artificially increasing the force of gravity is relatively easy. You simply attach the apparatus to the arm of a rapidly spinning centrifuge.

the bubbles are so small that they get stuck to the potato by capillary forces, and so further increases in gravity make little difference.

and in fact some disadvantages, from centrifuging to a force greater than 3g. This could be worth knowing for the food industry,

and conflict, pitting nation against  nation, and neighbour against neighbour.  It doesn't have to be this way.

The loose skin on its large frame whips around its body with enough force to shed the water quite easily.

it needs to shake proportionally faster to generate the same forces to break the surface tension of water on its fur oe up to 33 times per second,

pulling forces of up to 70g. All of which suggests that animals tune the frequency of their shakes to maximise the efficiency of getting dry.
