How to Build a Dyson Sphere - The Ultimate Megastructure
If humans want to expand into space, it will take us incredible amounts of energy. How do we do that? Easy: we will just use the sun’s energy by realizing the most ambitious construction project in history. This is how it works.

yeet
Why is there only so little likes
Are you a scientist.also why arent we creating the railgun thingy now?
i like the type of style you did with the video
"did you do it?" "Yes" "What did it cost?" "Mercury"
Earth: Mercury may die, but it's a sacrifice... _I_ am willing to make.
WHAT DID YOU DO TO MERCURY
I come back to this video sometimes just for this comment
RIP mercury
Sometimes Kurzgesagt make the dumbest videos like this one . No civilization would go to the trouble of making a dyson sphere when you can just make a computer to simulate the universe and the simulated occupants of said universe would never grow old , be sick or die ...that is why we don't detect Aliens because they shed biology long ago .
"Where is Mercury?" "Gone. Reduced to mirrors."
lol good comment
psychological torture
Lol
Reduced to Dyson sphere
what if... we just use the actual element Mercury as mirrors?
Hi guys! I am from the year 5024 and this tutorial helped me build the dyson sphere. It works
hi hope my descendant see my comment here

Hey, did my indie animation ever become a real thing??? Please tell me! I’m gonna start animating soon!
Great tutorial! Been having trouble building these recently. I think ive got the hang of it now
Lol
lmfao
That's why the power bill dropped okay thanks bro
When I was building one at home, I had an issue with transporting the energy produced over long distances. No need to worry, this video was a great tutorial explaining how mirrors could be used to reflect the sun light to the collectors. It is a great school project. I fully recommend it. lol
Wow I just suck at building one than. Got a D for the project. I was able to explain the process but I was not being 247% efficient with my power.
I think Kurzgesagt are a group of time travelers from the future and they've been telling us how to survive.

Getting the attention of big companies for funding megastructures. That is the hardest part
Saving resources from being wasted on bombs that the higher ups use to destroy eachother
When I was a little boy and I learned about solar power I often would think about how pointless it was to have solar collectors on the ground when we could just have them in space! Even better if we could have them around the sun itself! I never had a word for describing this until I was in high school when I came across the idea of Dyson spheres I got disappointed it wasn’t an original idea but also super happy someone else thought of it too and became super curious about far-future technologies ever since! Dyson spheres are my favorite!
Thank you for this guide! I made my own at home and the results have been very positive so far!

Its insane to think back to when I first saw this and was blown away by some of these pretty shots of the swarm, only to come back now and see it as almost unprofessional compared to what they make now. Insane. Lovely video, keep up the amazing work. :)

"if you're like us and enjoy using the power of science to determine absurd ways to destroy stuff you might want to hear how you can come up with something like that yourself" truly awesome quote
Sexy...🗿🗿
Played it through already! Was big fun and still is. But my Dyson Swarm was a bit short-lived and the solar sails vanished after approx. 30 Minutes. So I used them to create a sphere. Thank god, I have the resources of not only a planet but a whole galaxy to exploit. But the Dark Fog seems pretty interested in my doing as well... Nasty little buggers.
Amen brother, keeping the swarm off my resource outposts gets annoying. I am currently constructing a HUGE Dyson sphere around a type O star (blue super giant) I got the frame in place but making and launching the millions and millions of mirrors are going to take forever.
We were born just in time to speculate whether or not humanity can achieve this level of technology

I wonder, would it be possible to use such mirrors to focus more sunlight on, say, Mars to heat it up and thus helping to terraform it? Kinda like a huge magnifying glass. I mean, we'd only need to set up some sort of protection against radiation and solar storms, somehow create an atmosphere and get enough water on Mars to make it habitable...
ooh ooh! laser mars until it has a molten core to make a magnetic field, (i think that’s why it doesn’t idk i’m not doing research rn) and then radiation isn’t an issue :D obviously this is a joke but it’s funny to think about
Kurgesztat has a video on your idea, sort of
You're just repeating the info from a different kurzgesagt video, pretending like it's an original idea to get likes
@@Pablo-yd6gc No one with half a brain gives a shit about likes.
@@Pablo-yd6gcyour just throwing out assumptions for absolutely no reason
As one man once noted, the problem to building a Dyson Sphere is two-fold: 1. If it doesn't spin, the slightest nudge will imbalance it and it will collapse. 2. Spinning it stops the problem of imbalance. However, centrifugal force for something the size of the sun will apart.
But the whole video focused on a Dyson Swarm, not a Dyson Sphere. If its a swarm, then it doesnt need to spin, it would simply need to orbit which we know how to do. So you couldn't "nudge" a Dyson Swarm because its not a single object.
it's main focus was on dyson swarms not an entire structure. he already explained what would happen if it was a dyson sphere stucture.

