Question: Other than a rotating drum what other ways do you think scientists could produce artificial gravity?

I know of a few methods…. but only shortlived.
1/ fly a fast jet in a parabolic ( vertically curved ) flight path. this lets the people inside the jet experience positive “G” anf negative “G”. Check out NASA’s website for details of their “vommit commet”…… looks like fun …. ( unless the pilot feels like making the passengers pass out at high “G” loads… at say 9G, a person of 50Kg bodywieght suddenly weighs nine times that, = 450kg, almost half a ton ! )
2/ accellerate really hard in a straight line. – noting negative accelleration = braking – not as effective though you may only reach arounf 1 G this way.
3/ Slam 2 particles together at high speed. ( like on the LHC at CERN) , you can make really small, really short lived Black holes… that have a lot of gravity for a teeeeeny amount of time.

not artificial gravity for space station use though, sorry !
