight up to or near what you'd weigh on earth?? Would this or would this not help MASSIVELY in terms of negative health effects of long-term low G environments? Am I wrong?

[@olivialandreth7037]

Absolutely insane.

[@varunbhalla8]

Can someone please tell me the name of the background music??

[@onevillageincolor608]

Usually in our Marshrutka we go around 10G's. It's normal

[@healthygamer8192]

Does it hurt???

[@TheJunbug100]

Unit 731 brought me here crazy how they used this to experiment on people

[@carmelodimaria3369]

Ultimo... Superman?!... 👍👍🇮🇹

[@elizabetharmada5335]

I've seen it first in Martin's Twitter account. .it was real

[@sambou6286]

I went on a Disney Tower of Horror ride thought it was a horror house ( with zombies..etc) unbeknown that it was a bloody Centrifuge/ lift going on a free fall on a pitch black setting lany times.... felt like 20G....when they wrote in the description ".. you will scream your SOUL out and you will PLUMMET of the DEPTHS OF DARKNESS.." They meant it literally!! never again...

[@mohammedtauqir1476]

what would happen if a person is centrifuged at the speed of 3000 RPM?

[@ant-dev]

do it and find out

[@paulg6142]

Is he breathing like that on purpose or is it the Gz making it difficult for him to breathe?

[@theiet]

I think its a technique to regulate his blood flow to stop him from passing out. At that speed the heart can't naturally pump blood to your head so without training you just pass out!

[@006kevinable1]

Wtf 9gz dang Nd he talked
