højG
højG is a term used in Danish-language scientific and engineering discourse to denote high-G environments—situations in which subjects or equipment experience accelerations on the order of several gravities. The concept is commonly discussed in aeronautics, astronautics, and biomechanics, where understanding how high G-forces affect physiology, equipment performance, and design is important.
Origin and usage: The word combines høj, meaning "high" in Danish, with G, the symbol for gravitational
Measurement and methods: Researchers characterize højG exposures by peak G, duration, onset rate, and recovery time.
Applications: In pilot and astronaut selection and training, højG studies help assess tolerance and inform design
Safety and ethics: Human højG experiments require stringent risk assessment, informed consent, medical screening, and emergency
