FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the fluidic centripetal device shown in a closed cover configuration;

FIG. 2 is a top view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a front view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a is a left side view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a right side view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a rear view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a bottom view thereof; and,

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the fluidic centripetal device shown in an open cover configuration.

Throughout the Figures, the broken lines illustrate unclaimed portions of the fluidic centripetal device. None of the broken lines form a part of the claimed design.
