Easier to make might be a device like a record clamp you can attach to an existing turntable platter. It should be easy to do the experiment by trying a weight on the turntable platter: 1. a solid weight 2. an equal weight container of viscous liquid (you can try different liquids, maybe even Single Malt Scotch) Then just listen to compare if there is a difference. I will be interested to hear what results everyone has.
Yes, it might be cool but it would take time to stabilize after you put it on a record on the platter. As the experiment it would be perfect, even better to implement this type of centrifuge stabilization inside of the external record clamp (that sits outside of record) – trios clamps might be used within some turntables. The outside clamp has higher speed and it will do more effective viscous stabilization. The only problem is that in this case is needs to be some kind objective control that liquid speed is synchronized with clamp’s speed. In case of platter it would not an issue as liquid speed will not be affected (or affect very minorly) by the change of records.
