With a solar panel and lithium cells you can have low demand electricity anywhere.
Also there is an aspect of efficacy to the expensive equipment, you can load 20 samples and go accomplish stuff, and the samples can be larger and better precessed for less uncertainty in the results, the types of tubes used have other testing advantages as well and the machines last for decades of near continuous use(like 10 million samples);
The paper spinner does one or two tiny samples and requires somebody to spin it for 10 minutes, at a cost of $30 an hour that's about $3-6 per sample; not including the amortized machine cost, this would be 30-60 million dollars for the same number of samples that the big machine processed for only a few thousand dollars including cost of electricity. Please know that cost for an employee is not the employee's pay, usually the cost is near double the pay rate.

Another fascinating video. I just came up here becoz our centrifuge stopped operating becoz of brown out. And there is no generators to supply electricity. Too bad, i need to go back to the town just to centrifugate blood samples. Our blood donors just horribly wait too long. If i had that tool it can be a back up in case it might happened again.

Two questions:
1) how can you make this keep continuously rotating only in one direction, and you can keep adding energy to it? (like spinning mops, or vintage old spinning top )
2) how can we incorporate it in a bicycle?
3) how about a skateboard working with this principle, where you just pull a string?

that paper spinning thing, was invented in the Dominican Republic in 1965, and its called FuFu because of the sound its make when it spins, it was also a toy, and people instead of using paper they flattened soda caps with a hammer to make it, the intention of the game was to cut the other players rope.

There's a really fun game you can do with this.
Get the metal cap off a bottle.
Flatten it and make 2 holes.
Get 2 strings(those that stretched are even better) and put 1 string through each hole. Then now you can spin it and play that game.
Well good job. You just created a portable chainsaw

Why not the cheaper hand operated ones? Theyre just around $50 new. The problem I see with this one is it has to stop for just a bit when its switching the rotation direction. Not sure how import that is, though. Also, if something breaks, the operator is going to get a face full of glass and blood >_

Do you have to decant the stuff out of the capillary after its spun? Or do you just analyze it through the capillary. I just wonder this because I feel like the tube is so skinny the stuff would be harder to remove than a traditional tube

cost to make $0. 02. What it will sell for in US healthcare system: $600. Now if you actually think of it that's how most your medications are. If you want cheap healthcare just get out of the states

Anyone ever used this for something else? Maybe making a butter? --
But srsly, this hand centrifuge is very useful in a lot of applications that involves separating materials by centrifugal force.

They could make such equipment much cheaper if they wanted to in the market. But obviously the medical industry is a bloated greedy corporate scheme nowadays, at least here in the US.
