Spin Gravity Compared

This compares some of the ringworlds, centrifuges, space stations and ships that use spin to make gravity. It also tries to show how the variables of artificial gravity — radius, rate of rotation, tangential velocity — turn centripetal acceleration into something you can stand up in.

Calculator used: SpinCalc.
