Sadly, yet thankfully I'm achieving orgasm more in /hr/ than any other board at the moment. Gods among men. Just don't let it get to your head. Still frucking godly.

So are these supposed to spin or something to simulate gravity using centripetal force?

Yes

No, they use centrifugal force dumass,

what is that at the end of the tube--a giant anus?

>>365453
centrifugal doesn't exist, dumbass^2

that said it would be more correct to say they use centripetal force to simulate gravity: centripetal force of whatever first put in rotation and the strength of the metal keeping it in shape.

That one's an O'Neill Cylinder, if anyone cares. They're proposed interstellar space colonies that travel to colonize some planet by fucking a lot on the way.

lol, no you dumass, centrifugal force certainly exists, what do you fink a centrifuge is?

this anon needs clarification between centripetal force and centrifugal force.

from my understanding, centripetal force is what happens when you spin a ball on a string around and centrifugal force is considered to be a fictitious force that pushes out from an axis, like when a car makes a turn, there's a "force" that pushes the car. That force really being the result of the original trajectory and the change of trajectory.

Centripetal force is what makes the rigs go around the center. Centrifugal force is what feels like gravity on the inside of the rings.

There's no such thing as centrigual force. Google it.

There is no such thing as centigual force. This is true.
HOWEVER, CENTRIFUGAL FORCE exists as a way to refer to and acknowledge the effect of inertia in respect to the effects felt on the inside ofbject effected by centripetal force.
