i'd seen this before. fell compelled to write about centripetal force versus 'fictional' centrifugal forces, but too busy.

how do these kids have a video camera and a scooter? who gives their kids video cameras? and scooters?

49 nations to press for cluster weapons ban:

Britain has already banned "dumb" cluster munitions, which wouldn't apply to the above.

I personally, don't agree with the ban. The problem is the munitions that have deployed, armed, and yet don't detonate. The "dumb" cluster bomblets typically arm by centrifugal force, flutes around the bomblets spin them in flight arming them. Failure to subsequently detonate on impact points to a problem with the design of the detonating mechanism. The solution is simple, redesign the detonators.

interesting! I don't know japanese either but it appears they are using the centrifugal force of spinning the egg rapidly to force the yolk to the outside. This makes sense because the yolk is clearly more dense than the white of the egg. I'm not sure what the incubator is for before they spin the eggs though. Maybe it is to heat the egg juuust enough to break the vitelline or something.

centrifugal clutch maybe?

Discerning Canadians don't drink much... Canadian. Just like that whole Aussies and Fosters thing.

Only Farhad's bottle hovered. Something to do with the centrifugal forces on the cat.

although it sounds funny here ... centrifugal can be pronounced both ways:
cen‧trif‧u‧gal ~ [sen-trif-yuh-guhl, -uh-guhl]

Of course he lived, they do all this stuff as standard training. All right Bob, you did the tear gas chamber, you did the centrifuge, now put on your intake helmet.

Poor girls. How were they to know that hooking a roundabout up to a motorbike engine would result in dangerously massive centrifugal force?

I hope they recovered soon (if at all).

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

The ice-tea thing is very cool. So is it the centrifugal force that keeps the tea pouring straight?

Also, this is the guy you want to have onboard when the flight attendant comes on the intercom: "Please don't be alarmed, but does anyone here know how to fly a plane?"

"The ability to slightly enrich uranium is not the same as the ability to build a bomb. For the latter, you need at least 80% enrichment, which in turn would require about 16,000 small centrifuges hooked up to cascade. Iran does not have 16,000 centrifuges. It seems to have 180. Iran is a good ten years away from having a bomb, and since its leaders, including Supreme Jurisprudent Ali Khamenei, say they do not want an atomic bomb because it is Islamically immoral, you have to wonder if they will ever have a bomb."
