Experience
Artificial Gravity
for yourself !
That's
right! We're always looking for new subjects to participate
in experiments. On
top of experiencing artificial gravity first-hand, you will
get paid $10 per hour!
As you might imagine, the astronauts of a possible manned
interplanetary mission will experience certain physical effects
due to lack of gravity. At this point, artificial gravity
seems to be the only counter-measure. What we're working on
is a personal
centrifuge, "a spinning gym", that the astronauts would get
on for a few hours every day and get a work out that's equivalent
to just standing, here on Earth.
We are continually conducting exciting experiments, but we
need subjects to spin -- like you!
There are, unfortunately a few disqualifying factors:
1)
Being shorter than 5'2"
2)
Being taller than 6'2"
3)
Weighing more than 200lbs
4)
Being extremely intolerant to motion sickness
5)
Inability to perform simple tasks such as pushing buttons,
putting on and taking off goggles while experiencing motion
sickness symptoms
6) Having experienced
neurological problems such as epilepsy, disturbances in consciousness,
loss of control of nervous system functions
7)
Experiencing the above-mentioned neurological problems
now.
8)
Have any of the following eye-problems:
| |
•
Lazy eye
• Reduced eye movements
• Cross-looking of
the eyes |
That's all!
if you have answered "NO" to all of the items above,
you qualify to be a subject!
Please contact Thomas Jarchow (jarchow@mit.edu)
at your earliest convenience with your availability and
we'll schedule you a ride. Thanks for your interest and
we look forward to meeting you! |
