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.
THANK GOD. I WAS SO WORRIED!!!
This person centrifuges!
What do you do if there’s a prime number of test tubes, like the thirteen in the picture?
If you don’t want to figure out some awkward balancing techniques, you can just use a balance tube. Fill a tube with water to a similar height of the tube it opposes.
drink one
For a 24-slot centrifuge, 5 pairs and 1 triple will balance 13 tubes, as is described in the comment you replied to.
Here’s a video that also explains it: The Centrifuge Problem - Numberphile
They just explained it. If you have 3 you put them on 8-16-24. Everything else will be pairs which you put across from each other.
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.

I miss Cowbirds in Love.
I’ve heard an unbalanced ultracentrifuge explode and have seen the aftermath. Now that’s mad science!
Don’t worry, that’s actually perfectly balanced. That’s the mad part
Could still be different amounts in there though
I disagree. A real mad scientist is still a human and not a centrifuge
He turned himself into a centrifuge in a mad science experiment!
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.”
That’s a properly balanced centrifuge. Perhaps we should be calling you the silly names.
i think that centrifuge might be actually balanced
yeah it is, it’s 5 pairs + one triangle
But what are they so mad about?
Actual mad scientists: 🤬🥼🧪
Third photo should be of the dude from Explosions&Fire or NileRed.
Purple gold will be the death of us all.
I think you misspelled thought emporium:

We’re talking MAD science, not regular science.
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.
