Simulating Microgravity with Random Positioning Machines | The Factory

Designing experiments for microgravity from the safety of our 9.8m/s/s has its challenges. Considering the price of rocket fuel it's not so simple to just send your project into space on a whim, so we designed a school-friendly random positioning machine to simulate a low-gravity environment for the specimens mounted within. We were delighted to partner with the Powerhouse Museum and Claire from Unconvengineering to help make this educational workshop come to life.

Join us as we cover the process of designing, assembling, and testing our 3D-printed random positioning machines.
