Centrifuge 2.0

Wave-driven countercurrent plasma centrifuge

A method for driving rotation and a countercurrent flow in a fully ionized plasma centrifuge is described. The rotation is produced by radiofrequency waves near the cyclotron resonance. The wave energy is transferred into potential energy in a manner similar to the α channeling effect. The countercurrent flow may also be driven by radiofrequency waves. By driving both the rotation and the flow ...

India’s Gas Centrifuge Enrichment Program:

This report traces the history of India’s centrifuge enrichment program and assesses its current and projected enrichment capacity based on publicly available procurement data and other publicly available information, which were analyzed using specialized software. Our conclusion is that India is currently operating between 2,000 and 3,000 centrifuges at the Rare Materials Project (RMP), India’...

Sedimentation in the Angle Centrifuge

1. Using hemocyanin from Limulus polyphemus as a test material, the process of sedimentation in the angle centrifuge, operating both in vacuum and in the open air, has been investigated. 2. Sedimentation in a given field of force was found less efficient when centrifugation was conducted in the open air, because of thermal convection. 3. Correlations have been made with results obtained in the ...
