tangential thrusters spin the city prompts

Thrusters used for spin-up could also serve as part of the propulsion system. For example, tangential thrusters spin the city, while axial thrusters move it. Advanced vectoring might allow dual-purpose use

• Central Cylinder: Imagine a straight, horizontal cylinder. This is the main body of the shape. • Truncated Cones: At each end of the cylinder, picture a cone that has been cut off (truncated) at its narrow end. These truncated cones flare outwards, increasing in diameter as they move away from the central cylinder. • Rings: Just before each truncated cone begins, there's a thick, circular ring encircling the cylinder. These rings are significantly wider than the cylinder itself and have a distinct thickness. • Inner Rods/Cage: Inside the central cylinder, visualize a series of thin, straight rods running parallel to the cylinder's length. These rods are evenly spaced around the interior, creating a cage-like structure. • Spin-Up Mechanism: Thrusters or reaction control systems (RCS) positioned tangentially on the city’s perimeter would fire to initiate rotation. Once spinning, minimal energy is needed to maintain it in the frictionless vacuum of space.
