The world's largest capacity! China's core equipment for the supergravity field large scientific facility has officially started up..
the first centrifuge main engine was activated at the Hypergravity Centrifuge Simulation and Experimental Facility, a major national scientific and technological infrastructure located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. This facility will provide a "hypergravity field" thousands of times stronger than Earth's gravity for scientific research, achieving a "time-space compression" effect and providing key support for numerous research fields.
The first centrifuge to be commissioned, the "CHIEF1300," has a capacity of 1300 g·t (gravitational acceleration per ton), making it the world's largest centrifuge. Furthermore, the "CHIEF1500" and "CHIEF1900," with capacities of 1500 g·t and 1900 g·t, are currently under installation.
The Hypergravity Centrifuge Simulation and Experimental Facility is a large, complex scientific experimental facility that integrates a hypergravity field with an extreme environment. Its 18 onboard devices cover a wide range of fields, including deep-sea and deep-earth resource development, disaster prevention and mitigation, underground waste disposal, and the preparation of new materials.
