Salad Spinner Made Into Life-Saving Centrifuge 87
lucidkoan writes "Two Rice University students have transformed a simple salad spinner into an electricity-free centrifuge that can be used to diagnose diseases on the cheap. Created by Lauren Theis and Lila Kerr, the ingenious DIY centrifuge is cobbled together using a salad spinner, some plastic lids, combs, yogurt containers, and a hot glue gun. The simple and easily-replicated design could be an invaluable tool for clinics in the developing world, enabling them to separate blood to detect diseases like anemia without electricity."

aren't those centrifuges a bit more powerful?
That's the Iranians' dark secret: They are developing new salad technology. They don't want to nuke the Jews, they just really love Caesar salad and don't want the other Muslim extremists to laugh at them.
