A room with a stronger gravitational force?

AI Thread Summary
Creating a room with stronger gravitational force is not feasible due to the nature of gravity being tied to mass, making it impractical to artificially increase gravity in a localized area. A centrifuge could simulate increased gravity effects, similar to training methods used for astronauts and pilots. Athletes could also use weights to enhance their training, but this approach may not be suitable for all types of athletic training, particularly for fast-twitch muscle development. Suggestions like training on a larger planet or using aircraft for acceleration were mentioned but are not practical solutions. Overall, while the concept is intriguing, current technology does not support the creation of a room with enhanced gravity.

Hello dear scientists,

I was wondering if it's possible to create a room with a stronger gravitational force, whether on this planet or not, as opposed to an anti-gravity room. This is where athletes such as fighters could train for substantial results. Any ideas on how this could be possible?

Thank you.

Like a place with let's say, 1.2 the times of gravity, so that runners could way more, and therefore train for higher amounts of stamina for races with Earth gravity?

If gravity is the result of the mass of the earth, I really don't know how you could do it unless you had a very large habitable planet lying around.
 
It could be simulated with a centrifuge—a much larger version of the type used for fighter pilot and astronaut training.

or any aircraft flying in circles.

Train on Jupiter?
 
Weights on their arms and legs?

It may not be exactly what you want - but you can't beat it for $$$!

You've been watching dragonball z haven't you...Sadly no ther eis no way to artificially increase gravity in a localised area in a practical manner.
Dave has the best method, form fitting weights.
 
depending on the results you want. for athletes that need to train their fast twitch muscles they wouldn't want to train that way b/c it trains their muscles to move at less than the fastest speed attainable.