There’s another comment mentioning a game called “Dyson Sphere Program”. It’s about building a Dyson sphere (shockingly). I don’t know if there’s other stuff like tethers or black hole bombs or anything about it really, but I thought to mention it anyway.

@@ExEBoss Nope. Mercury is many orders of magnitude more massive than all the astroids in the solar system. There isn't enough astroids to make a full Dyson swarm, and they're too far away regardless. Mercury really is the best solution.

Why we don’t put solar panels on mercury instead of destroying mercury to build dyson sphere
@@secretunknown2782 Because solar panels are very short-lived compared to the timespan it will take us to harnes all the energy needed for interstellar space travel. Solar panels are not as efficient as we think :) They're still heaps better than fossil fuels at not destroying our planet, but it's still not good enough for very, very big energy generation. I've got my sights set on nuclear fusion, but that needs to be properly funded and isn't really at the moment.

I mean how many of us would actually be bothered if the planet was completely mined to the core to the point where it's unrecognizable? I mean obviously if it had life it would be a different story, but if the planet itself is dead then it truly is a small price to pay.

Oh no
Teachers of students in a 1,000 years: analysis this historic video from the 21 century. Is this accurate to today’s Dyson spheres? Explain why or why not. LOL
Damn, right on the nose
Student: While the initial idea was best for the time, we quickly grew into a more viable method by allowing such a task to be done by the Supercomputer Alliance of Milky Way (SAMW) in exchange for an entire loop of the Milky Way for them to colonize and prosper from. Fortunately, the Galactic Unity of the Many Species (GUMS) that regulates trade between species enforced the contract with minimal conflict. At this moment, SAMW has developed the optimal methodology for this design and has exported it to the other belts, each inhabited by their own species. While the primitive Dyson sphere allowed for about 25% of a star's energy to be harvested and refined into about 5%, modern quantum technology allows for 75% with a 5% failure rate and the refinement of the energy is increased to approximately 40%, ensuing a 24 times increase for a tradeoff of 1/20 swarms not working and easily replaced. Considering the amount of resources nesseccarry nowadays to create one, I would argue that a cost to efficiency in construction, we gain much more than is lost.
Hello students of the year 3019

Believe anything an actor tells you, especially when he's acting, and your kind of asking to be fooled, no?
@@mpirron1 You know he is an actual scientist right? Your comment seems kinda random.
@@Feja2503So I know he wrote a couple of books under his own name death by black hole and astrophysics for busy people or something like that, I didn't read them you know but one time in the airport I read the back cover of the black hole one and there was a mention of dark matter so I put it right back. I know he talk up every Astro- ... -ist he could about removing Pluto as a planet until he got enough consensus to say it was true so he might quit bugging them about it only to be I don't know what do you call that ah debunked or whatever. I guess it didn't really look good for NASA to be sending a multi-gazillion dollar probe to a non-planet. So that didn't work out for him but it got him a job as the Director of the Hayden planetarium I guess yeah but when my kid went there he said he said the guide said he wasn't there so musta just missed him. I suppose he's done some sciencey stuff outside of all that cuz when he went to a lot of schools, gets to be called Dr. and wins a lot of sciency-sounding awards so he must have been doing something but I haven't really found anything I would say groundbreaking. On the other hand he has written two books and answered a magazine column under the pen name of Merlin, so he's known to act under psuedonym, he's narrated all kinds of Discovery Channel and PBS stuff like Morgan Freeman, he hosts and participates in panels with other scientists if there's a camera, I know that. I've seen him acting on The Big Bang Theory and Stargate Atlantis, he's been in a couple of dozen or so other shows, cartoon character voice overs, and an animated films. He was on Epic Rap Battles of History and has dropped the mic on some suckas recycles his own jokes on Twitter so so he's got some comedic talent. I saw him on Joe Rogan and he really made me laugh when he said that the Earth is a pear-shaped spheroid that is sticker around the middle because it's spinning real fast like a pizza, and and if there's no way the moon landing could have been a hoax because it would have been it would have been way more difficult to fake than was to actually going. I think that's what really did it for me though because anybody who's able to say that with the straight face is one hell of an actor. But no I do not know he's an actual scientist, but I do know some actual scientists and none of them have IMDB pages, they prove shit, they don't talk shit how about you?

Dude the Dyson swarm not only solves problems listed but also the complete obstruction of all sunlight
You only block it out if you use 100% of the star's energy. A Dyson swarm wouldn't block out the sun. A tiny fraction of the sun's energy would likely be enough until we can expand to other stars.

I'd like to see a civilization type game with kurzgegasts graphics with all these gameplay elements they talked about like Dyson spheres Terra forming and things like that
I love how they presented it like a civilization strategy game. I would love it if they made one, with most of their scientific teachings as occurences in the game, like after getting enough resources you could build a dyson swarm, etc. Kinda like Spore.
