Baby Dyson Sphere go brrr

right? like a potato gun for space
You just described every rocket ever made by man.

Dyson Straw.

Shut up science

new idea, we bring the sun closer to the Earth, run everything on boiling rock.
Wouldn’t even need to run it out that far and we don’t have the material science to handle temperatures near the sun.
