Dyson Ring Solar Panels

A dyson sphere or shell as it appeared in the original paper is a hypothetical megastructure originally described by freeman dyson.

Dyson ring solar panels.

A dyson sphere is a theoretical mega engineering project that encircles a star with platforms orbiting in tight formation it is the ultimate solution for living space and energy production. Out of our league.

Such a sphere would be a system of orbiting solar power satellites meant to completely encompass a star and capture most or all of its energy output. A dyson ring the simplest form of the dyson swarm to scale. Imagine sucking up the immense energy output of the sun by totally encapsulating it with a vast mega structure made of solar panels that is the dyson sphere. Orbit is 1 au in radius collectors are 1 0 10 7 km in diameter 10 gm or 25 times the earth moon distance spaced 3 degrees from center to center around the orbital circle.

A dyson sphere in our solar system would have a radius of 1 au and a minimum surface area of 2 72x 10 17 km 2 roughly 600 million times the surface area of the earth. As the video says the simpler the better so a swarm of mirrors pointing to the actual solar panels is better. The simplest form of dyson sphere might begin as a ring of solar power collectors at a distance from a star of say 100 million miles. Like a dense cloud of bees buzzing around a hive a dyson swarm largely.

This configuration is sometimes called a dyson ring. Building solar panels are very expensive and require constant maintenance so it isn t useful for our megastructure.
