Support structures: "Revenge of the Nubs!" or less aggressive: "Return of the Nubs!"

EDIT:

And how could I have missed these?

"Revenge of the Nurbs!" or "Return of the Nurbs!"

Fascinating. For Polywell applications, would this be a method of avoiding the cusps created by the close approach of the rings?* In effect, make each ring-generated magnetic field ignore the presence of the others? Confinement advantages? Structural advantages? Maybe not, we want current carrying s...

Stretch the imagination? Avoid the mess of minor planet collisions with Venus? Try a mini-Ringworld (really just a reasonably rigid hoop - enough to keep the hoop from falling out of the sky, Chicken Little) built elsewhere in the solar system and then made coorbital and concentric with Venus' cente...

Having only two supports doesn't look so pretty with this one:



But this arrangement is tetrahedral:

@KitemanSA, Something like this: http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x367/Robert_Peters/6-Coil_45deg_Cntlvr.jpg or this? http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x367/Robert_Peters/6-Coil_45dg_Twst_30dg_Sply.jpg Since there should be pretty symmetric forces (except for gravity), we might be able to use o...

Yeah, I bet Tom is probably biting his tongue right now, trying to figure out what he can say and how he can say that without breaking his NDA. Well...Tom is probably so hip-deep in lawyers over his previous unauthorized disclosure the WB-8 is "shiny" it wasn't worth the effort to post the list of ...

Oceans! Given that most of earth surface is water, what about living in gigantic nuclear powered self-sustainable ships cruising forever through oceans? Sound like quite a fun way to spend all these longevity years... I have long thought humanity ought to move almost all of our population onto the ...
