Meccano Lava Lamp Centrifuge

This is an amazing hacked together centrifuge to test if a lava lamp would work on Jupiter after the guy had an argument with some coworkers at lunch.  The thrust bearing is so sketchy and I’m surprised it didn’t collapse and throw a piece through his walls, but nonetheless it is successful.  And I love the Android for reading G forces!

Anyways, check it out!
