In a rotating cylindrical habitat in space, the gravitational field along the axis is primarily influenced by the centrifugal force due to rotation, which creates an effective "gravity" that pushes occupants outward from the axis. However, the actual gravitational field is negligible since the habitat is not in a significant gravitational field itself. As one moves along the axis of the cylinder, the effective gravity increases towards the outer rim, while it remains close to zero at the central axis. Thus, occupants experience simulated gravity that increases with radial distance from the axis.

How did the phonograph cylinder work?

The phonograph cylinder worked by rotating while a needle traced the sound vibrations etched into the surface of the cylinder. As the needle moved along the grooves, it vibrated and transmitted the sound to a diaphragm, which then effectively converted those vibrations into sound waves that we could hear.

What do you call half a cylinder?

If the cylinder is cut in half along the side it is still a cylinder. If the cylinder is cut in half along one of the circular faces it is a horizontal cylindrical segment, which would look like a pig trough not hollowed out.
