China’s new CHIEF1900 centrifuge reaches 1,900 g, accelerating dam tests and pollution studies in record time.

A CHIEF1900

1 900 giga-tonnes, des forces colossales, des matériaux poussés à leurs limites. La centrifugeuse CHIEF1900 ne fera pas de jus de fruits, n’essorera pas les vêtements, et n’est pas conçue pour entraîn...

China's hypergravity centrifuge CHIEF1900 has a capacity of 1900g-tonnes and dethrones compatriot CHIEF1300.

You can take a scale model to Zhejiang University, where the CHIEF1900 gravitational centrifuge can batter it with 300 times Earth's gravity.

The new system, called CHIEF1900, was built by Shanghai Electric Nuclear Power Group as part of China's Centrifugal Hypergravity and Interdisciplinary Experiment Facility, or CHIEF. It follows the launch of CHIEF1300 only months earlier and quickly eclipses it in...

物理法則の制約を超え、数百年かかる地質変動をわずか数時間に短縮し、数千メートルの深海環境を実験室に出現させる――。SF小説の舞台設定の話ではない。これは、中国・浙江大学（Zhejiang University）の地下深部で稼働を開始しようとしている、人類史上最も強力な実験装置の一つ、「CHIEF1900」の現実だ。

Long-time Slashdot reader schwit1 shared this report from Futurism: China has unveiled an extremely powerful "hypergravity machine" that can generate forces almost two thousand times stronger than Earth's regular gravity. The futuristic-looking machine, called CHIEF1900, was constructed at China's Centrifugal Hypergravity and Interdisciplinary Experiment Facility (CHIEF) at Zheijang University in Eastern China, and allows researchers to study how extreme forces affect various materials, plants, cells, or other structures, as the South China Morning Post reports... [Once up and running, it will allow researchers to recreate "catastrophic events such as dam failures and earthquakes inside a laboratory, according to the university."] For instance, it can analyze the structural stability of an almost 1,000-feet-tall dam by spinning a ten-foot model at 100 Gs, meaning 100 times the Earth's regular gravity. It could also be used to study the resonance frequencies of high-speed rail tracks, or how pollutants seep into soil over thousands of years. The machine officially dethroned its predecessor, CHIEF1300, which became the world's most powerful centrifuge a mere four months ago... It can generate 1,900 g-tonnes of force, or 1,900 times the Earth's gravity. To put that into perspective, a washing machine only reaches about two g-tonnes. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
