    Maybe I’ll take some pics and spin a grape at 10,000g this week to demonstrate.

Cool! Please, do so. Could you do it on both seedless and 'normal' grape? How long does it take your centrifuge to get to those speeds?

EDIT I'd also love to get data like lengths (arm, grape), masses and whatever else you can measure without being inconvenienced. I'm intrigued by the mystery of the unsquashable grape, but wouldn't want to impose beyond what I wrote before.

Sure, I'll do it either today or tomorrow. Not sure I can promise multiple grape varieties. It gets to those speeds in less than 1 minute.
