centrifuge
Introduction
The orientation of the Hyper-G-Centrifuge is double tracked.
On one hand there is a strong scientific interest using the centrifuge for experiments carried out previously under microgravity condition at the Drop Tower or for instance to accurately simulate real world problems using small scale models, i.e. problems such as earthquakes.
On the other hand it is a unique facility for the testing and qualification of aerospace components and subsystems with respect to ISO 2669 “Environmental Tests for Aircraft Equipment - Steady State Acceleration” and EUROCAE ED-14D/RTCA DO-160D.
For both purposes the centrifuge at ZARM offers a unique experimental set-up that provides full access and control during the testing phase that might even last for weeks or months. Due to a slip ring offering nearly all imaginable links it is possible to design experiments that have neither drawbacks nor limitations compared to a common experimental set-up.
