There is no way those tubes are balanced step away from the centrifuge

emergencyfood,

They are, actually. Assuming opposite pairs / triples have the same amount of liquid.

I disagree. A real mad scientist is still a human and not a centrifuge

nailbar,

He turned himself into a centrifuge in a mad science experiment!

For those who are curious it’s properly balanced. There are 24 slots available. Pairs: 1-13, 2-14, 6-18, 9-21, 10-22 Triple: 8-16-24 All pairs and triples have their centers of mass on the rotation axis.

THANK GOD. I WAS SO WORRIED!!!

GraniteM,

What do you do if there’s a prime number of test tubes, like the thirteen in the picture?

threelonmusketeers, (edited )

For a 24-slot centrifuge, 5 pairs and 1 triple will balance 13 tubes, as is described in the comment you replied to.

Here’s a video that also explains it: The Centrifuge Problem - Numberphile

If you don’t want to figure out some awkward balancing techniques, you can just use a balance tube. Fill a tube with water to a similar height of the tube it opposes.

I’m going mad just looking at this. I mean maybe it’s actually balanced, but like… there are easier ways. Stop tryna flex and spin your shit down.

SatanicNotMessianic,

Having dealt with this kind of thing before, it gives a new and more literal definition to the phrase “bloody idiot.”

blandfordforever,

That’s a properly balanced centrifuge. Perhaps we should be calling you the silly names.

Actual mad scientists: 🤬🥼🧪

But what are they so mad about?

Venator,

Third photo should be of the dude from Explosions&Fire or NileRed.

I think you misspelled thought emporium:

We’re talking MAD science, not regular science.

Malgas,

Why did you build a death ray?

To take over the world.

No, I mean, what mad hypothesis are you testing? Are you just making mad observations?

Look, I’m just trying to take over the world. That’s all.

You’re at least going to leave some of the world as a mad control group, right?

Sad fact: most “mad scientists” are actually mad engineers.

I miss Cowbirds in Love.

i think that centrifuge might be actually balanced

Any time you see a video of a cat backing up and saying “no no no no no” it’s because they’re watching the researcher’s hand move toward the on switch of that centrifuge.

NobodyElse,

I’ve heard an unbalanced ultracentrifuge explode and have seen the aftermath. Now that’s mad science!

Contramuffin,

Don’t worry, that’s actually perfectly balanced. That’s the mad part

Tar_alcaran,

Could still be different amounts in there though
