For those who are curious it's properly balanced. There are 24 slots available. Pairs: 1-13, 2-14, 6-18, 9-21, 10-22 Triple: 8-16-24 All pairs and triples have their centers of mass on the rotation axis.

Why did you build a death ray?

To take over the world.

No, I mean, what mad hypothesis are you testing? Are you just making mad observations?

Look, I'm just trying to take over the world. That's all.

You're at least going to leave some of the world as a mad control group, right?

Sad fact: most "mad scientists" are actually mad engineers.

(Borrowed from a Cowbirds in Love strip which at the time of this writing is inaccessible.)

I’ve heard an unbalanced ultracentrifuge explode and have seen the aftermath. Now that’s mad science!

I disagree. A real mad scientist is still a human and not a centrifuge

I'm going mad just looking at this. I mean maybe it's actually balanced, but like... there are easier ways. Stop tryna flex and spin your shit down.

Having dealt with this kind of thing before, it gives a new and more literal definition to the phrase “bloody idiot.”

Actual mad scientists: 🤬🥼🧪

i think that centrifuge might be actually balanced

But what are they so mad about?

Third photo should be of the dude from Explosions&Fire or NileRed.

But are you wearing welding goggles?

Any time you see a video of a cat backing up and saying "no no no no no" it's because they're watching the researcher's hand move toward the on switch of that centrifuge.

There is no way those tubes are balanced step away from the centrifuge
