Centrifugal pumps are one of the most popular types of pumps used both domestically and in industrial settings. There are various designs of centrifugal pumps (Figure 1), and they all work in a ...

Learn the key differences between centripetal and centrifugal forces, their real-world applications in physics, and how they shape our understanding of circular motion. When you purchase through links ...

A couple of commenters expressed concern over the use of centrifugal force after my rant on the use of the word force. So, what is the deal with these two terms? Are they ok to use? Are they real ...

Using forced induction to get more power out of an engine can be done in several different ways. One of those ways is using a centrifugal-style supercharger, using power from the engine to push more ...

Understand the difference between centrifugal, Coriolis, and centripetal forces with a clear and simple explanation. This ...

We recently sat down with Vortech Superchargers and talked boost. We posted some photos to the HOT ROD Facebook page, and when you guys weren't arguing with us that the picture was a turbo, you had ...

I first learned in high school physics about the myth of centrifugal force. On paper and in theory, it’s a very real force, one that pulls you away from something. The term comes up in the automotive ...

When humanity first started studying motion, circles posed a peculiar puzzle. Why do planets sweep endlessly around the Sun without flying off into the void of space? Why does a stone swung on a ...

Gearheads chase horsepower like it's a search for the Holy Grail. Anything and everything that can make a car go faster, we will try, including slapping an engine-driven air pump under the hood. Or, ...

A centrifugal gun is a type of rapid-fire projectile accelerator, like a machine gun but operating on a different principle. Centrifugal guns use a rapidly rotating disc to impart energy to the ...
