The final design can spin at 125,000 revolutions per minute – which is over two thousand spins a second!

最终设计的旋转度可达每分钟 125,000 转——每秒超过两千转！

The machines are single molecule motors that can spin at about 3 million rotations a second when a blue light shines on them.

这些机器是单分子马达，当蓝光照射到机器上时，可以每秒三百万转的度旋转。

Now, we’ve also talked about the frequency of uniform circular motion: It’s the number of revolutions the marble makes around the ring every second, and it’s equal to 1, divided by the period.

现在，我们还谈到圆周运动的频率：是弹珠每秒绕圆环转的圈数，等于 1 除以周期。

Within each hundredth of a second, the sensors see 12 pulses of light and using the generated  pulse train, the processor calculates that the wheel is spinning at 25 rotations a second and  then sends this information to the computer.

在每百分之一秒内， 传感器会看到 12 个光脉冲， 利用生成的脉冲序列，处理器计算出车轮以每秒 25 转的度旋转， 然后将该信息发送到计算机。
