I don’t get it. Can someone explain?

First frame isa centrifuge that spins samples at high speed to separate the components in them (I think that’s the purpose, not a scientist).

I hear that if it’s unbalanced, bad things happen, because you’re not spinning an unbalanced rotor at high speeds.

I honestly was coming to check the comments to see if anyone had experience with it so I could ask how bad it is.

The centrifuge would not run like that, it noticed the vibrations and turns off. They had that “feature” for decades now.

That’s awesome… And also funny that it had to be added. Thanks for the info!

I still want to know what happens on an old one without vibration detection or if it was “broken”. I assume something like an unbalanced washing machine but on a smaller scale? It just going out for a stroll :)
