Coriolis Design Flaw

[TieKnee]

So while doing a bit of flight assist off along the training station, I noticed gravity isn't ideal everywhere with this design.

Many strange things happen in space ... expect the unexpected !!

I you would magically elliminate the station, you would fall in a tangent of your previous circular movement, not the centrifugal vector.

Correct.

As long as it is still present, the station's rotation equals your own and all is left is the outward centrifugal vector, resulting in the feeling of 'gravity', of course.

Nope, the 'outward centrifugal vector' is actually the resultant of your inertia and station wall's centripetal vector.

Oh wait....

This was about the triangular corner faces all along?

Then yes, they are indeed aligned incorrectly

I take all I said back Bambi, I was under the impression the video was taken from a side face.

I admit defeat.

Science always wins!

Ah I meant outward relative to the station which is rotating, if we use a zero momentum reference then of course you are right.
