A couple of commenters expressed concern over the use of centrifugal force after my rant on the use of the word force. So, what is the deal with these two terms? Are they ok to use? Are they real ...

Learn the key differences between centripetal and centrifugal forces, their real-world applications in physics, and how they shape our understanding of circular motion. When you purchase through links ...

I first learned in high school physics about the myth of centrifugal force. On paper and in theory, it’s a very real force, one that pulls you away from something. The term comes up in the automotive ...

When humanity first started studying motion, circles posed a peculiar puzzle. Why do planets sweep endlessly around the Sun without flying off into the void of space? Why does a stone swung on a ...

We recently sat down with Vortech Superchargers and talked boost. We posted some photos to the HOT ROD Facebook page, and when you guys weren't arguing with us that the picture was a turbo, you had ...

Centrifugal Magnetic Mirrors could enable commercial nuclear fusion reactors on Earth and are also promising for next level propulsion in space. There is funded near term work for both goals. An early ...

Superchargers can take a vehicle's performance to another level. Here's a breakdown of the differences between centrifugal, roots, and twin-screw superchargers.

A centrifugal gun is a type of rapid-fire projectile accelerator, like a machine gun but operating on a different principle. Centrifugal guns use a rapidly rotating disc to impart energy to the ...

The centrifugal-advance mechanism within an ignition distributor can seem scary and mysterious to hobbyists. Some believe years of schooling, decades of experience, and professional tuning equipment ...

For several years as of this writing, stories have circulated on the internet about an odd, perhaps comical idea: a machine that spins a woman in circles, thus using centrifugal force to aid in ...
