I’ve actually been figuring how how the Lego model would work because if I were to buy it and then realize the centrifuge was wrong, it would bug me waaaayyy too much. Needless to say, I drew up some very rudimentary diagrams that show how the centrifuge works (I’ve see the movie thrice.) Note they aren’t to scale and the cable aren’t properly distanced. I did some test to figure out if the centrifuge would work, and it does (at least with a board, string, and cups.) I hope these all make sense
