A new study suggests lunar residents can simulate the effects of gravity by running around in circles on the vertical walls of a cylinder.
The moon's gravitational field is just one-sixth of the value on Earth .
According to Einstein 's equivalence principle, we can make artificial gravity indistinguishable from gravity.
Rhett Allain : Can we use a circular motion to create artificial gravity in space? He says it's possible that a human could run fast enough to stay on the Wall of Death on the moon .
The lunar gravitational field (g2) of 1.625 newtons per kilogram gives us a minimum speed of 3.2 meters per second.
To stay on the wall, you'd actually need to lean upward, like this: To be stable, the torque from the gravitational force and the centrifugal force combined must be zero .
Instead of vertical walls, it would have walls that slant outward, like a tiny Nascar track.
If humans want to live on the moon, this could be a simple way to simulate gravity.
