A centrifuge is a piece of equipment that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis, applying a force perpendicular to the axis of spin that can be strong. The centrifuge works using the sedimentation principle, where the centrifugal acceleration causes denser substances and particles to move outward in the radial direction. At the same time, objects that are less dense move to the center. In a laboratory centrifuge that uses sample tubes, the radial acceleration causes denser particles to settle to the bottom of the tube, while low-density substances rise to the top. There are three types of centrifuge designed for different applications. Industrial scale centrifuges are used in manufacturing and waste processing to sediment suspended solids, or to separate immiscible liquids. An example is the cream separator found in dairies. High speed centrifuges and ultracentrifuges able to provide high accelerations can separate fine particles down to the nano-scale, molecules of different masses.

Large centrifuges are used to simulate high acceleration environments. Medium-sized centrifuges are used in washing machines and at some swimming pools to wring water out of fabrics. Gas centrifuges are used for isotope separation, such as to enrich nuclear fuel for fissile isotopes. English military engineer Benjamin Robins invented a whirling arm apparatus to determine drag. In 1864, Antonin Prandtl proposed the idea of a dairy centrifuge to separate cream from milk; the idea was subsequently put into practice by his brother, Alexander Prandtl, who made improvements to his brother's design, exhibited a working butterfat extraction machine in 1875. A centrifuge machine can be described as a machine with a rotating container that applies centrifugal force to its contents. There are multiple types of centrifuge, which can be classified by intended use or by rotor design: Types by rotor design: Fixed-angle centrifuges are designed to hold the sample containers at a constant angle relative to the central axis.

Swinging head centrifuges, in contrast to fixed-angle centrifuges, have a hinge where the sample containers are attached to the central rotor. This allows all of the samples to swing outwards. Continuous tubular centrifuges do not have individual sample vessels and are used for high volume applications. Types by intended use: Laboratory centrifuges, are general-purpose instruments of several types with distinct, but overlapping, capabilities; these include superspeed centrifuges and preparative ultracentrifuges. Analytical ultracentrifuges are designed to perform sedimentation analysis of macromolecules using the principles devised by Theodor Svedberg. Haematocrit centrifuges are used to measure the volume percentage of red blood cells in whole blood. Gas centrifuges, including Zippe-type centrifuges, for isotopic separations in the gas phase. Industrial centrifuges may otherwise be classified according to the type of separation of the high density fraction from the low density one. There are two types of centrifuges: the filtration and sedimentation centrifuges.

For the filtration or the so-called screen centrifuge the drum is perforated and is inserted with a filter, for example a filter cloth, wire mesh or lot screen. The suspension flows through the filter and the drum with the perforated wall from the inside to the outside. In this way the solid material can be removed; the kind of removing depends on the type of centrifuge, for example manually or periodically. Common types are: Screen/scroll centrifuges Pusher centrifuges Peeler centrifuges Inverting filter centrifuges Sliding discharge centrifuges Pendulum centrifuges Sedimentation centrifugesIn the centrifuges the drum is a solid wall; this type of centrifuge is used for the purification of a suspension. For the acceleration of the natural deposition process of suspension the centrifuges use centrifugal force. With so-called overflow centrifuges the suspension is drained off and the liquid is added constantly. Common types are: Separator centrifuges. Though most modern centrifuges are electrically powered, a hand-powered variant inspired by the whirligig has been developed for medical applications in developing countries.

Many designs have been shared for free and open-source centrifuges that can be digitally manufactured. The open-source hardware designs for hand-powered centrifuge for larger volumes of fluids with a radial velocity of over 1750 rpm and over 50 N of relative centrifugal force can be 3-D printed for about $25. Other open hardware designs use custom 3-D printed fixtures with inexpensive electric motors to make low-cost centrifuges or CNC cut out OpenFuge. A wide variety of laboratory-scale centrifuges are used in chemistry, biology and clinical medicine for isolating and separating suspensions and immiscible liquids, they vary in speed, temperature control, other characteristics. Laboratory centrifuges can accept a range of different fixed-angle and swinging bucket rotors able to carry different numbers of centrifuge tubes and rated for specific maximum speeds. Cont

Zero Gravity Corporation is an American company based in Arlington, Virginia of Fort Lauderdale, which operates weightless flights from United States airports. Unlike NASA, ZERO-G is governed under Part 121 of FAA regulations enabling the company to cater to both tourists and researchers alike. Founded by entrepreneur Peter Diamandis, astronaut Byron K. Lichtenberg, NASA engineer Ray Cronise, the company has been operating weightless flights since 2004. Over 15000 were clients as of November 2017. A number of notable passengers have been on weightless flights run by the company, including Penn Jillette and Teller, Martha Stewart, Burt Rutan, Buzz Aldrin, Casey Neistat, John Carmack, Tony Hawk. Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking completed a shortened flight on April 26, 2007. In April 2006, ZERO-G became the first commercial company to gain permission from the Kennedy Space Center to use its space shuttle runway and landing facilities. On April 21, 2007, it began regular flights from Las Vegas for the general public at ticket prices of US$3,675.

Good Morning America aired promotional footage featuring the show's weatherman Sam Champion during a preview flight in Ohio. On December 9, 2007, Zero G hosted Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman of MythBusters to disprove the conspiracy theory that the Apollo Moon landing was a hoax. In March 2008, the company was acquired by Space Adventures. On April 20, 2011, a Safety Approval was granted to ZERO-G by the FAA which allows the company to "...offer reduced gravity parabolic flights to prospective suborbital launch operators to meet the applicable components of the crew qualification and training requirements outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations." As of March 2018, the price of a flight for a single passenger is US$5,400 plus tax. The unique Weightless Weddings Experience is included in the list of services Noah and Erin Fulmor were the first couple to get married in weightlessness. Fliers undergo a brief training session before embarking. A flight lasts 90 to 100 minutes, consists of fifteen parabolas, each of which simulates about 30 seconds of reduced gravity: one that simulates Martian gravity, two that simulate Lunar gravity, 12 that simulate weightlessness.

