I ve done simple experiments by tying diffent weights around the perimater of a 24"plywood disk mounted on bearings. weights range from string or cord to weights aproxamatly 1 oz.,1 pound,2.25 pounds.My results are regardless of weight (string included)at aproxamatly 60 to 70 rpms all weights are fully extended (opposite axle)As the rpms drop below 50 to 60 rpms so do the weights.I would like to hear from anyone who s done simular experiments of this type with centrifical forces.
