Hi

do you mean microgravity or zero gravity?

There are several setups to simulate Micro gravity for the Object you want to use - the most challenging aspect would be the setup of your experiment - please specify what do you have in mind.

Regards

Hey!

Thank you for the reply.

I am concerned about micro gravity.

To process ceramic particulate reinforced metal matrix composite castings.

Magnesium based..Light weight aerospace applications.

Cheers

Be careful using the term "Zero Gravity" because it's nearly impossible to find experimental enviroments with totally 0 g. Also on the ISS there are some vibrations which makes it nearly impossible to have such environments for a 0 g experiment. Therefore "Microgravity" is a more accurate term and doesn't mean that the quality is bad.

Regarding to simulation you could use clinostats, random positioning machines or magnetic levitation. Nevertheless i am not sure which requirements you have because I am not an expert in material sciences and the simulation is only a simulation. Maybe it's better to perform your experiment in a drop-tower?

Thank you so mcuh Dr Lars Krause.

Thank you so much Dr Lars Krause

Effect of light on gravity

You can decrease gravity by sending laminar horizontal light over the object. The loss of weight is proportional to the intensity of light
