[edit] Summary

An illustration of a relativly simple arrangement of multiple Dyson rings in a more complex form of the Dyson swarm.

To scale.

Sun is accurately colored according to spectral type.

Ring orbital radii are spaced 1.5x10×10⁷km from one another, although the average orbital radius is 1 AU.

Collectors are 1.0 x 10×10⁷ km in diameter, or ~25 times the distance between the Earth and the Moon.

Collectors are spaced 3 degrees from midpoint to midpoint, around the orbital circle.

Camera perspective is from a point ~2.8 AU from the sun.

Rings are rotated 15 degrees relative to one another, around a common axis of rotation.
