CENTRIFUGAL APPARATUS FOR ACCLIMATISATION AND NIGHT-TIME REST OF COSMONAUTS IN ZERO GRAVITY Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC B64G1/60 

FIELD: engineering.

SUBSTANCE: centrifugal apparatus for acclimatization and night-time rest of cosmonauts in zero gravity relates to the area of providing normal life conditions of cosmonauts in zero gravity and constitutes a compact centrifugal apparatus comprised of a rotation shaft with an electrical drive, two rings of different diameters perpendicular to the rotation shaft, located at a distance from each other and rigidly connected to the rotation shaft by diametrical plates, capsules with electric drives for accommodation of cosmonauts inclined relative to the rotation axis of the centrifugal apparatus and located between the rings and symmetrically around the circumference of the rings. The centrifugal apparatus is configured to rotate the capsules with cosmonauts by the electric drives relative to the rings of the centrifugal apparatus, synchronously with the rotation of the centrifugal apparatus but with the direction of rotation opposite to the rotation thereof. Rotation of the centrifugal apparatus creates artificial gravity by the impact of centrifugal force, and the inclination of the capsule with the cosmonaut relative to the axis of rotation of the centrifugal apparatus normalizes the blood and fluid flow in the body of the cosmonaut due to the created pressure gradient (difference).

EFFECT: centrifugal apparatus is characterized by artificial gravity impacting the cosmonaut in a natural position for night-time rest.
