Beautifully rendered video of a wheel-shaped space habitat with artificial gravity. This shows viscerally what I pointed out in my Substack posts on the Single-Family Space Colony: that windows are a bad idea in rotating environments. #space#3dmodel
@KarlSchroeder Yeah. My preferred model for a space habitat with spin-gravity: take a gravel-pile asteroid like 101955 Bennu. Inflate a steel balloon inside it (fill with breathable air). Build spinning habitat inside airbag. Add nets and other safety features to taste. Added bonus: the rubble pile outside provides cosmic radiation shielding. Negatives: for farming, you need grow lamps powered by external PV panels—no direct sunlight available.
@cstross@KarlSchroeder If you should wish to inflate Bennu into a shell; you may want to put an outer layer of bag to stop pieces from flying away into space (more so than already happens, anyway).
Complications to this approach include the possibility of creating hot spots inside the containment that cook the mercury & arsenic in the rubble out into vapor that will freeze out onto any cold spots along with less-exciting water & sulfur.
Since people seemed to like the tamagotchi holder I made, I thought I’d showcase a render I made for it! Using blender I was able to recreate the 3D printing lines and filament color.
@xorn Thanks! After asking I realized I could have used a modifier in the existing one or imported it into Fusion and punched some holes through it. :-)
@phranck@3dprinting just a quick observation regarding these designs, if the sensor (which i suppose) is on the back of these sensors, they won't show you any reliable data since they are to close to the silica... I had major discrepancys to another sensor it threw in to get some comparison....
@phranck@3dprinting printables is full of these.. and they all show 10% which is the lowest on the cheap ones I guess. Whats weird that no one seems to notice. Just print some container and add a sensor somewhere for some reliable data. At least thats what I did.
