To build a centrifuge you first need to decide what G force you need to generate. This is a function of the distance that the unit to be centrifuged is from the center axis and the rotational frequency (RPM). A major difficult you might run into is balancing the unit you make. The basic components of a centrifuge are the motor, case, rotor, and shield. The rotor holds the tubes, the case holds the motor in place and is a sturdy base, the shield protects you from any debri that could be thrown from an unbalanced rotor. If you MUST build a centrifuge you will need to learn to machine an accurate and balanced rotor. You are really just better off buying one.
If you are in search of a cheap and simple centrifuge for playing with, use some tubing and an egg beater like these students did:

Do you centrifuge blood for a cbc?
No you do not centrifuge blood for a CBC. This could cause issues when reading the results.
What machine spins the test tube?
Centrifuge
What are the examples of Centrifuge?
exzample by spiining bottles in a machinr
Why do you need a place a second tube into centrifuge?
Balance.
Instrument is used to spin liquids to separate components?
Small cylinders of liquids are placed in a disk, with their length in the plane of the disk. When the disk is spun at high revolutions per minute, a high centripetal force, equivalent to several gravities is generated along the length of the tube, thus settling out any heavier portions of the contents. In practice, the tube is inclined to the spin axis, to aid the sediment to flow down the surface of the tube.
Instrument used to separtate cell parts according to density is the?
That sounds like density centrifugation...So, a centrifuge?
What are the parts of a centrifuge and their functions?
A centrifuge has holes to insert the centrifuge tubes in, a cap to secure the tubes inside, and a lid to protect both the samples and experimenter in case of malfunction. There is also typically a way to set the centrifuge speed and a power switch to turn the centrifuge on and off.
Who developed the centrifuge?
Antonin Prandtl, however Gustof de Laval invented the first "Modern" centrifuge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifuge
How motor in centrifuge works?
centrifuge is a system which is used to separate the water from the diesel.
How do you use centrifuge to separate plasm in blood?
Using centrifuge: brill idea
What is centrifuge swing-out rotor?
A Centrifuge Swing-out Rotor is a part of a centrifuge which attaches to the motor and holds the sample tubes. A swing-out, as opposed to a Fixed Angle rotor, has holders that move from vertical to horizontal as the centrifuge speeds up.
What is the centrifuge tube used for?
A centrifuge is used for separating components in a liquid that have different weights.
How much is a centrifuge?
A good centrifuge, such as the Eppendorf 5702 Series, will cost you upwards of $2,000.
How can blood be separated by centrifuge?
During the centrifuge based on their size/ molecular weight it will be separated.
Does centrifuge spin things outward or inward?
outward, because centrifuge means separating.
What instrument is used to separate blood into it's liquid and solid components?
Centrifuge.
A machine called a centrifuge is used in distillation?
No. A machine called a centrifuge is used in separation by density.
