While Jupiter itself has 317 times more mass than Earth, it isn't very dense which means the radius is far larger. With a 1.5 meter radius and a top speed of 42 RPM, the centrifuge goes up to 3 G. Roughly the same as the Space Shuttle during launch. @QuantumRand: Jupiter’s gravity is only 2.36 greater than the gravity on your planet.

I can't really make out what the accelerometer says there, but it looks like 15 g's...That's a long ways off of Jupiter. As a proof of concept, I suppose it at least suggests that the concept of a Lava Lamp will work on Jupiter, and why wouldn't it? Liquids are largely uncompressable.
