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:

What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
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.
What instrument is used to separate blood into it's liquid and solid components?
Centrifuge.
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 is the reaction force to centripetal force in a centrifuge?
The centripetal force is the force with which the centrifuge pushes some object inwards. The opposite force, of course, is the object pushing the centrifuge outwards.
What is the structure and function of a serofuge?
A serofuge is a small centrifuge specifically designed to separate serum from cells and to complete blood cell washing procedures. Like a centrifuge, a serofuge has holes to insert the centrifuge tubes in, a lid to protect both the samples and experimenter in case of malfunction, and a way to set the centrifuge speed and way to turn the centrifuge on and off.
What does centrifuge mean in science?
Centrifuge is both a noun as well as a verb. A centrifuge is a machine used to spin liquid solutions at high speeds, which causes undissolved particles in the liquid to collect and form a pellet, making them easier to remove. To centrifuge a liquid means to subject it to centrifugation.
What begins with centri?
centrifuge
Instrument used to separtate cell parts according to density is the?
A centrifuge is the instrument used to separate cell parts according to density. By spinning samples at high speeds, the centrifuge applies centrifugal force to separate components based on their differing densities, allowing for isolation of specific cell parts such as organelles.
