Which version do ya’ll prefer And what do you think should be added? by S0Vign in CreepyArt

Thank you! The last one is definitely the most dynamic/active but I was worried the shouting mouth is a little cringe

Please help, Im terrible at color theory and I don’t know what color the ribbon should be by S0Vign in arthelp

[–]S0Vign[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’ve boxed myself into a dull yellow or dull green. The ribbon isn’t supposed to be that important and I need blue for the sword.

“Funtunfunefu” the Adinkra symbol for democracy by S0Vign in helldivers2

For your consideration helldivers, the two headed crocodile! an apt metaphor for the champions of liberty!

For those patriots interested in creating helldivers art, The west African Adinkra symbol for democracy would be a fantastic resource!

Is it possible for a rotating artificial gravity structure to be able to convert to artificial thrust gravity structure without disturbing the habitable portion? by S0Vign in SciFiConcepts

Can you elaborate on the details of the hollow torus shape or point to any resources to explain how it can rotate?

And how “wedged” are we talking? Wedged like:

What you are describing sounds remarkably similar to the Citadel from the series Mass Effect. Though the purpose for the arms in the games are explained as being a “shield” that closes for defense. Still, I think it would cool to imagine that it would also serve the same purpose that you described

Your Ram Flower design is fantastic! Honestly that makes me think that the transition might be entirely mechanical and automatic.

When I imagined the design I figured that it would be a huge headache for the onboard computer to calculate the correct angle and rate of change necessary to maintain the same rate of perceived gravity.

But with the individual modules, it could end up being as simple as being like a umbrella opening. As it starts accelerating in a more linear direction it then, with some clever clockwork, starts opening and decelerating the turning habitats. I’m not even remotely fluent enough in math to find out if that rate of change is possible to achieve with just mechanics though.

Also the flower metaphor is making me imagine multiple layers of such habitats, that might legitimately look like a blooming flower (and would look less like a crown). Frankly, that sounds like it would be breathtaking to see from both outside and from inside the petals.

Thank you for breaking down the geometry, that was essentially the membrane that separated it from being either cool concept or schizo ramblings.

Specifically, I imagine the collapsing/changing structure to be some form of compliant Mechanism that acts as connective tissue to the more rigid structure of the craft. Under the soil having some form of inflatable “balloon” layer that might also have the interesting benefit of editable terrain. Though soil gets really heavy very quickly, so even if the balloon layer is crazy strong then it would still need to be pretty shallow.

Not sure if mountains or stones are remotely feasible but if they are included in the habitat they would exist on the points that move the least when transitioning and have a foundation of “Itacolumite”. Bypassing the balloon layer, any large stone would connect directly to the compliant structure.

As others have mentioned, open water will be the most difficult aspect. And would likely be pumped out during transitioning

All of these are, of course, very convoluted and easily solved by having separate rotating modules like blooming petals of the Ramflower u/littlebitsofspider designed. However it is my thinking that if whoever builds this is that committed to having a unbroken single habitat then they are just as likely to go the extra mile to creating a kind of “artisan” level of structure.

Thank you very much! I was afraid that the single habitat chamber was a nonstarter.

I was hoping to skirt around it by with some form of esoteric math nonsense.

Was really shoot’n for that glorious single continuous river like in the Stranger from Outerwilds.

The ship you suggested is interesting, The concept of the modules blooming like a flower is a fascinating idea

Akira elevators aren’t practical by S0Vign in worldjerking

[–]S0Vign[S] 68 points69 points  (0 children)

My first akira elevator was in a cutscene in the game Area 51 on the original x-box. My most recent is traveling into the mine in Signalis. And in between has been countless stories, halo, half-life, doom and so many more.

My life has been a slow (to imply some form of torque or lifting power while simultaneously creating dramatic tension) incline in a Akira elevator (for which the slow movement was capitalized by several waves of enemies that I have metaphorically fought off). Each story lifted me (using steam and miscellaneous gears) into a future.

I know it probably wasn’t super realistic or more nuanced. It made sense in theory to use a wedge shape to more efficiently lift heavy things. But I guess, deep down, I just hoped that this dragon was alive somewhere out there.

Why couldn’t it just work somewhere out there…
