1300g・t capacity! The world's largest supergravity centrifuge, a century-old experiment completed in 3 days
Recently, the world's largest hypergravity centrifuge has been officially put into use in China, with a capacity of up to 1,300g·t, marking a major breakthrough in the field of hypergravity experiments in my country. This equipment can shorten experiments that traditionally take hundreds of years to three days, bringing revolutionary changes to the fields of civil engineering, geological science, and materials research. The following is the hot discussion and structured data analysis on this topic across the Internet in the past 10 days.
1. Core parameters and technological breakthroughs of hypergravity centrifuge

| parameter | numerical value | International comparison |
|---|---|---|
| maximum capacity | 1300g・t | 2.1 times that of the second place |
| maximum acceleration | 1500g | Break through existing limits |
| Experimental efficiency | Complete a hundred-year equivalent experiment in 3 days | Reduce time by 99.9% |
| Application areas | 12 subject directions | The widest coverage |

3. Technology application scenarios and future prospects
The hypergravity centrifuge will first be used in the following key areas:
1.Geological hazard simulation: It can complete the simulation of the century-old evolution process of landslides within 3 days, providing accurate data support for disaster prevention.
2.Basic research on high-speed rail: Shorten the 30-year roadbed settlement test to 8 hours to facilitate the research and development of a new generation of high-speed rail.
3.Deep sea engineering materials: Accelerate testing of performance changes of deep-sea equipment materials under extreme pressure.
4.Nuclear waste disposal: Simulate and evaluate the security of nuclear waste storage containers at the 10,000-year level.
Experts predict that this equipment will drive related industries to generate direct economic benefits of more than 20 billion yuan in the next five years, and help my country maintain its technological leadership in the field of hypergravity for at least 10 years.
4. International response and academic evaluation
| Institution/Expert | Review summary | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| MIT Gravity Laboratory | "Redefining the time scale of experimental physics" | Breakthrough |
| Nature journal | "The most significant development in gravity experimental equipment in the 21st century" | milestone |
| European Research Council | "Will change the research paradigm in multiple disciplines" | Transformative |
Currently, research institutions in 17 countries have applied for cooperation, and the first international cooperation project is expected to be launched in the first quarter of 2024.
5. Five issues that netizens are most concerned about
1. How to understand the unit "1300g・t"? ——Equivalent to the force of a 1,300-ton object under standard gravity.
2. Why can the experimental time be shortened? ——Accelerate physical and chemical processes through a hypergravity environment.
3. How big is the device? ——The main structure is equivalent to a five-story building and covers an area of two basketball courts.
4. How is the power consumption? ——The maximum power consumption in a single experiment is equivalent to the daily power consumption of 3,000 households.
5. What is the next research and development direction? ——A new generation of 2000g·t level equipment is being developed.
This breakthrough achievement not only demonstrates China's manufacturing capabilities of high-end scientific research equipment, but also provides scientists around the world with unprecedented experimental tools, which may open a new chapter in mankind's understanding of the physical world.
