Re: [DIYbio] kit Centrifuges (was projectile speed)

Most tabletop microtube centrifuges go up to about 15000 rpm, using plastic rotors, so if you can come up with a good enclosure, I'd think you are on track

I think it's entirely feasible to build a safe DIY armored enclosure

line of fire in the first place, by putting the ultracentrifuge in a
hole in the ground.

The hole method stops so many people from wanting
that design -- it would be so inconvenient.

Concrete multi layered containers with steel and glass fiber reinforcement
seems a more productive path for conversation.

As far as worry and liability, the ones that will build will, and the ones that are afraid
of it won't have any fully assembled guaranteed ultracentrifuge to buy from me, that
is for sure.  My first kit centrifuges will probably go to a whopping 200 RPM
as part of an incubator shaker function in a multipurpose modular
parallel liquid processing machine I'm dreaming up.  But later?  Why not a 5000 RPM version
and then more?
