The bigger headache isn’t building the sphere, but being able to withstand the gravitational force of living near a fucking star.

dyson spheres are so stupid

>oh this star has 10 gajillion gajillion watts
>ok how do we access it
>put solar panels around the surface where the energy is the least and the slowest rate

just like blow up the star or something or throw something in there

We have no idea how we could harvest energy directly from the star though

I guess if you're going to have the technology to build a dyson sphere your efforts would be better off spent trying to perfect nuclear fusion

>>27448
put the star in a lake and then use the steam to move a turbine fan connected to an alternator

You have obviously not thought about clogging caused by dead fish. Meanwhile placing the star above a glacier and moving it oten enough so that the ice can renew itself every 23K years makes far more sense.
