So, instead of using calculated centrifuge forces
(which will be named path-normals, which defines
better what they are), I used the inertia-calculating
method Rune mentioned in reply to my fist
centrifuge animation.

It was some fiddling with the internal algorithms, since
calculating speed of splines/macros/translation/rotations
isn't as easy as one might expect, if we want things
to stay in scale.

But I managed it, as you can see. Reason is, I'm
pretty firm in my own system by now... ;-)

Inertia now adds 75 percent of speed and direction
to the original direction and speed of a particle,
which would be outwards from the actual
path taken.

Comments, suggestions, criticism?
