Rode it several times, love it, or at least the old version. I'm not sure if it's any different though... :D :D!! LET'S GO spinny thing of death. The restraints kind of hurt though.

I'm the idiot who will try any amusement park ride once, and most likely will love it.

I wonder how many g's they experienced from that? Surely that ride would not do them any good?

Probably hardly any, you experience g-force from centrifugal force, and the thing they were sat on was free to spin, if it was constantly in the same position they would experience a lot.

Is centrifugal force not the act of spinning forces? or am i compleatly in left feild on this one?

Not really. So, you're kinda in left field :P.

A centrifuge is the machine that prepares astronauts for space. The cabin you are in doesn't move independantly, and it is stuck in the same position against the iron bars. So your body is trying to move outward.

The thing the people are sat in on that is pivoting on an axle. If the platform was welded or joined onto the arms without it being able to move other than the way the arms were, then it would be centrifugal force.

Think of it like a bike wheel, with those clickerdy-clackers (technical word, mmkay?), you roll it down a hill. By the time it gets to the bottom it will be going so fast that the clickerdy-clackers will be at the farthest point from the centre of force. If you attached two wheels together at the spokes and rolled that down a hill, and the spokes were on their own axis and could spin independantly, the clickerdy-clackers wouldn't move that much.

You're making it unnecessarily complicated. Hank won't understand jack :P. Just imagine yourself sittin' in one of 'em seats in a carousel. The faster its (the carousel's) axis/center rotates, the farther you get pushed outward.

The seats don't need to be 'fixed.' Usually, they're chained to the axis of the carousel, and when the axis rotates fast enough, the chains will be in a straight line unless the passenger moves a lot in the seat.

As for the amusement park ride from hell, I'm not sure if I'd wanna ride it. It's a little too crazy for my linking. :P

I meant a chairoplane (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/878269/2/istockphoto_878269_chairoplane_2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/%3Fid%3D878269%26refnum%3D551836&h=285&w=380&sz=47&hl=en&start=2&tbnid=TORhazDa8IvszM:&tbnh=92&tbnw=123&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dchairoplane%26as_st%3Dy%26ndsp%3D20%2 6svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN), tho I prefer the term carousel :p. But seeing as how Hank knows what centrifugal force is, we should dedicate ourselves to this thread's topic again. Just watching that video made me wanna puke :).
