dyson fan, but really big.

Y'all are plebs. Dyson TETRAHEDRON is where it's at.

What if an advanced extraterrestrial civilization had the concept of shitposting and had the resources to make a giant Dyson Dick?

That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
FFS just build a goddamned Ringworld already, or do you NEED more?

>not normie shit like dyson swarms or orbital rings (but variants of the two would be appreciated). I mean obscure shit.
isnt normie shit watching some tiktok videos or netflix racemixing propaganda? i thought im an elite.

I think the corcscrew lets you keep day and night cycles
basic ringworld has constant day

Even settling an existing one might be an unsurmountable problem. Let's say the spiral is two billion km long. It would take THREE CENTURIES of the fastest bullet train ride to get to the other side.

How about Coruscant? How plausible is it in practice and does it count as a megastructure?

>>12529603
The word youre looking for is eucumenopolis

>>12529615
Ecumenopolis really only means worldwide city, it doesn't imply the multilayer structure if Coruscant.

>>12529298
If you need to get to the entire other side for some reason, you take a spacecraft, not a 21st century bullet train.

What's gonna be the first space megastructure humans build?

Does pendulum clock work there if it's artificial gravity?

>>12527732
It cannot be built, no known material has that kind of strength. Think about a bridge that spans thousands of kilometers with any noticeable bend in earth's gravity.

Dyson Trebuchet - Massive anchor station in a circular orbit with a comparatively low-mass launch station held in the radial direction at the end of an armature several hundred thousand/million kilometers long

Back of the envelop calculation, if the anchor station has an orbital radius, R and the armature has a length L, then the tangential velocity of an object leaving the launch station is of order
v ~ sqrt(GM/R)*(1+L/R) ~ c*sqrt(rs/2R)*(1+L/R)

So your ship makes a typical transfer to rendezvous with the anchor station, is locked onto a guide-rail of sorts running the length of the armature, and then simply drifts to the end of the line via centripetal forces until it reaches the end and is released at near-relativistic velocities.

wouldnt this slowly change the earths orbit over time

>>12531165
maybe if you used it to fling the moon out of the solar system, otherwise it wouldn't be a large enough change to matter. It could also be offset by using it to catch incoming ships and slow them down if it were ever to become a problem.

>>12531165
who said anything about using the earth? i'm thinking stations and ships

Star lifting is a underappreciated concept and will probably be the distant future of mindkind.
