Moving or tending to move away from a center,
  1. Moving or tending to move away from a center

  1. tending to move away from a center; "centrifugal force"
  2. tending away from centralization, as of authority; "the division of Europe into warring blocs produces ever-increasing centrifugal stress"
  3. conveying information to the muscles from the CNS; "motor nerves"
  4. (centrifuge) an apparatus that uses centrifugal force to separate particles from a suspension
  5. (centrifuge) rotate at very high speed in order to separate the liquids from the solids
  6. A centrifuge is a piece of equipment, generally driven by an electric motor (some older models were spun by hand), that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis, applying a force perpendicular to the axis. ...
  7. (Centrifuge (camps)) Centrifuge is the name of a series of Christian summer camps for children, youth, and young adults centered on Bible study, worship, missions work, and recreational activities. It is sponsored by LifeWay Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention.
  8. Tending, or causing, to recede from the center; Expanding first at the summit, and later at the base, as a flower cluster; Having the radicle turned toward the sides of the fruit, as some embryos
  9. (centrifuge) A device in which a mixture of denser and lighter materials (normally dispersed in a liquid) is separated by being spun about a central axis at high speed; An apparatus in which humans are spun to simulate acceleration in an aircraft or spacecraft; To rotate something in a ...
  10. (Centrifuge) A rotating vessel for uranium enrichment. The heavier U238 isotopes in the UF6 gas tend to concentrate at the walls of the centrifuge as it spins. Scopes are placed inside the centrifuge to selectively separate the U238 and U235 isotopes.
  11. (Centrifuge) A machine using centrifugal force produced by high-speed rotation for separating materials of different densities. Applied to Diesel engine fuels and lubricating oils to remove moisture and other extraneous materials.
  12. (centrifuge) A device in which solid or liquid particles of different densities are separated by rotating them in a tube in a horizontal circle. The denser particles tend to move along the length of the tube to a greater radius of rotation, displacing the lighter particles to the other end.
  13. (Centrifuge) A machine that separates materials with different densities by spinning them at high speed. Used in sperm washing.
  14. (centrifuge) A machine that is used to separate blood cells and platelets from plasma.
  15. (centrifuge) a machine by which centrifugation is effected
  16. (Centrifuge) (1) (noun) A mechanical device for spinning small mixed samples very rapidly.  The fast spin causes the components of the mixture that have a different density to separate.  This has the same effect as filtration.   (2) (verb) The act of centrifuging.
  17. (Centrifuge) A laboratory machine that spins around so fast that it can separate mature healthy sperm from immature sperm. It is used to prepare sperm for procedures such as intrauterine inseminations. It can also help us find sperm when a man does not make a lot of sperm.
  18. (Centrifuge) An automated device which takes off the cap of the specimen container.
  19. (Centrifuge) Clarifying the wine through the use of centrifugal force of varying degrees. This is most often done in conjunction with other methods of clarification such as racking and filtration. It is more common to large production wineries than small ones.
  20. (Centrifuge) a device that separates solid material, sludges or oil from liquid effluents by rapid rotation
  21. (centrifuge) a machine that spins a mould so that, when molten metal is poured in the center of the machine, the metal is propelled outwards into the mould cavities by centrifugal force.
  22. (centrifuge) the sight of being spun in a great gyre delineates Montag's impression of separation from reality.
  23. A centrifuge is a rapidly spinning device for the purpose of separating out mixed materials. It has found in use in the winery as it may be used to clarify the must. It may also be used to separate out fractions of the liquid must, which has led to its use as a dealcoholisation tool. ...
  24. Applied to an inflorescence which develops from the centre outwards, as the cyme.
  25. A perforated basket which spins inside a casing to separate sugar crystals from molasses
