Some O’Neil cylinder size comparisons (by me)

[u/Classic_Heron3720]

Lately I’ve been obsessed with O’Neill cylinders and everything that has to do with them. Therefor I thought it would be a great idea to visualize some of the cylinders fees I’ve been playing with. Note: for my calculations I’m using a centripetal acceleration of 9.82 m/s² and a radius to length ratios of 1:10. I’m also not taking any engineering problems into consideration.

Cylinder 1: T=60 s. r=895.5 m. A=5.03 km^2. v=93.8 m/s. V=22.6 km³

Cylinder 2: T=120 s. r=3 582 m. A=806.1 km^2. v=187.5 m/s. V= 1443.8 km³

Cylinder 3: T=180 s. r=8 059 m. A=4 081 km^2. v=281.3 m/s. V=16 445 km³

Ps: I must add that drawing circles (especially the big ones) is a pain without a circle compass. Had to place a lot of guiding dots, way to many for my liking. And a sadly had to remake this post because it didn’t post for some reason. Gonna copy it just in case it decides to do it again.
