Laboratory Centrifuge

Centrifuges demonstrate the exciting and often misunderstood physics phenomena of centripetal and centrifugal "forces". They are also used in a range of practical applications for the separation of substances with different densities. This centrifuge, built in the style of the early hand-operated lab centrifuges, allows the builder to learn more about how these forces operate, while the included test tubes can be filled with studs of different colours to simulate liquid chemicals within.
