Topopolis - Wikipedia
WEBA topopolis is a proposed tube-shaped space habitat, rotating to produce artificial gravity via centrifugal force on the inner surface, which is extended into a loop around the local planet or star. The concept was invented by writer Patrick Gunkel.
Megastructure - Wikipedia
WEBTopopolis (also known as Cosmic Spaghetti) is a large tube that rotates to provide artificial gravity. A Ringworld (or Niven Ring) is an artificial ring encircling a star, rotating faster than orbital velocity to create artificial gravity on its inner surface.
TOPOPOLIS – Orbital Vector
WEBTOPOPOLIS represents a significant milestone in the evolution of space habitats. Its innovative design, advanced materials, artificial gravity generation, and unwavering commitment to sustainability make it a model for future space colonization efforts.

WEBOct 8, 2020 · The topopolis takes a bit more than ten minutes to complete a revolution. So if they wait for the same point to launch, they’ll always be following the same flight path. There is, in fact, an optimal flight path that takes into account the drone’s acceleration capability so that they will hit the angular velocity just as they come even with ...

WEBAug 20, 2008 · Spaghetti: The first topopolis of Cableville, constructed between 4800 and 5250. The tube is 500km in internal (minor) radius, and encircles the primary 50 times with an average orbital (major) radius of 1.8 AU. The internal surface area of Spaghetti is more than 84,300 x Earth's, with a mass of 4e21 tonnes.
