With circular motion, you can spin threads, mill grain, move a wheel forward, drill holes, bring water upwards, generate electricity spinning turbines, create gravity, defeat gravity. It’s just too OP

    After diffusion you get a mixture of the isotopes, which is useless by itself. You have then have to separate these very similar atoms by atomic weight, and for that you need centrifuges, because the only difference between those isotopes is mass (which causes diffences in a flight path in a curve, similarily to how GC/MS works), which means that any other separation method will not enrich the isotope you are looking for; U-235 and U-238 diffuse identically, or at least so very much identically that you can’t make an industrial process out of the difference.

      No this is new technology I’m talking about the very beginning. Centrifugals for Uranium Enrichment is the new and current method. When they started out they used multiple diffusion chambers. Look at the tube alloys project and then the manhatten project which is what all this eventually became. It started with diffusion.
