The Centrifugal Hypergravity and Interdisciplinary Experiment Facility, located in China, has a machine which spins so quickly that it generates 1,900x Earth's gravity

Listen, I love spinning things just as much as anyone else, but this one is too fast. Centrifugal Hypergravity & Interdisciplinary Experiment Facility may have gone too far with a machine that spins at a rate 1,900 times faster than Earth's gravity.

According to Interesting Engineering, the facility in Hangzhou is now powered up. However, New Atlas claims that only one of the terrifyingly large centrifuges has been powered on.

If you're wondering exactly what the facility is, Huangzhou government explained previously: "The project consists of a large-scale experimental facility that integrates hyper-gravity and an extreme environment. It's being called a "revolutionary engineering device." It uses time and space compression, as well as accelerated phases separation to bring science research to a whole new level.

In many ways, I am a simple man and I appreciate an explanation that is simple. Here's what we have: It's a giant spinny object that spins so fast it causes an outward force 1,900x greater than Earth's gravity.

Imagine those carnival rides that you line up along the wall of the big plate, and then it spins so fast that you become stuck to the wall. Centrifugal force is the same idea. This one is different because instead of a giant platter, it has two giant arms with containers at each end. These containers are for putting stuff in to see how it reacts with all that G-Force.

What about that G-Force, then? This would be approximately 1,900 Gs. This is 190 times higher than what even trained fighters can experience. Then, it's a lot.

The facility will be used to do a variety of useful things, such as research geological processes and how different materials react in extreme conditions.

After hearing about it, my first thought was that it could be used for testing materials under extreme pressure for things like deep sea exploration.

New Atlas also points out a cool use I hadn't thought of. This is to "observe phenomena and study them more quickly and efficiently." For example, "how dams may function after years of stress within a few hours".

All jokes aside, this is a really cool video. But I must apologize to the megalophobes who are watching the arms spinning at breakneck speed.
