Welcome to
Centrifugal Energy
The Future Is Now.
What do we mean when we say Centrifugal Energy?
We're talking about something simple, something that we all intrinsicly understand. When you spin something, it wants to pull away. And this can be useful!

Even our primative ancestors made use of this force, when they created slingshots.

This is Centrifugal Force.
But... what exactly is centrifugal force? Centrifugal force is defined as "the force that acts outward on a body moving around a center, arising from the body's inertia". Basically, when you spin something, it creates outward force, away from the center point it's spinning from. This force is sometimes called "ficticious", but if you've felt it for yourself, you know it's powerful! And we have been using it since the dawn of time to help us acheive our goals.
In the first video, a man is using centrifugal force to make lifing a large, heavy bag much easier. Spinning the bag creates an outward force which naturally helps him lift the bag, and then to ultimately place it into a higher position. By doing this, he is able to turn what would be a difficult task for two men, into a comparatively simple task for just one man.
In the second video, a man uses centrifugal force to fire a stone much farther and faster than his arm can naturally do on its own, a hunting technique that has been sucessfully used by humankind throughout the ages.
And a little spinning goes a long way.
In fact, every time the Rotations Per Minute increases, centrifugal force increases by that number, square! In other words, double the RPM's and you get 4 times as much outward force...
But spin it ten times faster? That's a hundred times more outward force!
This quickly building phenomenon, while useful, has also caused problems of its own. Machines want to fly apart, roller coaster rides have to be carefully crafted, and every field involving a rotating motion has to ultimately consider its effects, or risk diaster.
But what if we used it in a new way?
Instead of the traditional methods of relying on centrifugal force to move an object away from its center...
What if we were able to harness the full power of centrifugal force itself?
