Checked for spinning.

Would a purely gravity/acceleration based containment system like this work or would you need a shield to keep the solar wind off? Assume a design lifetime of at least ten thousand years.

A cylinder would have to be pretty damn large simply by design because you can't really live comfortably in anything small that spins.
I really liked the design from the movie Elysium. Had an open roof with gravity keeping the air in. See pic

This thread is off the charts for deleted posts. All the pol nonsense shitting up the place still remains though.
