Stumbled upon this video (5 years old now) of my initial 9G centrifuge training at Brooks City Base, and thought it would be beneficial to share. For those unfamiliar, 9Gs of gravitational force multiplies the weight of your body 9 times, making it difficult to keep oxygen in your lungs and blood in your head. With the help of a G-suit, technical breathing, and proper muscle strain, you can train your body to sustain significant gravitational force; a requirement to be able to fly a high G-capable aircraft. Turn up the volume and listen as the instructor guides me through the 9.15G profile! *For the record... no one looks good under 9Gs, not even you @robholland5150....* #centrifuge #highgravity #gravity #fightertraining #pilottraining #fighterpilot #womeninaviation #fighterjet #usaf #avgeek #avnerd #aviation #brookscitybase
This is ESA’s Large Diameter Centrifuge (LDC). It gives scientists access to high gravity levels for minutes, days or even weeks on end. Based at ESA’s ESTEC technical centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, the LDC is a centrifuge designed not for astronaut training as you might have thought at first, but specifically for research projects.
A wide range of hypergravity experiments can be undertaken in the LDC facility, in particular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, optical physics, material sciences, fluid dynamics, geology and plasma physics investigations can be performed.
The eight-metre-diameter LDC can operate at up to 20 G, with four gondolas able to accommodate up to 80 kg of payloads, with a central gondola as a control. Two additional gondolas can be optionally attached to one mid-arm to simultaneously provide different G-levels. Experiments can be spun for up to six months non-stop.
Technical stuff
This is a rather straightforward shot. Just one single photo, straight from the camera with little or no post-production. I included a copyright watermark as my photos have been frequently copied without any mentioning or permission. The copyright is there to stay, so don't bother commenting on that.

The aroma from this beer almost made me think it was spiced before I took a drink. A little sweet and not very hoppy. I probably will not pick up another bottle of this as it is just not my favorite. Just to note I have not tried Deschute's winter beer Jubel Ale that this one is supposed to be a bigger version of so I cannot compare.