Each parabola begins with the aircraft climbing at a 45-degree angle at 23,000 feet, peaks at 32,000 ft, ends with the aircraft pointed down at a 30-degree angle. The company owns and operates a Boeing 727-227F Advanced, registration N794AJ, dubbed "G-FORCE ONE", it flies parabolic arcs similar to those of NASA's KC-135 reduced gravity aircraft. NASA has a microgravity services contract with ZERO-G, which provided the first flights under this contract on September 9 and 10, 2008. Flight time from Ellington Field near Johnson Space Center was provided for the FASTRACK Space Experiment Platform; the flights were funded by NASA's Strategic Capabilities and Assets Program.

John P. Morse is an American former politician, a state senator in the Colorado Senate from 2007 to 2013, serving as president of the senate in 2013, he is a member of the Democratic Party. Morse represented Senate District 11, which encompasses Manitou Springs and eastern Colorado Springs. On April 17, 2009, he was selected to become Colorado's next Senate Majority Leader, following the resignation of Senate President Peter Groff and the promotion of previous Majority Leader Brandon Shaffer. On September 10, 2013, Morse was recalled from office as a reaction to his involvement in passing gun control laws, he was the first legislator to be recalled in the state's history. Morse was born on November 4, 1958 in Petersburg, Virginia into a military family, the eldest of ten children, he earned the Eagle Scout rank in the Boy Scouts of America as a teenager. He graduated from Mitchell High School in Colorado. After working as a Certified Public Accountant, Morse began to pursue a career in public affairs, earning first an MBA from Regis University in 1984 a Master of Public Administration degree from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs in 1996 and a Ph.

D. in public affairs from the University of Colorado at Denver in 2001. While pursuing advanced degrees, Morse worked for the Colorado Springs Police Department, advancing to the rank of Sergeant. After nine years in Colorado Springs, Morse joined the police staff in Fountain, just south of Colorado Springs. In October 2002, he became acting police chief and was appointed as the permanent police chief in February 2003, he held the chief of police position until November 2003, just nine months later. In 2004, Morse became the President and CEO of Silver Key Senior Services, a Colorado Springs-based non-profit. Morse ran for the Colorado Senate in 2006, won a decisive victory in a competitive district, defeating incumbent Republican legislator Ed Jones. Although Morse had lived in Colorado Springs for over three decades, Colorado Republicans accused Morse of "carpetbagging" for moving into the district from his previous residence just outside district boundaries only a year before the 2006 election.

Advertisements aired during the campaign accused Morse of incompetence as police chief of Fountain, but were pulled from broadcast because of inaccuracies. In the 2007 legislative session, Morse served on the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, the Senate Finance Committee, was Vice-Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee. During his first term, Morse sponsored legislation to create a pilot mental health services program for discharged combat veterans in Colorado, to change Colorado's concealed carry permit system for firearms. Following the regular legislative session, Morse served on the interim legislative Health Care Task Force and was vice-chair of the Police Officers' and Firefighters' Pension Reform Commission. In November 2007, Morse was elected by the Democratic caucus to serve on the influential Joint Budget Committee. In the 2008 session of the General Assembly, Morse sat on the Joint Budget Committee and chaired the Senate Appropriations Committee, he sat on a special ethics panel investigating possible conflicts of interest for Colorado State Fair engineering contracts received by Sen. Abel Tapia.

Among the legislation sponsored by Morse during the 2008 legislative session were a bill to increase drivers license fees to fund trauma care and require $5000 of trauma care to be covered in car insurance policies, a bill to increase marriage license fees to fund Court Appointed Special Advocate programs. Another of Morse's bills, to establish a database of school security practices for use by Colorado schools and create the Colorado School Safety Resource Center to help school districts with safety plans, was passed by the legislature and signed into law by Gov. Ritter. Morse was the Senate sponsor of successful legislation encouraging judges to consider restorative justice as part of juvenile sentencing, he sponsored legislation to grant public hospitals taxing authority so that they can satisfy the federal definition of a "public hospital" and qualify for federal funding. During the session, Morse was the lone legislator to vote in committee in favor of a proposal to require the use of paper ballot in all 2008 Colorado elections.

As a member of the Joint Budget Committee, Morse was a prominent voice supporting Democratic Party priorities in the state 2008-09 state budget, arguing in favor of increased spending on education and health care. In July 2008, Morse publicly called for an investigation of 4th Judicial District DA John Newsome amid reports that Newsome inappropriately used taxpayer money to pay for over $500 in expenses surrounding a trip to a college football game. Newsome, who faced a challenger in the Republican primary for the district attorney's position, denied wrongdoing and alleged that Morse's accusations were "politics of personal destruction." Both the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the Colorado Attorney General's office launched investigations into Newsome's conduct. During the 2008 election, Morse was an outspoken critic of El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Bob Balink, whom he accused of implementing a "12-point strategy" to disenfranchise voters including improperly interpreting rules regarding voter registration for students at Colorado College.

Balink's office denied any improper conduct. Following the 2008 general election, Morse was nominated for the posts of Senate President Pro-Tem and Senate Assistant Majority Leader, but lost the caucus' vote for each post to
