Human Centrifuge
Item Name Code (INC) 50087
![]() |
A system using rotary motion to create the type of stress on human beings that occurs during high accelerations. The forces acting on persons depend on the angular velocity produced. Devices designed to control and record the testees' behavior during these phases of stress as well as drives and air conditioning units are an integral part of the system. The system may also be used to exert stress on material samples.
Additional Information for Human Centrifuge
Human centrifuges are devices used in operation training to simulate the effects of high acceleration forces on the human body. They are typically used in aviation and aerospace training to prepare pilots and astronauts for the physical stresses they may experience during high-speed maneuvers or space travel.
Human centrifuges consist of a rotating cabin or capsule that can be accelerated to high speeds, creating a centrifugal force that simulates the gravitational forces experienced during rapid acceleration. This force pushes the trainee against the walls of the cabin, replicating the sensation of increased G-forces.
By subjecting trainees to these simulated forces, human centrifuges help them develop the necessary physiological and psychological responses to maintain control and prevent adverse effects during real-life high-G situations. This training aids in improving situational awareness, decision-making, and overall performance in high-stress environments.
Human centrifuges are an essential component of operation training devices in the supply class of Training Aids and Devices. They provide a realistic and controlled environment for trainees to experience and adapt to the physical demands of high-acceleration scenarios, ensuring their safety and effectiveness in real-world operations.
