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.*
